Kept being overtaken by an SLK200 AMG today...
I’d go past it at every roundabout and junction, she’d then fly past me on the dual carriageway until the next junction when I’d go past again.
I expect I was using less fuel and less brake material. Still mines only a V6 and not an AMG...
What, the colour you mean?

MI5 trying to be inconspicuous?
How easy is it to remove these?
I am looking at a W218 CLS 220d which has one of these already on it. Do I ask the dealer to remove it or just do it myself after I buy it (assuming i do). I can just hear the dealer now - but it’s AMG line sir, why would u want to remove it.
If it’s easy enough with a bit of heat and fishing line then I will give it a whirl myself.
Hair dryer to warm them up then just "saw" them off with dental floss, then a bit of IPA to wipe off any remaining adhesive.How easy is it to remove these?

As, Blobcat says, but I would use fishing line, as floss tends to snap quite easily.Hair dryer to warm them up then just "saw" them off with dental floss, then a bit of IPA to wipe off any remaining adhesive.

I've got some "vintage" flossLike everything else today, the floss is a lower quality than it used to be. I can remember using dental floss to sew my tubeless tyres closed on my (racing) bicycle as a youngster. It was really tough stuff. The current stuff is really weak.
A couple of days ago I used some floss to remove an object fixed with foam tape and as stated, it kept snapping.
As recommended the so called "fishing wire" is the way to go!
What a lovely car that is. Even I would remove the badge tho.
