The inappropriate badging thread

[Mark A]

I do like them AMG CDi s

Diesel AMG’s do exist but are few and far between.

Blimey BC, you scooped the jackpot there with that lot. Excellent work, Sir.

It was like shooting fish in a barrel…

There was a couple of R171 M113 55’s and a couple of the rarer R172 55’s with the M152 engine - didn’t photograph them obviously…

C30 AMG - a 3.0 engine modified from the OM612 il5 270cdi

I wanted a R172 SLK 55 (to replace the R172 350 I’d sold in Oz) when we moved back to the UK. My wife talked me out of a 55 into a SL. I still have very mixed feelings. We got the SL for touring which, between grandkids being born and at teh other end, dying relatives the touring has not happened as often as I would have liked. A 55 would have been way more appropriate, for me, for the 5 years I’ve now had the SL.

With thanks to the SLK owners at Sports Cars in the Park at Newby Hall today… a selection…


A wrapped 250d parked pretty much right next to Dave’s S63… even had bi-turbo badges on the wings…

Even BM owners are getting in on the AMG thing…

Is there a reason why wannabe badging is usually accompanied by a personal number plate?

Not sure perhaps I should badge mine then as I have a personal plate :-().

I have this sticker on my SL500, does this entitle me to put one on the boot .

Guess it’s original, as pretty pointless where it is..

I have one for sale if you're still interested.

There does seem to be a correlation.....

I would say the majority of true AMG cars have such plates so perhaps they are simply completing the imitation process....

Love the car brand

 

[SL63 Mark]

Love it. I particularly like the makers name on the number plate badge, if you look closely.

 

[DSK]

Excellent!

 

[Blobcat]

Errr…


When selecting a personalised registration I’d recommend not getting a car or model specific one in case you change it…

A very deluded young man telling me his C204 3.5 V6 N/A BlueEfficiency AMG Sport Edition 125 was a real A M G , Amazon / Ebay AMG tailgate badge + front wings BlueEfficiency badges replaced with AMG Edition .

Then it got worse , he told me it was Supercharged , bonnet already popped and open , surprise , surprise , wot no supercharger !

Honestly these twats must be on a Kilo of weed a night .
