It's called the AMG appearance package, but it is not an actual AMG hence the lack of an AMG badge from the factory.

so if i debadge my clk550 to clk55 ///AMG that make a me a poser? pretty sure clk550 is just as fast as the clk55 so if i loose a race the other guy can take on a clk55 ///AMG.....

I was shut down in post 11 when I claimed the car had an AMG package...

He claimed....

I know these cars don't leave the factory with these badges

TopEndS62

Thank You...

I never said the car left the factory with the badges though.... I know they didn't... My argument was, what is the name of the package?

erifly

Thats downright mean. . But technically its still a poser. Someone did that in missouri area..created a thread on it a while back.

LitiGATOR

Absolutely.

False. Try again.

Putting CLK55 badges on your 550 makes you the definition of a poser.

What liar told you your 550 is as fast as a 55?

LB63

At least it's cleared up now.

I'm sure BMW has something similar like the M appearance package or something like that, and I think the same basic rule applies that if it just is an appearance package then the M badge should not be on the car.

I see a lot of BMW 550's with the M appearance package but no M badge just as it should be.

BLKCLK550

so you are saying clk55 amg is faster than clk550 ?
please explain....

LitiGATOR

Yes, of course it's faster. Explain? More hp = faster.

clk550, 5.5-liter V8 that develops 382 horsepower and 390 ft-lbs. of torque.
clk55, 5.4-liter V8 rated at 362 horsepower and 376 pound-feet of torque


I don't know how they can explain that? I wouldn't put amg clk55 because it doesn't belong to your car, but clk550 is faster than 55.

BLKCLK550

hahaha are you ok? CLK55 amg has 365 hp and CLK550 has 383......

shows how much you know.

+1 i would debage my car for one reason... more people would want to race me once they see AMG badge.

LitiGATOR

If that's true, then I stand corrected. I did not know that the CLK550 was faster than the CLK55; that's weird.

But, making your appear to be a CLK55 AMG would be posing. That I'm sure of.

Karlson

what are you talking about when you say if it's true? Google the specs of those cars and you will get the answer, nothing is weird.

BLKCLK550

posing to be a slower car ? so if i want to bedage my CLK550 to CLK350 and pick on people making them think they lost to a v6 clk350?
i would call that a sleeper not a poser.

If you want to get technical, in 2009 it was called the AMG Sport Package option 321. Before that, it was called the Sport Package option 333.

321 had: "sport front and rear bumper, AMG 18" 5-spoke wheels with all season tires, sports steering wheel with paddle shifters." The only thing branded with 'AMG' were the wheels. No side badges, etc..

The Mulroney sticker from the 2009 E Class simply called it "Sport Package 321."

LitiGATOR

It's weird that the CLK55 is slower than the CLK550. You'd think that the higher-end, more expensive model would be faster. That's what I think is weird, I'm not disputing that the CLK550 is faster (any more).

220S

Um, is that why you have Einstein as your avatar?

Anyway, this CLK550 versus CLK55 thing has been beaten to death years ago in just about every forum out there.

LB63

I would call it a sleeper too.

Akademiks

I would call you a poser.

Fact is, any tool that (even remotely entertains the idea herein of) placing a badge on a vehicle with the sole intent to confuse, fool, or in any other shape, way or form misrepresent the vehicle's true platform would thereafter be labeled as a poser, poser.

It's hilarious you seem surprised that Litigator assumed the CLK55 was faster then your lower on-the-food chain, cheaper and uglier CLK550-- yet you use his same logic for rebadging your vehicle-- because everyone thinks the AMG is faster (thereby making it easier for you to "get people to race"). Don't try to insult his intelligence and at the same time use it to justify your rebadging theory.

TopEndS62

thanks for the clear up

BLKCLK550

it just shows that many people don't know the performance of a clk550...
uglier ? last time i checked they look identical.

Akademiks

Not without the AMG bodykit, and not without the quad exhaust-- I suppose looks are a matter of opinion regardless.

You've still got no point, and you'd still be a poser.

BLKCLK550

last time i checked my car came with amg wheels amg front and rear, the only thing i am missing is the quad exaust which will be done in few weeks... i guess i will be a proud poser.

LB63

To me there is a difference between badging your car to look like the more upscale model and badging it to a lower model to win a race by catching them off-guard.
