AMG Spoiler & badge. Knob ( gear)

[MEMERC]

Where can I get an AMG boot spoiler already painted. Don't want to pay silly Merc. prices but don't want obvious poor copy or have to drill holes?
Ditto AMG badge ( car IS genuine AMG ) but want to remove existing SLK 250 & replace the MERCEDES badge with AMG badge.

Auto gearknob looks a bit fuddy-duddy so fancy something polished maybe in carbon or plain black. Any ideas? I assume it's an unscrew and screw on job. ( keep your answers clean please no puns!)

A 250 AMG ?

I thought the AMG model was the 55 ?

To remove the gear knob, prise up the leather frame on the console and pull it up over the knob, turn the collet nut ½ turn and it pulls up and off, do not knock yourself out in doing this, I did

You can have an amg badge on your car if you like (get it from ebay, genuine, about 30 pounds).
A standard car with amg styling options and amg alloys, does not an amg make though.

Real AMGs have a signature on the engine.

Does raise the question though, with this AMG trim level becoming more common. The OP says it's genuine AMG and what can you say? Came from the factory like it, even if it doesn''t have a hand buit V8.

I think MB have made an error with this, it just devalues the AMG brand IMO

Amg styling is just that though, styling.

If I put amg wheels and a body kit, it hasn't got any of the other goodies.

There was a discussion on this recently.

I agree and I recall this cropping up before.

I can't read the signature on mine - perhaps he'd been on the Schnaps...

You will buy these cheap cars, what do you expect John

im not really convinced that they ARE hand built. i either read or heard somewhere that the amount of engines AMG build (for both MB and customers like Pagani etc) each person would have to 'build' a few hundred engines per SHIFT

Which means you have the Amg styling and amg suspension codes possibly.

Harder suspension and bigger wheels/bodykit.

Unless the engine has a plaque with the name of the engineer who built it then it's not an AMG. What it is is a car with AMG styling
