I know it has been discussed before but

Please satisfy my curiosity.
My 1998 CLK has the Amg bumpers,side skirts and when it was new it also had the 17 AMG monoblock wheels on it and that got me wondering,was this an option for the car, So I trailed the internet and found this

"I'm assuming you're not the original owner of your car? If so, I'm guessing the previous owner of the car just put the AMG logo on the trunk lid. There was also a sports package available which included AMG bumpers and skirt package as well as AMG rims but that was an appearance package only. It did not alter the engine, suspension or anything else on the vehicle. This sports package was not very common on CLK320 models but it was standard on the CLK430."

So I assume my clk was ordered with this package when new?
Now that I have my CLK, I have noticed that it seems to have a lot of toys in it compared to alot of other ones that I looked at, so I take it that the original owner ticked a lot of the boxes on the option list?
And would I be able to find out from the original dealer who sold the car,what was on the order form,would they still hold that information for an older car?
Thanks in advance

If you ask at the service desk of a dealer and give them the vin they may be able to access some info for you or at least provide some clues of where to ask.

That package did not exist in the UK. In the USA the cars arrive pre-made with common equipment packages and they hope that someone orders them!

In Europe they used to make you pay for every single option individually but now they have equipment packs to make you pay for the one item you want and also a bunch of things you don't. Clever isn't it?

It doesnt look like the AMG bumpers and skirts were on there from new.
