Didn't want to hijack the various widebody threads with this Q: how did UK customers choose AMG kits/wheels for their brand-new Mercedes back in the '90s? (Edit: meaning before AMG was bought in-house)
I'm looking at a W201 that has an AMG gen 2 kit and wheels that all appears to be genuine and seller says were there from new (as far as he knows). Rest of car is high-spec, too.
So did UK customers spec a car at the MB dealership and from the official MB spec, get it built and delivered to the dealer which then fitted the AMG bits (painted to match), before delivering the car to the customer?
Did all MB dealers do this?
