AMG alloy's - Not a good enough reason.

If you have a non-AMG model with the full AMG sport bodykit (not a kit from a full AMG) then as i said above so long as you don't remove the type designation i.e SLK350 then its normally cool because all your saying is the car has AMG parts on it.

You don't put a Brabus badge on a car because you have Brabus alloys only and its the same with AMG.

If anybody puts a 55 badge on a 350 however then they are going to get a flaming and rightly so.
