Of course they also leave the model designation intact and you can tell the cars have the AMG bodykits so its not exactly wrong i mean they are not changing the model des just saying the car has AMG parts installed and thats fine with me because 90% of the time its the truth.

All that annoys me is people changing the model des from one model to the other the amount of E55's i have seen with diesel engines is amazing! or people adding AMG model bodyparts to a non AMG not the AMG Sport pack parts i am totally fine with that its what they are made for but people putting say a 55 bumper onto a 350 that really pisses me off because its normally part and parcel with a new badge.
Well spank me for my AMG rear spoiler. However, I think my car needed that bit of insolence.

AMG front bumper! I gave up the sport suspension so I could have the regular front end. I love my corner illuminating lights!

Rebadge / Nobadge, the sign of people ashamed of what they got who put too much stock into what other people think.

PS: I saw an old beat up Altima rebadged a LS400 the other day.

How about an SLK63 Tri-Turbo???
