I have no doubt.The guys that stick on the AMG badge do care a lot!
But they fool no one...except themselves.
But, it's harmless.
Part of me wants to 'AMG' our car just to wind up those that are bothered by it.
I always de badge my cars as i personally think it looks better. Plus helps with the polishing & waxing. You spent all the money on a AMG, why would you hide the fact?

I'd prefer mine debaged -- however would I then be posing as a SL500?
They named yours SL400 due to the twin turbos giving it more power and performance than it's predecessor the SL350. SL300 would seem a backward badging step. The AMG (SL63) has a different exhaust the rear tips have a divider making them look like 4x exhausts so yours should appear different.MB have really mixed up the naming recently. Mine - SL400 "AMG Line" - 3.0L engine. Not sure what the 400 represents but I do have AMG body styling, exhaust, wheels AND (whoo hoo) AMG floor mats .
My wife's B180 has a 1.6 engine.
I recall many years ago when I was living in SA, companies started restricting the 'cc' of company cars people could buy and BMW then started badging their cars with bigger numbers than the actual cc.
My daughter was convinced I had an AMG as it was on the mats and wheels and accelerated similar to an AMG and she drives an SLK so knows something about the brand. Still do not see the point in badging AMG on a non AMG and wish it wasn't on the mats and wheels as it causes confusion and I am always having to tell people it's not!

Not grinding the AMG logo off my rims either!
I purchased the genuine AMG wheel centres for my AMG logo'd rims, purely because I preferred them to the standard blue laurel wreath that were fitted. I de-badged the rear a while ago, but with upcoming window tints (tomorrow if weather allows) and looking to have my alloys powder coated in a darker colour (possibly satin black or black chrome) I decided to re-fit matte black C250 and CDI badges. Is there anything wrong with how it looked as standard? No. Do I prefer the look of an AMG? Yes. Am I trying to turn my car into an AMG wannabe? I don't think so, but others may have a different opinion, and they are obviously entitled to it

Nothing wrong with mods. Doesn't make you a wanna be..... unless you go stick a AMG badge on her lol Jokes!I purchased the genuine AMG wheel centres for my AMG logo'd rims, purely because I preferred them to the standard blue laurel wreath that were fitted.

Looking at the dials there you must be chuffed with your 184 BHP?And another without badges, although if you'd heard it then it didn't really need them

I believe I was your last passenger in that car, and yes, no AMG badge needed to announce it's arrival!And another without badges, although if you'd heard it then it didn't really need them
