Might be more convincing if there was such a model

True that, as far as I'm aware there are only E63 saloons and estates and no coupes or convertibles.


My spidey senses tell me that is a E220 CDI

E250 CDI AMG Sport 2d Tip Auto

Fair enough, you've clearly done your homework. I was trying to think of the lowest spec E class diesel.

It would look so much better debadged.

It was a nice car, I really don't get who is going to be fooled by the 63 badge though. It was 3 exhausts short and will sound and go like a diesel.

Spotted at a local dealer. The different sized tyres front to rear don't inspire confidence either.

[IanCress]

Haha, at least put the bigger tyre on the back, that just looks awful. Would probably confuse the ABS system as well, if it had one.

Followed a Mk4 Golf GTI GTTDI on my way to work this morning

Saw a Chrysler Crossfire at the car wash yesterday with an AMG badge on the back

One of the service managers at our local MB has a Crossfire. I asked him if it was because he could get the parts cheaper through MB. He said no, they're cheaper paying full price at Chrysler.

On the motorway, assume common-as-muck 118/120d proudly displaying ///Md.

Unless your name is Mohammed, you can DEFINITELY do one...

Afraid not, it was red

It also had a personalised reg, ending SRT. If it was one then I'd quite like it actually.

Spotted a 'Scania' Transit in Irlam t'other day. No picture though I'm afraid.

[Jenx]

Have just ordered this...



Am I allowed to put Cosworth badges on it? (Even I baulked at plan A...to take off all Ford badges and replace them with Aston Martin hehe)

I'd imagine that could be rather nose-heavy if you could wedge it in...

Not a Scania mobile repair van by any chance?

Just spotted this on Gumtree...

That is just the normal 'sport' spec kit that comes with those bumpers.

I stand corrected, still AMG badged

but....


AMG is now a spec, like the SLK AMG diesel and other cars so it is confusing for all.
