Official Poser Sighting Thread
 

I searched the forums and it seems that no one started an official poser sighting thread. Lets make this a sticky! The theme will be "No Motor, no Badge!"

Sighting #1 - E350 with AMG Badges and star grill.

There's an abundance of AMG posers on our small island. Here are a couple of pictures of the Limited Edition E55 w/dual exhaust, 5-spoke AMG wheel caught in the rain a couple of weeks ago. Pardon the poor picture quality.

I actually saw a Honda Civic hatchback and a old W123(?) wagon with AMG badges, but they escaped before I could get my phone out.

lol who does that?

Found this right here on MBWorld. https://mbworld.org/forums/3599299-post928.html
(the fender badges aren't even in the right spot; too high and too close to the door.....) :y

Almost every day, I see a E530 badget AMG on my way to work.
I think it should be E350 but they just badget it wrong........ dont wanna take the picture cause what if he is also in this forum...

it is AMG PACKAGE... so what is the problem??

I think it's because he sees it as the same as putting on a M3 badge on the back a 330i with the M sports package. 330i is not the same engine, car, as a M3 etc... AMG sports style package car doesn't come with a rear AMG badge. Or an AMG motor.

The poster was also being facetious. "Limited edition E55"

is it posing that MB stocks the GL550 with AMG-branded rims? I love the rims but not sure why they etched AMG onto them...oh well, they're not going anywhere.

LOL, Twice I have seen a Black AMG badged E350 on the 5 freeway south OC around the Crown Valley exit. :rolleyes:

330I(m-package) with a ///M3 badge is posing

330I(m-package) with a ///M bagde is not posing

likewise

E350(amg package) with a E55 AMG +v8 kompressor badges is posing

E350(amg package) with an amg badge is not posing

MY OPINION

No, it's the "sport" package. The only way to get the "AMG" package is to actually buy an AMG. No car has EVER come from the factory with an AMG badge that wasn't a true AMG. People might tell you that it did, but somewhere between Affalterbach and their garage it was added on. Having AMG wheels from the factory is quite different than badging the vehicle an AMG when it isn't.

And also the car in the pic has an E55 badge in addition to the AMG badge..........

Actually i have seen alot of e-class with "sport" on the fender molding and no AMG bumpers.... so sport does not mean ang bumpers....

i cant see it that clearly, but now that you metion it, the one on the right does look like it says e55... So I do condsider that posing....

Having an AMG badge without it being put on by the Affalterbach factory is posing. AMG badges are reserved for AMG cars that come from Affalterbach with the AMG engine, brakes, suspension, body kit, interior add-ons, etc.

Putting on an AMG badge along with AMG parts such as rims or body kit does not make a non-AMG car into an AMG car. An AMG car is a complete car, not just a few add-ons here and there.

Wearing an Italian suite does not make me Italian and putting on AMG parts on a non-AMG car does not make an AMG car :smash:

It should. Sounds like an additional level of posing to me. The bottom line is that no car ever came with "AMG" on the trunk lid that wasn't a true AMG. It's kind of like those idiots that put the fake fender vents on their Tahoe in the hope you'll mistake it for an Escalade. :smash: That's all we need to know.

Still doesnt explain why MB puts AMG-branded rims on my non-AMG car. I certainly didnt put those rims on...dont disagree with you, just wondering why they did that.

So they can charge an arm and a leg for AMG branded parts.

TopEnd,

I've participated in these discussions past the point of caring anymore - but I just want to let you know that a while back this issue of AMG badging non-AMG cars - and someone had gotten a response directly from AMG: The ONLY cars AMG puts their badge on are FULL AMG cars. In order to be an AMG, the car must be a complete AMG vehicle, including the entire drivetrain/etc. AMG is much more than a set of wheels and a body kit.

This was from AMG directly, so opinion or not, it's AMG's stance.

-m

Was driving thru Calabasas Saturday & noticed this...
 

@ 1st I thought "Oh nicely modded SL?" then upon closer drive-by I noticed AMG trunk badging on far left w/nothing on right, regular Single tip exhaust /Mosquito sized Calipers/rotors:rolleyes: it was 105 Deg out w/his top-dwn:rolf: he thought he was straight PIMPIN'

I snapped these pix, then pointed @ his SL & shook my head as I rolled down my window & extended my arm out giving a big Thumbs-Down. He then rolled up his windows & dropped back behind my SL hiding, & wouldn't get near me:D

I was that someone at the AMG Private Lounge and yes, everything you said was confirmed. No car ever left Affalterbach with the badge if it wasn't the real thing. For "sport" optioned cars and the GL550, MB sources the AMG wheels for some models to set them apart from the "plain" MB's, not because they are trying to fool the customer. From a product liability and marketing standpoint you couldn't really expect them to offer some other aftermarket wheels.

Yeah, there's no issue there. If you buy a factory MB and leave it OEM and it happens to have come with AMG wheels because it was part of MB sport package marketing, then that's just the way it is. BMW does it too. The 3ers with sport package have a lot of M labels (on the wheels, etc.., but no rear M badge)

When people start to play with badges just to make their car look like something it's not and just to get attention, that's where it gets weird, imho.

Same people who buy counterfeit watches, bags, shoes, etc.. Hey, look at my Alden labeled cordovan shoes. Yeah, I know they aren't really Aldens and they aren't made of Horween cordovan leather but maybe nobody will know and it makes me look cool. :nix:

AHAHAHA LOL!!! Hilarious...

I floss and errreeyyyythaanng but not in 105 degree weather. :D

Straight pimpin' lol...

You can always upgrade your rims when you buy the car new in dealer.
Upgrade to AMG rims might cost a lot...

I'm going to the track next week and am putting on E350 badges. Is that posing? What if I keep the AMG badges on? :)

[

when they come out the factory with m front and rear bumpers and m spec wheel, Bmw refers to this package as the m-package. So it never really bothers me if someone with a m-package puts a ///M badge on their car.....
And an e500/e320/e350/e550 with amg bumpers with an amg badge doesn't really bother me either, really not sure why mercedes didn't designate a specific name for this package...

now what pisses me off is when I see a e55ore63 badge on a e-class, because if the poser decides to press (for example) with a 545i, when the 545i walks him down, he's going to go to all his bimmer friends and claim that the e55ore63 that he raced was slow.... that type of posing makes it bad for real e55ore63 owners....[/QUOTE]

I seen some dominican kid up in Harlem sporting S500clk combo badges on a old school SEL . When u dont know u dont KNOW !!

So...
last night my wife sends me out to Target to pick up a few household items.
I park kinda off in the distance by myself as i normally do. When I came out of the store I see someone went WAY out of their way to park next to me. From the distance I could tell it was also an E class and could see the quad tips on the back.
As I started to get closer to it I notice something doesnt quite look right about it. Tips on back were kinda off, wheels looked kinda thin, suspension seemed a little high, but it was badged as e55 AMG.
When i get to my car this guy gets out of his E class and starts talking to me. I usually dont mind striking up conversation, but by this point I realized this was NO e55 and was itching to call him out. I was pretty sure it was an e320.
He starts asking about my ride and i was happy to give him the grand tour around the vehicle. I then start checking his car out and he then tells me its NOT an e55 though he had it badged that way.
I asked him why...he replied, why not?
I was trying to be as nice as possible cause I didnt want to start something with him. He seemed genuinly nice and I had to spend about 5 minutes explaining to him why he shouldnt do that. Makes the rest of us AMG's look bad when he looses a race for trying to pose.
Long and short was I left on a freindly note, but must say it is dissappointing seeing every other E class out there with AMG badges not being legit. I hope i got through to him and he removes the e55 part atleast.
So I goto leave and let him hear what a REAL AMG sounds like.
I wish I had taken some pics, but didnt want to do it since he was right there.
I really hate the AMG posers! Makes us all look really bad!

:y

Good Call

Similar story, at the theater last weekend. Silver CLS with rear AMG badge and the CLS badge minus the 500 (in all honesty, a very nice looking CLS w\sport body kit, just not an AMG)...<and no pics of it :nix:>

The world is too small to make enemies...next time the car is sitting out in the open, there is always the <possible> ridiculed jerk that messes with the ride. :crazy:

[/QUOTE]

They did, it's called the "Sport" package. And it comes complete with a "Sport" badge on the trim of the front fender (above which the real "V8 Kompressor" would go).

You even floss while racing. :p: :rolf:

:rolf:

Two birds, one stone ya digg?? :D

In North County San Diego:

1. Black E320 poser driving through Rancho Santa Fe
2. Black E320 WAGON poser driving through Olivenhain - it looked way too high and the wheel/tires were pretty skinny and that was the first clue.
3. Black E320 with bolt-on quad exhaust tips not really posing, but perhaps in the process of ordering AMG and E55 emblems :nix:

akademiks,

Not trying to go back and forth with you, honestly its a very interesting topic(as i am new to owning a mercedes). However like I said before, I've seen many w211 with "sport" on the fender molding without amg bumpers and steering shifters... So I'm confused are there 2 kinds of sport?

There are 4 kinds of body kits with Original Mercedes.
- Classic
- Sport, Sport Emblent on the side fender, bumper similar to Classic.
- AMG pakg, Front and Rear bumper is same as E55, no side skirt, Dual exhaust Not Quad Exhaust, Sport Emblent on the side fender.
- E55 AMG

Oh geez!
Came across another one today. I was in a REALLy big hurry to get home but had to stop at the grocery before doing so and what do I see up front. What appeared to be an e55. As I started walking by the front of it something didnt look right. Not sure how I immediatly spotted the phony AMG but something was wrong with its stance. Then I notice the side markers were REALLy high and out of place.
I ran into the grocery and ran back out but thought to myself I wanted to walk behind it on the way out to get a second look.
The owner was at the car loading his bags. I look at the exhaust tips and notice the phony quad tips on the back of what appears to be a regualr E bumper. These were DEFINETLY FAKE tips. you could see the Y shaped tips coming off a single outlet going to the duals on each side. This car sat REALLy high. like a e320 or something. Not gonna comment on his race, kinda irrelevant, but as I walk by I said to the owner, nice e55(being sarcastic) and shake my head as I walk by. Hes like "Thanks!" Obviously not clueing into te fact hes been called out on his phony ride. I get back to mine and start pulling out and come up directly behind him and snap this photo. Sorry for the crummy photo from my cell phone. He had some kinda temp tags on it. I really hope he was SOOO STUPID to buy this thinking its a real AMG. Who knows.
But take a look at this thing. As I am snapping the photo he notices me in a real AMG and just waves.
Another frickin poser in Northern VA!

With AMGS plumeting anyone can get one now. It's lost all status too me.
I am seeing guys coming in this forum getting out of camerys and right into amgs.
For me, its started with a C240 back in 01 and I worked my way UP the ladder.
Then when I had my C32, they put out the C230K Sport with the AMG kit and I wanted to die.
Get a Porshce GT3 or a F car if ya want to think your car is unique, otherwise it's a Mercedes.
I sold some of my extra RENNTECH and AMG badges to ebay guys ready to pose.
I think it's funny, it's fun to sweep attack them on Hi-way.

Nice rims BTW !!! and smoked tail light..... :rolf::rolf::rolf:

Funny. For years, I've been removing the badges and was happy when the technology moved from metal on studs to plastic with trim-tape. All except the 300d I had.

Here's a funny one on eBay Item number: 170358012482

He's offering codes to change the Command display to show AMG.

All you have to do is search this site and find it for free, I guess there are suckers born all the time.

They're everywherehttp://farm3.static.flickr.com/2558/...4e92f4.jpg?v=0

today during a meet in Virginia, there was a random car parked.. E500 with brabus stickers all around and looked to me replica wheels

See, that's the problem though. You've just (unintentionally) justified his fake purchase. He can now go home believing he's fooling the world while saving 50K, all thanks to your compliment! :D

maybe, but if he clued in looking at me I was shaking my head "NO NO" the whole time I was complimenting. I just think he was too dumb to notice.

The fact he's a moron is evident from his crummy 350 badged as a 55AMG. :rolf:

+1000:rolf::rolf::rolf:

Thats exactly what I understand...
But everione here is saying that the AMG package does not exist

I don't think anybody has said that. fwiw, I owned an E350 with the AMG package. It's the only way it came in the US last year. But no AMG label on the rear and no side fender badging. Again, just like the 3ers with sport package: small M logos on wheels, steering wheel, but no obvious M3 badging like in a true M with the M works motor.

But this thread is about putting on their own AMG badges to fool people, not what comes from the factory.

What's so hard to understand? :nix:

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

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?

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

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?

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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."

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).

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.

I would call it a sleeper too.

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. :loser:

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. :slap:

thanks for the clear up

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

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.

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.

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.

I guess you will-- we just might see a pic of your car in this thread. :y

Ok, so let me get this straight, you're going to pay a premium for a higher-end vehicle only to rebadge it to look like a base model-- so you can get more people to race you? :crazy:

And in any event, Blkclk550's CLK550 is a lower model, which he plans to rebadge as the higher model CLK55; simple performance numbers hardly equate a standard model CLK to the AMG level. If that were the case you could buy yourself a CLK320, mod it, beat even the Black Series and call it a day-- but it still wouldn't give you the justification to rebadge your CLK320 as a Black Series.

Even still, performance figures be damned, I will take a CLK55 any day of the week over a CLK550.

dude same engine same car besides a few tweaks from AMG in an older model.... you cant compare a 320 to a black series because in no way it is the same car besides the name clk.... where clk55 and 550 are basically the exact same car just not tuned by amg. I am against E350 rebadged to E55 amg because the engins are not the same and HP difference is about 2times. I bet if i pulled up in my 550 debadged as a 55 amg you wouldn't even be able to spot it unless you look at the seats and the dash board.

:popcorn::popcorn:

You'd be wrong. I have a keen eye when it comes to cars-- I'd be able to tell your CLK is a fake from your standard brakes-- nevermind your seats and dash.

And even if I couldn't tell the difference-- would it make you happier knowing that you've fooled someone into believing you paid more your car then you really did?

And for the record, CLK320 is just as different from a CLK55 as is your CLK550-- it's a different model, period; yes it might share parts, but so do a Gallardo and an R8.

The simple fact of the matter is, if AMG wanted their badge on your CLK550, your car would've came with them. It doesn't matter how similar it is, and how many people you can fool-- you're still posing.

poser central
 

For all of the posers and wannabe out there - eBay is your source for badges. They have them all so you can put that V-12 Biturbo badge on your C300 and the world will think you're kool.

Just do a search for "Mercedes Benz Truck Emblem Badge" and throw in AMG, E63, or other details and you too, can become the koolest dude in town. :rolf:

:rolf: :rolf:

Hey, wtf doode, the C300 and SL65 are pretty much the same. They have seats and a steering wheel-- and even the 3-point star! I say to hell with it, they're all pretty much the same. :y


:rolleyes:

Einstein, just fess up. You want to stick an AMG badge on there for the prestige and coolness factor. That's okay, but just be honest.

If you think you are doing it to attract people to race you, that makes zero sense. Most people who are going to race you, know what AMG is all about and they won't be racing you unless they have something they know they can win with. Meaning a lot faster than your 550. And what, you think people who might know the specs of a CLK55 are going to line up like drunks at a keg just to race you?

Yeah, okay, then badge it even lower and race baboons in Accords. :nix:

I don't get your excuse. It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever and you know it.

Let's be honest, here.

Better yet take it to the track where nobody cares what badges you've got, only your slips.

This is absolutely ridiculous.

Yes, the 550 is faster than the 55. But then wear those 550 badges proudly and smoke NON AMG cars to show em whose boss! Dont re-badge your ***** for the sake of confusing others.

Look, before he blew the engine, my friend drove the fastest BMW 330ci in all of North America. You know what he did? He blacked out his 330ci badges so they would STAND OUT EVEN MORE against his white car. Why? Because he was proud of what he was driving and the fact that even though it wasn't an M3, it could smoke pretty much anything on the road.

So who cares, if you drive a E320 or a fukin SL65 Black Series, rock it proudly and make it your own. But as soon as a different badge hits that decklid, you're trying to be something you are not. Poser or not, thats just pathetic.

ROFL! Glad I did not have coffee in my mouth when I read that! :rolf:

I have to wonder - if it's kuel to have one AMG badge on the trunk why not two or three? Maybe some on the front fenders too. If you really want to impress people, go to Home Depot and get the letters in 6" brass and attach them to the trunklid. Throw in some neon in the fender wells, and you've got it made. :rolf:

But the ULTIMATE badge is the Domino's delivery that you put on the roof. Nothing says kuel like Domino's Delivery!

:y There's no point to any of this except for a weird kind of insecurity or something. :nix:

Poser's = no class:X:X:X

:rolf:

Haha, I will be having a plethora of Fast N' Furious noobs testing the might of my 550 errr 55 bwahahahaha bow down to my brass badges :bow: :bow: I want badges and fock it even decals on the side of my car too so no matter which you angle you see my car from, you know I mean bizness!!! My car will be the ultimate kewl

last time i checked 09 clk550 cost more than 2007 clk55 amg lol so i guess i payed more. Im gonn go pretend im a clk55 amg while my car has the same engine same body style and more Hp from the factory....
and dont even bother with your stupid analogy c300 and c63 AMg they only have same body, engines are no the same.

When im done by poser transformation i will be more than happy to send you a picture so you can point out what will give it away from a clk55.

The point is, what's your point?

Can someone tell me where I can buy a "Powered By VTEC" wind shield sticker?:y:y

point is that rebadging clk550 to clk55 ///AMG is not poser.

Yes. It is.

yeah it is so i decided to rebadge to CLK350 :naughty:

Wow, you're dense. I've always wondered what the posers' mindset is, and thanks to your posts, I know.

now you know funny how fast people lable someone as a poser

if you lable me as a poser in the same category as person that rebadges
a E350 to a E55 AMG then you are blind.

There are varying degrees of "poser-dom," but you're still a poser. If you wanted the CLK55, you should have bought it. CLK550 and CLK55 are two different cars; just like an E320 and E55 are two different cars.

BLKCLK550- badging your car as an AMG when it is not (even if it is faster) is :loser:

People who know AMG know it is more than just a badge and having the biggest engine. It's the engine, brakes, suspension, and cosmetic changes. Don't badge your car an AMG unless it came that way from the factory.

That's my point, badging your car to a higher model is due to insecurity, i.e. trying garner prestige and attention for driving the top of the line model.

However I think downgrading the badge is not as offensive because the person is trying to be unassuming/understated with the lower classed badge.

It is true though that both are technically posing.

lol i think the only thing i am missing to bea true CLK55 amg is the brakes and the quad exaust.

And an actual CLK55.

please explain my poser self does not understand what you mean by that.

You are not Mercedes or AMG. Just because you bolt on [what you believe] are the missing parts between your car and a real AMG, does not in fact make your car an AMG.

So, you can buy the brakes, the seats, the quad exhaust, etc. -- it's still not a CLK55. Just like if I go out and buy a bunch of Ferrari parts and put them together -- it's not a Ferrari.

oh i got you... so if i buy a Ferrari shell and all ferrari parts and put it together.
it's not a ferrari since it was not put together by a Ferrari ok i got you.

Precisely. Because it wasnt built BY Ferrari. It would be built by you.

Same applies to your 550. It was built by Mercedes, NOT by AMG. You do understand that AMG has its own factory in Affalterbach, yes? Every AMG car comes OUT of that factory.

Yours did not.

Bah so Brabus is poser since they modify Mercedes cars???
you undesrand that AMG was not a part of mercedes it was a company by itself and then they signed a contract. So if i make a better car than AMG did using amg parts im a poser?

Brabus does not put an AMG badge on their cars, they use their own badge.

If you make your car faster than an AMG you can badge it with "Powered by Johnny" or "Mikey-Tech" or whatever but it does not qualify for an AMG badge unless it came like that from the factory.

lol so if my car has all amg parts and amg tuned engine i am still not amg lmaof you guys are ****ing ignorant.

Mercedes already bought AMG has their tune division years ago. And each AMG car has their model. If you put Brabus parts and badge it as Brabus then its fine. Some people has Kleemann tune and put Kleemann badge. But AMG is like a model of a particular car.

When you get all those AMG parts let us know, until then have fun with your CLK550 AMG :smash:

No Einstein, what I am saying is "what's your point?" Why are you doing this dog and pony show in the first place? Your "racing" excuse has no rationale.

I'll say it again: The point is, what's your point?

You not exactly living up to your avatar there, Sparky.

ps, Sparky, you've now gone from poser to a PITA troll.

I'm outta here......

Ya, this "what if I did..." is getting ridiculous. We're not talking about particle physics to warrant all these Thought Experiments to determine what is and what is not an AMG.

As AMG stated, they put the badges on the AMG vehicles they built, no one else. End of story.

Any 09 model should cost more than the older model, kind of how the world turns. Since you are running a 550 you should be comparing yourself to a 63 not a 55 and use their numbers accordingly. I am pretty sure Mercedes replaced the 500 with the 550 the same year AMG replaced the 55 with the 63.

I drive a slow ass 500 and I could care less...:zoom:

The CLK sections calling-- they want their idiot back. :slap:

I really don't know why I, or whomever else is arguing with you is even doing so to begin with, you are simply the exact opposite of your avatar. I can't believe you actually, really, genuinely don't believe you are a poser. It's hilarious-- as Litigator said, you've given us some insight as to the thought process involved in posing.

Maybe I should get 65 badges and stick it on the rear on my car-- hey, I gotta freakkin' V12 why the hell not? :rolleyes:

Please...I can't believe I wasted the last 15 minutes of my life.

Anyway, all this is getting boring. There are too many out there.

I used to own CLK 500, and I could careless about AMG or not...yes, I had AMG appearance, but for me...I dont think I am going to put AMG badge on my car..reason? Not sure, but I dont feel like being called a poser...ultimately, I dont think CLK 550 got the AMG tuned suspension, Brakes, Exhaust, Interior, Air Intake??, Speedometer (Dial), exhaust note.

but hey, that's just what I felt :nix:

I've seen that pos plenty of times.

And the 55 engine, and the suspension, and the interior, and...

Yes- it really is. I have an 05 4matic e500 and an 05 e55. I like each car for what they are. I wouldn't rebadge either for the other. You are both a poser and either extremely ignorant or trolling by acting like you don't know why anyone is calling you out.

Hmmm, this guy on eBay keeps insisting his car is an actual AMG (?) Is it? Or is it not? I guess only his mechanic knows for sure. Or maybe it's a rare version I've never heard of before.

I cannot believe the debate on fake badging still continues. It's a clear separation on what an AMG and N/A MB's are.

:thread:

You can always try and register your car at the AMG Private Lounge and then...................No wait!!! You can't register because you don't own an AMG. :rolf:

Nothing wrong with owning a CLK 550. Just dont put an AMG badge on it since it didnt come that way.
And by adding the AMG and dropping the "0" from your badge is posing and doesnt make you an AMG, even if technically by numbers its faster then the older model. Anyone looking at your newer model is gonna say. They didnt even make the CLK 55 in that year. It became a CLK 63 , so a pose is a pose and you my freind would be posing!

:rolf::rolf::rolf::rolf::rolf::rolf:

Passed this on hte Merritt parkway in CT tonight
The right badge was the AMG badge

Is there really a AMG private lounge?

Yup...

http://www.mercedes-amg.com/privatel...n_external.php

Thanks,I was able to register :)

Sweet, me too!

I have seen so many AMG posers that I could probably take up a whole page of pics, if I had taken pics. I may start doing so as a hobby.

Why is the lounge not open to non-americans ? :confused:

Because since the AMG factory is in Europe, AMG cars in the US are not "real" AMG cars since they are not in their homeland. I guess, in a way, we are posers.



j/k

It's a VIN thing.

Que faites-vous a Bruges? J'ai vecu longtemps a Bruxelles.

i saw a Chrysler Sebring with Mercedes Grill wtf! **** looked so ghey.

Saw an E350 rebadged E500 yesterday. That was sneaky

Why would anyone do that?? How can you tell it was an e350 and not an e500...I know its pretty easy to spot a fake E55/E63 but e500?

It's been a rough month in Chicago:

Poseur 3: "CL55 AMG" V8 Kompressor badges, CL55 badging, TWO tailpipes. :eek:

http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d1...oX/Poseur5.jpg

Weaksauce, all of them. I didn't get a pic of the C23 AMG, but he got a taste of the longtubes, I assure you all.....:X

The CL55 could've been the 2000 model. Don't know which exactly, but the earlier CLs (AMGs) only came with two pipes.

No problem with the earlier models, just the "V8 Kompressor" badging on them.....:y

It's a nice car, supercharger or not....leave it the F alone, IMO.

CLK 55
 

This guy doesn't even know where to put the emblems correctly. :smash::smash::smash: Note the V8 emblem on the trunk lid. Note the ///AMG 55 on the lower portion of passerger side front fender.

The 2000, 2001, 2002 comes with dual pipe and without V8 Kompre...
2003, 2004 + comes with Supercharger therefore Quad exhaust and with V8 Kompre...

This might be a real CLK55 AMG. It comes with Dual Exhaust compare to no AMG only 1 pipe.

Yeah, i thought the same thing at first. Look at the rear calipers and rotors. Are those CLK55? No drilled rotors, and AMG calipers.

Either way...tacky emblems usage IMHO...specially the AMG 55 on the front fender. to each his own, i guess. :crazy: :crazy:

+1
Massive fail on the various badge placements, but I'm not sure that's not a real '03-'04 AMG with the dual exhaust and what appears to be AMG calipers. '05 went to the quad tailpipes for one year until the coupe was discontinued; don't know exactly when the non-AMG CLK went to dual exhaust.

That "CL55" has the 2003+ tail lights so it should have had quad exhaust tips if it were a real CL55. I have to say it's a 2003+ non-AMG poser.

Isn't it also a BMW Z3?

Saw a 07 C230 with stock wheels posing as a C55 AMG in las vegas......he even painted his brake calibers red

I cant take the crdit for the pic, a member on my BMW forum posted it, but i felt it was better suited here.. BTW, it was a chick driving.. :smash::slap:

This is the best! Owner probably did it to put a smile on everyone's face. after all, owning a Mercedes is a dream for many people who many never achieve it. I feel grateful to drive one daily. Especially an AMG!

Ah, but you get credit for posting it here, my friend! It is the best!

If it floats your boat, just don't put the badges on if you don't have the parts to back it up e.g. Kleeman badge with Kleeman parts, Renntech badge with Renntech parts, etc.

Hehe. Then you'll appreciate this also (there's bound to be a poser somewhere in those pictures):

I run into posers in Costa Mesa all day long
 

Time to post up some of the daily posers I see in Orange County. It has become a real problem over here, every time I go to Fletcher Jones I see at least 3 of these douche's.

Is that a real SL600 or a fake?

You wouldn't believe me but 15 years ago there was never traffic along the A7 (from the first picture), even during July/August. It's amazing how that has changed.

Many evenings were spent strolling down Puerto Banus. Such a gem that place is for car and boat lovers... easily one of the best small spots in the world to find amazing cars. Unfortunately a lot of the British hooligans have found there way down there these days...

Good question.... if i have a SL600 I wouldnt put AMG logo...... Its the 600 !!! it might be SL500... with SL600 and AMG logo.... so sad....

Just consider the source. My son calls them Fakesus. :) While they have made huge strides, it's still a matter of copycat engineering. The real Japanese masters were at Honda, but that corporate culture has changed. The old man must be doing a rotisserie in his grave.

OK, here's another one. Sorry for the horrible picture quality. A W209 "CLK32 AMG" with sticker fender vents (couldn't get a side pic).

https://mbworld.org/forums/members/s...mg-poser-3.jpg

Yesterday I saw a silver "CLS55" AMG with dual exhaust and crooked V8 Kompressor badges on the fender going from Weir Canyon onto the 91 West. I blew by him on the onramp so he can hear what a real AMG sounds like. Then I got in the slow lane to wait for him to pass by but he stayed way back there.

Today on 91 east I see a red C350 AMG with chrome strips all over the car and a handicap license plate weaving in and out of traffic. Fortunately he got off Weir Canyon and I had the chance to downshift and let him hear the 6.3 roar as I drove by with the thumbs-down sign.

Fresh from this morning's commute:

http://www.mikekantor.com/forums/IMAGE_068.jpg

I saw a black c230 yesterday w/c32 amg badges on the back. As a former owner of two- I could tell something was off right away while behind the car. No body kit, not wide enough, and the wheels didn't look right. When I rolled alongside- it was confirmed. The guy inside was pimping big time when I rolled by. This is in Alexandria, VA area. I didn't get a pic because my damned iphone was locked.

Sorry its hard to see, crappy camera phone. S500 AMG.

W221 "S63" --
S63 and AMG trunk badges - crooked 6.3 amg on fenders - single exhaust tip on each side (two total) ala S550 mode.....

OMFG. What is up with badging a W203 with CLK240 or CLK320. I have seen 2 of them around town.:crazy:

YEAH dude, it seriously made me laugh!:smash::rolf:

Ok sooo after seeing the Cavy with the S500 and Benz badge I just now have to tell the story. I was driving down the road one day and infront of me in a Kia Rio ae 2 teen girls. On the car over the Kia signs are Benz emblims. They pull into a HS at a bus loop to pick there friends up. I follow the girls into the loop. They stop the car. I get out and knock on the window. The girl is like scared as can be. I go to her

"You do realize what kind of car you are driving right?" she goes "umm idk my dad got it. I go "Well its a ****ing Kia!!!! Take off those MB badges. You dont drive one. "My dad put them on for me" I go "Well untill you can actually buy one take them off. You poser. It is an insult to people who can afford the real thing"

Gods honest truth. This happined about 2 months ago. No camera otherwise Id snap a pic of the KIA RIO MERCEDES :)

They also do AMG badges on some cars with AMG looks. Our 2002 E320 came with an AMG badge because well.......Thats what it came as when we got from the dealer.

Pretty funny...a Kia with MB badges...but that's pretty lame of you if you actually did that/said that.

OH DAMN! that was hella mean dude, u really did that? lol
sheesh..i would've just laughed, i wouldn't actually confront them about it lol but thats just me, funny ass mean story nonetheless!:rolf:

You're a d!ck.

So, I guess if I pulled up to you at a stoplight and said "Next time you can afford a Mercedes better than what I gave my nanny..." that'd be cool?

No, it wouldn't. Sometimes people don't buy the most car they can afford. Maybe the kia is perfect for a teenage girl. My son is getting a damn Honda Civic.

That's just no right! If you ask me it's guys like you who give us the bad name not the poser's. Poor girl, driving along with her car which was gifted by her dad and some jerk off pulls along side and starts talking trash :smash:!!!!

oh dang eviill hahahah like i said, if i were to see someone in a kia all benz'ed out..id just laugh to my self *shruggs* then move on with it and life goes on lol

lol. Dude you straight punked that little girl! Seriously though, that was too harsh imo and you probably gave her a heart attack. It makes you sound like you are conceded and that all you care is about is money and status. I would apologize if you truly had balls if you ever see her again because that was not cool. Keep up the good work guys revealing these posers they need to be exposed!

WOW! That makes you a REAL man...errr douchebag. I wish one of them would have maced or tased you. The KIA didn't cose much less than your c280.

LOL +1 Guy drives a C280 and thinks it's a real MB and then yells at some poor little girl whos dad thried to make her happy. You are lucky it was not my daughter you insulted you little wanker!

Oh and by the way.....everything in your list of owned or previous owned is MB poser junk! LOL

oh man, backfire on C280_Sport! although I really don't agree with putting MB emblems on a Kia and I would definitely make fun of it, I wouldn't have followed her and chewed her out. that's pretty damn dick.

this weekend, I saw this white S-Class parking on Sawtelle and it had "S63 AMG" on the rear and the 6.3AMG's on the side. it also had a license plate that said "prodcr" or something. I saw this douchebag get out of it to feed the meters and I noticed the brakes... he had normal brakes and single dual exhausts. it was a re-badged S550 with the AMG package. I walked past him and said "nice S550."

LOL...now that is funny! At least you didnt stalk some little girl!:crazy:

I just saw a S550 with AMG badge on the trunk. Wonder if they come like that from the factory.

Here in sunny Ohio....they do if they have the AMG sport pkg.

You're a straight up tool :smash: It would've been a truly hilarious story if her 16-17 yr old BF kicked your ass in that HS parking lot for stalking/freaking out his GF:slap::rolf:

Holy crap!!!!!!!!!! I almost shiat myself!:rolf:

I felt a sleep and then woke up while waiting for that M3 to come up. wtf!?

I have seen more E350 AMG badged cars in So Cal in the past few weeks than any other poser-perhaps because I look out for them. Just a shame, unfortunate that I was not in my genuine AMG at the time.

do you live around Glendale/Burbank?

that's the CAPITAL of posers. everytime I'm there, I always, always see poser cars.

:slap: You're an EFFING DOUCHEBAG, that story isn't funny; it's sad. The logos were probably a joke, especially if they were placed OVER the Kia logos.

Poor girl. Talk sh*t to the next ADULT you see posing with fake AMG logos, not some defenseless 16yr old girl. Actually followed her into a parking lot?

Driving a C280 Sport and lecturing teenie-bopper girls about AMGs??

DOUCHE :slap:

Then they're posers. ONLY properly AMG equipped cars come with the badges.

I can't believe the myth survives. If your E320 came with AMG badges, then your dealer added them and is the poser.

It does NOT come from the factory with AMG badges unless it is a true AMG. Think engine.

If you'd confronted my daughter in that manner my response would have been, how shall I say...disproportionate...

(I took it from another forum. Kinda hilarious. Apparently a 55-60 year old guy was driving it.)

Just the turbo badge with the Porsche design? That Camry might had Turbo kit, not that unusual. Volvo guys love to put Porsche design Turbo badges on their bricks.

Although I didn't look under that hood; I'm 99% sure that it did not have a turbo.

True story- I took all the emblems off the 55 the other day, and I'm cruising back from DC on 395 at 60mph in the right lane, and I notice a car staying behind me in the middle lane on my left QP- like he's staring at my car, he's driving a EVO9. He pulls up next to me and starts making fun of the car, screaming out "FAKE AMG! HAHAHAHA" and tries to pull on me... ;-) You know what happened... I lost sight of him by 80mph, outta sight at 120. I slow down back to 60mph and let him catch up... I just wave and smile. =P I put my window down and yell - "Nice Car!"

this is just a clk 430 with a amg package . when i first got a clk back in 2001 that is how they came from the dealer with the amg wheels and body kit . always had the amg on the back

:rolf: :rolf: :rolf: Did you de badge your car in hopes to trap people into racing you? :naughty: :X

Any mercedes that is not an AMG car should not have an AMG badge, Period. My CLK 500 had an AMG "package" but I would have been a total poser to put an AMG badge on the trunk.

Just curious, what is the Factory official word when the Dealer puts an AMG badge on a non AMG car? Do they just turn a blind eye or is this practice something the manufacture endorses?

I went to an exclusive golf country club in Hawaii. Members only. $28,000 for initiation + monthly fees. I got invited from a friend to golf and see this beauty. ML550 AMG?!?!?

Poser at Mil. Town Center Shopping Center I see? God I miss Oahu. I don't like to snap pictures of posers when they're nearby because they might actually think I'm digging their genuine ride.

Haha...no I'm not! It's just that her car is so BLATANTLY WRONG and I see her at least once a week on the way home from work! :smash:

I doubt she did that to the car cause she's much older. I'm gonna take a pic next time I see her! Now that I have tint, she won't see me doing it. :D:rolf:

We bought our first house a year ago and within a month of moving in one of the neighbors noticed my AMG and told the other neighbors that it's an expensive car.

Now, two weeks ago that person has a CL55 AMG sitting in their driveway. I noticed it doesn't have quad exhaust pipes, no AMG body kit, no AMG brakes, and no "V8 Kompressor" badge on the side of the car. Just the "CL55" and "AMG" badge on the trunk.

I'm waiting for them to come by and tell me about their AMG so I can "talk to" (educate) them about their new car.

I bet you are going to pull up to her at a light, roll down your window and say...

:rolf: JK

I got a hand-me-down 280E years ago from my brother who liked to fix up cars. He had an aftermarket rear deck spoiler that had AMG wording already etched on there. I don't want to give any false information, but I think the spoiler came from one of the big MB tuners. Maybe it really was by AMG before Mercedes purchased the company? This was back in the '90s.

This thread is great but what about finding out where the most posers are? I swear in Tracy, Ca there has to be the most. The little time I have been there I have seen two CLS 350 AMG's, A CLS 550 AMG, a couple E350 AMG (seems to be the most common), SL550 AMG (in fact he was at the shop looking at my E55 and the owners E63 so he was aware he was posing), but the best is this S430 AMG with quad exhaust that wouldn't pass my car as we stopped at a light. I know there were a couple others I just can't remember.

So for a population of 82,000 I have seen at least a dozen posers, all squeezed in 21 square miles. It must be a club out here to be a douche!

I'll tell her Max H. sent me...and he wants a date! LOL JK! :p:

Coming off the 101 at Balboa this morning, the ultra rare S550 AMG.

http://i49.tinypic.com/jpu6tz.jpg

Too true, I had a CLK430 with AMG package and it had an AMG badge on the back. It came that way from the dealership.

Whether it comes from the dealership that way or not is irrelevant. Remove or be a poser.

Funny how the guy is driving a 08 09 or 10 S550 that cost 3 times as most peoples E55s in this thread but he is the poser!:rolf:

The S550 doesn't cost three times as much, new it costs around $100k compared to $90k for a new E63.

Maybe you should look at who is posting,,,,03,04 and 05 E55s.:smash:

Driving with my wife in our R500.... some guy in a "S63 AMG", 6.3 badges and all... pulls up and looking guido smiles at my wife.... I go on to compliment him on his car, and the fact that his s550 badged as a S63 is missing the quad exhaust and told him eisemann makes the quad exhaust for his fake S63.... that pissed him off really nice.

lol, the fake S63 guys are so funny.

too bad he (the poser S550 in the picture) didn't buy that car new. it may not have plates, but that car looks like it was bought from BH Benz pre-owned. the new facelifted S550's have been out for quite some time and there are tons of them rolling around with BH Benz plates. too bad this guy wasn't one of the people that could afford a facelifted S550 and had to settle with a poser pre-owned S550 AMG.

Doesnt matter who's posting... the idiot that badges his car into something its not is the person at fault here. Why would you badge your car as an AMG when it is not? Just buy an AMG, dont fake it.

Well it is a German car, who was driving it, did he have a shaved head or a tiny mustache?

Oh by the way enjoy watching the beating tonight from the Sharks! :y

E: The point of the thread is exposing the posers. I drive what I do by choice, not because I can't run out and buy a new S65 or Lambo or Ferrari. I know people that drive way nicer cars, but live in their parent's basement and park on the street.

Had to do it! This is from another thread... Taking a pic of a watch sitting in a Benz at the dealership (look at the key) :rolf: Poser written ALL over it

http://photos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos..._4306128_n.jpg

I agree, but I think a poser is more a guy driving a hyundai and putting the benz emblem on the car, not some guy driving a new big body benz....he is hardly a poser.

Why is his watch an hour ahead of the cars? Someone smack him back into reality!

Maybe not from the financial aspect. But if I were to badge my car with Brabus badges, without having 1 Brabus part on the car, it would basically be the same thing. Badge engineering=posing, no matter the brand in question or the product.

:rolf::rolf:Nice catch! Thats probally photo shopped! Big dummie!:slap:

This week on my way to work saw a S500 AMG with quad pipes.
It was still dark out, couldn't take a picture.
Wasn't sure if the S500 comes with quad pipes or not, but they didn't look like OEMs.
Not many posers around my area, usually the real deal. I saw a C300 AMG about a year ago.

As a side note...I had a run in with a S65 back when I had my 6-series. It was dark, didn't know it was a S65 until I got a good look at it's tail pulling away...

I bet he's an accountant or something for a MB dealership and got to roll in whatever he wanted :rolf::rolf: I just saw the watch thread, hilarious!

Seriously....what a tard...I have buddies that sell for MB and they are not allowed to drive shiat! He must think we are all 20yrs old and are falling for his crap!

Posing is not dependent upon the cost or model year of the car, it's dependent upon whether the appropriate badge is on it :smash:

Hey!!!! I'm 20 and I dont fall for anything!!!! :D

Last week I ran across an ML350 with "V8 turbo" on the right side of the tailgate where an AMG badge would go. The left side still had the stock ML350 badge. The V8 badge was off an 55 kompressor car and the turbo badge was from a Porsche. I didn't get too close for a picture as the driver was on his phone and drifting in and out of his lane erratically.

I wish I had pictures and will be on the lookout for it again.

I don't get it....I really don't care how many badges or emblems people put on their cars. They are only fooling themselves. As for me I have taken the badges/emblems off of every car I have bought since they starting using double stick emblem tape to secure them. For me it is just cleaner and easier to wash/wax without them. I know what I drive and don't need to try to impress anyone with a car.

There is always going to be some fool putting AMG, turbo, supercharged, M, etc. badges on their car to try to impress someone. I saw a V-6 2009 Mustang the other day in town with a hood scoop (aftermarket) and they had attached "560 HP" in chrome letters onto the scoop. The car was not even a V-8. I just smiled because he thought he was "all that" driving down the street.

How about this E55 !!! this guy is selling it more expensive because its a AMG ! this should be a E350 and thats why M people race AMG wins because they always race the FAKE one.

I'm sorry - I had to paste the description as it is pure gold.

2 months from now someone is going to come here and post that he just lost to a GS400 with his AMG E55 and wants to know why is motor is different from ours. :nix:

This one takes the cake. What a fool! 62K miles and priced the same as some similar mileage E55's.

WOOOW!! He even has the gaul to put the v8 kompressor on the side..>Jees!!

"6 cylinder for those who dont need to have the V8"....Who the hell does not need the V8???

I will not comment on the Hollywood or Wall street look, ok maybe I will since Wall street is just as much of a joke as this car! Lets focus on the best part and I quote

"The friendly neighbor will not be driving this unique of a car at such a discounted AMG luxury vehicle price. As you can see from the pictures it has the E55 wheels, body"

You mean the neighbor laughing because he has a real AMG, because the add is right no one will be driving suck a UNIQUE car. But the best part, as you can see it has the E55 wheels, body???? :nix:

Did I get screwed or something, I feel ripped off since mine came with tiny 19" SL65 wheels!! Anybody have an extra set of 22" E55 wheels, I need a set of OEM just in case!

I'd love to see some douche buy this and post it up as a new member! :rolf:

I cant believe Autotrader lst him advertise that as an E55! What a scam!

This is very special and Funny add thats why wanna share with AMG team !

I don't think his watch is big enough:D

Vader55,

I was in Ladera Ranch for the past two weeks and saw this same car you mentioned. I just started laughing and shook my head as i drove by...it was probably one of the "Real Housewives of the OC"...

PSSSHHHTTT, you guys haven't seen $H!tt- I saw an e555 amg this morning in Arlington, VA. I was amazed!

That car must be all engine...

Hahaha, I was iphoneless so I couldn't take a picture :(

Guys... it's happened.... I never thought I would be speechless looking at a car that was a poser... but here it is..... Either this guy is the biggest poser in the world or the biggest f***ing idiot in the world...

Yesterday around 5pm in Costco of Chino Hills, I saw a Silver E55 AMG without V8 Kompressor, DualExhaust, no side skirt (with front and rear AMG bumper), not E55 Rims, This must be a regular E class with AMG Appreance Pkg. My god..... it has the E55 AMG logo........
Imagine its a E320 and lose a race to BMW 535 and they claim beat a E55....

Or they lose to a Ford Probe GT... :nix:

Where? That looks like a genuine S55 AMG.

Sarcasm or not ? :rolf:

Ill give the hint No sport package, clip on exhaust, V8 Kompressor, S55, AMG.

Its a 430 or 500.

Yeah that does look like a good imposter of the real deal. It is hard to tell though at that camera angle looking at the body paneling, but it looks like the rockers on the sides are from a s430 or 500, so yeah he is posing.

why go through the length's to pose? :crazy:

hes has stock body kit, no amg bumper that was the first give away.

the v8 kompressor was a bonus ahha.

I pulled right up and let him know whats I thought :v:

I was just kidding, side rockers and bumpers are a dead giveaway.

Seriously SoCal?
 

Now it's being sold up here but it came from BH, seriously I know Cali is broke but Beverly Hills can't afford the real thing?

Tsk tsk I even asked why does it have the badge and I was interrupted that it's the AMG sports package, it's a nice car and the owner before thought it looked good. I then asked why would you as a dealer keep it on when MB says no MB gets the badging unless it's a real AMG? Good question I will bring that up to them. I get they didn't add it but come on!

Two words: Easier Sell

It's easier to sell a car that has AMG when they tell the customer it's for the sports look package.

I would have left him alone, but he floored it as soon as I got behind him. Dude didn't even slow down for the suspension killing railroad crossing, so when I caught up to him at the next light, out came the iPhone...

I really liked this car and it was tastefully done but the e32? He had a amg badge too and honestly I thought it was....I will actually say that his had so much done to it that it could be an AMG car in my mind.

ya know..the "E32 AMG" are very popular here in Capital City, California:rolf:

Debadge FTW.

this is how the older clk's came from the factory when u got the Amg package . Then it was only the ground effects and rims .

E32, haha. What is wrong with a nice e320 with some mods? These posers seem to be in denial and cannot face the fact that they already have a nice car, but have to go the next step and say it is an AMG.

:shakehead

No, they didn't. No engine, no amg badge.

No engine No badge

Wrong !! i owned a brand new 2002 off the dealer floor and this is how it came .

1050.00 a month in 01 got u a amg emblem, rims and a spoiler kit !!!! WTF

I'm sure the dealer was thoughtful enough to put an AMG emblem on a non-AMG car, but it didn't come from the factory that way.

Honestly speaking @ 28 years old walkin into a dealership and buying a clk 430 off the floor do you really think i was concerned with a AMG emblem on the back of the car ?

I think u should call the dealers and complain about their misdeeds lol

Start a petition and request restitution for charging your MB brothers for a emblem !!!!

Malak, don't get your panties in a bunch. Nobody here is saying the AMG badge wasn't on there when you bought the car. What we are saying is that the individual dealer added this on themselves to increase the appeal of the car. This is common, don't worry about it.

No MB rolled out of the factory with an AMG badge on it unless it was a full fledged AMG, engine and all.:zoom:

im not getting my panties in a bunch im just being a d1kk lol :rolf:

Funny how they offered the clk 430 with the so called ""amg " package/ emblem but the following year when i got my e430 sport it was only called a sport package . Maybe i got rooked ?? lol

LOOSER! ;)

Spell check phooolll

That was kind of the point....I don't really think he's a loser.

That one is just silly. Why rebadge an already excellent CL55?

Yeap

The ML55 AMG had two exhaust pipes on either side, so that one is not an AMG.

I have a 2001 S55 AMG - which has only 2 exhaust pipes as well. Only in 2003 did it have 4. The newer sport model S500 also have a similar look, so I hope people who see me don't think I put an S55 on, it's real, but old school! :D

I parked next to this tard specifically for this picture... guess which one's a real AMG.

http://shup.com/Shup/269489/fakeamg.jpg

Is that off of Riverfront in South Jordan?

Awww that sucks they are going to have to buy another AMG badge when they fix that dent. It probably will cost more then the repairs but maybe since they boughgt the car with the badge they are computer savvy and will find a knock off cheap!

Nait: Is your plate crooked? Maybe it's just the angle

Definately a fake...

E320 converted E55
 

E320 4Matic converted to E55 with V8 Kompressor budge, front lip, full body kit ! How they feel when they take the car to do service ? :rolf:

I like the front grill though!

That car is seriously retarded! I offered the guy $5 or a five dollar foot long and we got into a e-mail scuffle. It was funny as hell! He thinks he is going to pawn this off to somebody to buy the real deal when it is not worth that much.

I sent the ebay seller a question about the auction see question and answer below...

QUESTION:-

"Dear survive135,

How do u sell a car badged as an E55 but it's a E320??? What is wrong with you?


- grantwoodtx"

ANSWER:-
"Dear grantwoodtx,

Apparently you dont know about merecedes so stick to your Honda's. However I'll educate you. The E55 is a package which includes an AMG bodykit with wheels this car has, GET IT.

Saw an "E32" W210 but no "AMG" badge today in a parking lot. I didn't bother taking a picture because I thought it was enough that it was in a handicap spot.

WTH possesses people to do that...:shakehead

It's sad it's the new thing and it's called a Scrapper, they knowingly spend more money on the wheels and a lot even do the interior to be ridiculous but seriously they are just idiots and he looked like a bag of douche driving it.

i cant wait until I am spun up enough on AMGs and Mercedes as a whole to participate in this thread!

This might be a real CL55 AMG from 2000 - 2002 which doenst come with Kompressor. Same as the same year S class and only Dual Exhaust

That looks like a real CL55 AMG from 2001 or 2002, they only had quad exhaust and the supercharger in 2003. My S55 has only dual exhaust instead of 4 too, and it's a 2001.

I wonder how many people think I'm not a real AMG because they don't know the 01 S55 had only 2 exhaust! hahaha makes me want to debadge, but the AMG logo is so nice. :D

Here's a Crossfire with 2 AMG badges!

^^^ LOL

LMFAO!!!^^^^^

If it's an SRT6 it has the C32 AMG engine.

@ the smart car. They would have been better off putting a Brabus badge on it.

OMG you gotta check this thing out! I'd have to say this is the biggest poser on this thread. Look at that engine cover :rolf: Shame to all NSX's out there!

It's located in Branson which is only 30 minutes away from me. I should go take a look at this piece of..... art :nix:

The sheer insanity of some people never fails to amaze me. That is just horrible

hey guys, i spotted this on my way to the dealership in long island and saw it in astoria yesterday as well.

i also saw a cls500 just before in the city with the single dual exhausts, no amg body kit, no side emblems that said CLS55. i wanted to say "hey, thats a nice car! imagine how much nice it would have been if it were really a CLS55!"

Beyond words. :smash:

Last week my wife and I were driving and I seen a brand new C Class with E63 badging.

Last week my wife and I were driving and I seen a brand new C Class with E63 badging! I couldn't believe my eyes! I had to keep double checking! Even my wife was like why did he do that? I tried to take a pic but it was an old guy driving really slow!

Oh man.... Speechless

debadged + exhaust

^^ granted its in handicap parking. its not me! lol

That is my E55 in fact, it's in a handicap spot from a HMMWV accident, and it does low 15s in the quarter stock!
