What’s with all stupid rear spoilers people are fitting to even proper AMGs and M cars like the one in the picture and those with two raised bits towards the outer edges. Ultimate way to label oneself as chav.

It's the only way they can keep the rear end planted on the road with all the power being produced by those AMG badges.

Difficult to control a C220's 167bhp diesel engine once badged!

Actually quite like it, must be a Chav then. Hang on a bit, no I'm not. Still quite like it though. Nice motor, even with the badge. :)

Would look a little silly when left at the lights by Sarah in her Eco boost though...

Probably not bothered. :) I've got a quite fast motor, personally don't give a toss, who leaves me at the lights. :)

Sort of defeats the object of having extra down force spoilers and brake cooling vents though.. :).

Neither of which have any effect in the traffic light grand prix.:D
Or at all on a standard diesel which is why I don't understand the need to add them, just buy the real deal if you like the look and if budget does not stretch buy an older car...

He's probably added them, for aesthetic reasons no harm in that at all. And perhaps he just doesn't want an older so called "real deal" car.
I really don't understand what the problem is at all. :rolleyes:

As a 5 door I think I would keep it debadged

Can we have more pics though, have the side badges been removed as well..?

Sorry for the delay, probably not the best light conditions for photos but here they are

It's fully debadged and the 4 pot exhaust says all if anyone behind is curious, if it were mine I would keep it that way makes it a little more unique!
