WTF w/ Kompressor signage
Every day I see bone stock C230s and SLK230s (non AMG) with "Kompressor" rear and side badging. WHY??? I'm assuming not all these folks are jack *** posers. So why then are they coming out of the factory marked as such

MB puts "Kompressor" badges on its cars that have superchargers regardless of whether they are AMGs or not.

Thats because they are "Kompressor" cars...just not V8 "Kompressor"s . Also the "Kompressor" in a C 200 is not the same as the one in the v8. Hope it helps

I think they were actually badged before the original AMG 55k's came out so the 55k's are copycats
