Wheels, kit and door sills....nice. And the nice people selling it have been in the business 15 years (or bussiness as they describe it).

Interior looks mint and at least it does have the AMG kit.
They're selling an SL600 that they 'blew up' themselves too!
"THE CAR IS LEFT HAND DRIVE, and before you ask why its so cheap, it requires MAJOR ENGINE ATTENTION, there is a hole in the block, so do your home work before you come down. That said, the car is in excellent order throughout all the electrics work, the gearbox is perfect, and it was used daily tilll i blew it up."

To name a car an AMG, I personally feel it should have some AMG engine modifications...what do you guys think?

With the newer models yes.....
But pre AMG being part of DC , w124s and w201s for example, AMG would do anything from interiors to engines...
The early models i believe should still be called AMG's as they were built when AMG would do anything totally custom to the car....
As long as it has been worked on by AMG i beleive that it should be called an AMG, and that doesn't include just ticking the bodykit and wheels option when buying a car .....

Those wheels are replicas, nothing wrong with that as such I've got a set but shouldn't be palmed off that they are "AMG" wheels, they're not.
Incidently, I've been looking for a set, been ringing around and suppliers are saying that those replica style wheels are not being made anymore, specifically the RE6 replica. So unless I can find an unsold set lurking in a wharehouse somewhere I'll have to get mine refurb'd.

Thats doesn't make it an AMG though. Why do so many people think that a body kit and wheels give them the right to slap on the badge and call it AMG?
