AMG Grill Badge

AMG grill badge. The '99 spec. E55's have this badge on their lower front spoiler. I felt that the '00-'02 models also needed some AMG identification in the front. This was my solution.

E55 AMG
Where did I get these?

I got the AMG shift knob from a Mercedes specialty shop while on a business trip in Japan. It was quite expensive, over $300 because it is an authentic AMG-Japan part made specifically for the E55 AMG. (The box included the mercedes-amg part number for verfication.) I also got the badge from the same store. It's the authentic AMG badge that is used on the C36 AMG and '99 yr. E55 AMG front spoilers, and is probably available from any Mercedes dealer. The door sills were imported via Autoclass. http://www.autoclass.net

Nice car, I like that shift knob, I wish I could get one here in the US, Door sills make a nice improvement as well.

I have a supplier for AMG Birds Eye Maple shift knob and door handles here in Aust. I paid approx $100 US for shift knob and $200 US for door handles from Car Shine www.carshine.com.au
I am sure the guys are happy to ship world wide. I usually deal with Craig, craig@carshine.com.au
Hope this helps

Nice car mikE55! Do you also have some exterior pics of the car? Did you buy or lease?

Thanks!

AMG valve stem cap

While I'm at it, here's one last AMG enhancement - the AMG valve stem cover. No big deal, but it's the details that matter.

It almost looks like Miami, but it could be Maui
I think this looks better, I couldn't stand so much blue.

At least your car is a real AMG. I saw an idiot with a CLK320 and had at least 6 AMG badges on the car. Yet, he kept the CLK320 badging.

JamE55, When you going to have that project car done? Is the holdup the mink seat covers, the wheelie bars or the fuzzy dice with AMG imprinted on them.
