Those tail pipes look a little long to my eye. Also, the C63S letters do not quite line up, other than that, good effort. He's got the "AMG" letters pretty good.
He’d even gone for an AMG button on the centre console. Exhausts had an aftermarket “cobra performance” (IIRC) brand name on.

Ah bless him. Hopefully his mates will be suitably impressed.
I’m sure they’ll be fizzing like bottled bass and dripping like a knackered fridge :rolleyes::D:p

Shame the 204 never released the C63S.
I'd be ashamed to own that with a diseasle engine and that badging.

Yes, that one has the droopy AMG badge syndrome, they have tried to line up the AMG letters with the boot lid, which seems to be a common pitfall.

Never noticed the badge...…...it's the colour I was thinking inappropriate ;);)

The 'o' in tronic is a 'D'
Can’t say as I’d really advertise the 7G box these days... 9G possibly (but not on the car though)

Wonder what would happen if you got a ticket for parking over the line, in that car park, and you presented them with that picture.
Or any NCP car park for that matter! Keep as a ‘get out of jail free’ card....
