G55 badged or debadged
my G55 designo graphite metallic came debadged, but I got from the dealer all the original badges to retrofit if wanted (amg, g55, v8 kompressor)
what do u guys think? Badges or no badges
I've always prefer keeping a low profile, my badges came off the day I collected it. You don't want your neighbours thinking that you are showing off :)
IN YOUR FACE I'VE GOT A G55
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHH
agree with gordon...shout it from the roof top..G55.!!!!!!!
you can hear it before you can see it, badges are neither here not there.
In Germany, people de-badge the top models to appear more modest and discrete. In the UK people de-badge the base models.
I agree with Roly. I debagded my 500.....even took off the Mercedes stars and replaced the grill one with a Puch badge.......keeps prying eyes off it on travels. Ph
De badged my 500 the day I took delivery. Personally nice not to advertise, stops some thug scratching the paint work through envy. Did that with all my AMG's in the past. Those who know, will tip a nod, those who don't will look foolish when it comes to the traffic lights....
Though you could take off the V8's and G55 and keep the AMG on. Thus making people think you have a non AMG engined and paid for the body work only..... then get them at the traffic lights (again)
Up to you, as it's horses for courses.

You've got that number plate - and your worried about badges???
Car looks lovely, I had a look at it earlier this evening.
Badges are for there salesmen to charge more for different models..... who cares what anyone else thinks you are driving.... as long as you know... if i had a G55 i would de badge it... like the good people said... anyone who knows about cars will know anyway... who cares about those who dont !
unless of course you shelled out £200k on a G65 V12...!!
Peter Perfect stuck a 1.4 badge on mine. :)
Bet Howards taken it off though.
Nice - BTW were you down in the Twickenham area a few days ago? My sister has this picture on her phone!!! (Asked if it was a member!)

Yeah I'd be embarrassed too if I had such a purposeless truck, sorry that's not true I'd cash it in for a more practical engined vehicle. The G55, G63 and any thing else with a V8 might sound nice and be swift in a straight line but it won't corner and unless modified won't work off road either...so what is the point of such a vehicle when others will do the posing thing better and possibly more cheaply too. If you want a fast V8 buy an R8, that has 4x4 and it does a few more miles per gallon
No need to worry about corners in a G63 :P

Finding your post embarrassing for the forum, pointless and unfriendly. Drive what who wants to!
Not really welcoming to new members
Apologise welcome
Got rid of my R8 P-O-S

Don't take the bait, he does this with everbody. Pushes buttons to get a rise.
Kind Regards and welcome to the GWOA
Trasher, as you fitted the G63 wheels, have you considered changing the set-up (springs/ shocks) to the G63 specification as well? Supposedly (it is difficult to get reliable information) the G63 set-up is easier to live with.
