Black badges or chrome badges? Which do you prefer on your car.
As long as they all match - it was a shocker before! But like that you're going back stock with it and getting it all matching! Looking forward to seeing what's next.
@@DistractedNumber I agree, mixed was just too weird. Being white, the chrome seems like the right choice.
I would keep the original, amblems should be replaced within 7 years I believe
What did you use to remove the old adhesive?
More AMG emblem nerd facts:
The pre-facelift W204 C63 was launched in 2007 with the old AMG logo with 2 angled legs.
In 2009 AMG switched to the new logo with one straight leg. However, since the pre-facelift car was originally designed with the old logo, it retained that logo until the arrival of the facelift model in 2011. The facelift (like your car) uses the new AMG logo.
Funny thing is that even on pre-facelift cars produced after the logo change, you might still find some stickers with the new AMG logo, like the oil sticker and the like. Probably because the production lines had already switched.
Definitely looks better chrome/stock 👌
Much prefer the OEM look. I think you’re correct and standard examples are becoming the exception and will likely be more sought after.
Now this is the question.. leave the black boot spoiler or turn it back to white?
@@CarThought The carbon spoiler is stock- it comes with the "carbon pack" alongside the carbon on the front splitter I thought?
I think you’re 100% right, although I don’t think my car came from the factory with the carbon pack. I’ve now removed the front splitter ‘carbon’ that was just a wrap.. and the spoiler is the same on the boot lid! I could of course change them for carbon ones! But they’d have to be OEM parts.
Chrome looks much better. You did a good job.
Definitely chrome! Great quality video as always 👍🏼
I think you'll find you have fitted the new style 'A', the decal you removed was the original AMG style logo
For a pre-facelift car yes. But my car is a facelift, so the logo was updated.
Hey if I’m not mistaken I believe most of the older AMG models have badges with that same type of “A”
Watching your video I have since found out that they changed the badge/logo on the facelift, both sides of the A slant on mine one and mine is a 2010 C63, its the same for my door sills
£90 for a genuine one!!! They really are having a laugh. I recently bought the rear diffuser from Merc and it was cheaper than the AMG badge!
Yeah my diffuser wasn’t bad at all! I think I paid around £70.
I can't understand why manufacturers still use chrome trim anymore, seems so outdated but I suppose they can charge more for shadow/black packs and editions. I understand your reasons for making it as original as possible though.
That “A” is not “wrong”
It’s the earlier styling. Came on the prefacelift c63. They updated the A sometime around 2012
Did not know that! Apologies! I was told it wasn’t AMG. At least now I know. PFL Correct 👌
@@CarThought yeah and I think they updated it again in 2015+! Haha
@@CarThought you can find all of the years and updated versions online and how they’ve slightly changed it
Badge looks a tad wonky to me 🧐
Dude the sticker on your plate holder< after replacing the badge you should change that as well.
Great video! Thanks so much!
Cool hoodie where do I get one?
I'm a little late to your video, but great video.
It would help if you put it on straight 🤣
There’s always one.. 😂
@@CarThought 😂😂
see your exhaust tips which way is the A slanted?
Old style one! The exhaust system between FL and PFL I believe is the same
are the orginal badges plastic or metal?
Think they’re all plastic bud!
Will you change the plate too to match?
Already done! TH-cam is just a bit behind as the edit takes a while. If you follow me on Instagram, it’s much more up to date 😊🤘
I loved the "this is wrong" and then cuts to a shot of the plate frame and... it's there. Taunting.
Which substance did you use to take off the glue?
Any mineral spirit will do it! Just don’t put much on and wash it off as soon as you can after the glue is removed✌️
