Huh?

He names the file on YouTube "mercedesSLK 55 AMG in Hanoi" and then the second title page in the video says:

. TA production
. present
MercedesSLK55 AMG
. in Ha

Has nothing to do with AMG badge or not, the guy is FOS.

Two different cars, the one in the video and the one at the beginning of the post. The one in the video doesn't even have the AMG bodykit. Looks like the standard body. Now that guy is a poseur for sure. Nothing can justify the AMG badge there. Especially since his video title is pure BS.

But what I want to know, is if the person who took the video, actually knows the person who was driving the car?

To me, it seemed like it was just someone on a motorbike who happened to come across an SLK with an AMG badge, and thinking it was an AMG, he posted the video clip on youtube by labelling it as an AMG.

This is the part I don't like about the AMG badges, because it leads to confusion, and it's really just poseurism.

It's wierd since AMG bodykit on non-AMG cars come without the side air vents on the front spoiler... but than again, why twins? I think it's a fake, I am guessing he bought the bodykit off from an slk amg or may be an aftermarket replica
