It is "Fun" and we're enjoying it :) - makes a nice change from the AMG badges - As a content creator I would have thought you'd be happy with the attention it's received :cool::)

Your new pic looks different to the original one you posted - could be the camera angle o_O

All looks pretty fake to me ;-).

The badge would look good on your SL63, a bit of reverse psychology like badge removals, with the Club badge in your windscreen you could create maximum confusion.

Is it me or does the E350d look dodgy?
It does look to be on a bit of an angle, the lowercase “d” doesn’t look great to my eye either

Couldn’t resist this nice touch of upgrading the E53 centre console lid to a E63
Different air vents between the Estate and Cabrio...

And the Ambient lighting. Love it in the Mercs. Particularly the Purple, looks awesome. :)

Yes, a very nice touch. My car was delivered with blue lighting, which I've recently changed to green, but after your recommendation I'll be trying purple next.

A neat AMG badge on the steering wheel, but is that driver's seat upholstered in Artico?

Yes, I'm afraid so. I did order leather but the dealer cocked it up and the financial recompense for their mistake made it sensible to keep it. In fact, I like it and it's wearing pretty well after 70k miles. The Dinamica (Alcantara) centres are much nicer to sit on (IMO) than leather and don't get hot in the sun.

Double set of Fake badges + one of the owners paid £300 for a new Fake AMG plate to boot :D

S'pose it could've come of his/her last car, which was a "genuine" AMG. And they've decided to keep it. In case they get another one. Just giving them the benefit of the doubt. :)
