5.5 AMG badge idea

slowrey · 09-04-2007, 12:12 AM

I thought that the 6.3 AMG side fender badge was cool. Does anyone know who can make custom badges?

Too bad 55's dont have a 5.5 liter... Its a 5.4 liter engine. (Not trying to be an Ass, just a common misconception.)

sooo......... imma jst tell people it's 5.5L..

iolithblue · 09-04-2007, 01:36 AM

but on that logic, its not really a 6.3L is it..........

power-fade · 09-04-2007, 01:36 AM

The 6.3s are actually 6.2 liter V8

Its 5439.00 cc So haha most definitely 5.4liters.

schwarz · 09-04-2007, 03:40 AM

so.... does this mean that even manufacturers (MB in this case) are also posers?

slowrey · 09-04-2007, 10:57 PM

So does anyone have any suggestions on where I could get this made?

SL BRABUS · 09-04-2007, 11:28 PM

China....... I heard they made a lots of fake stuff......

slowrey · 09-05-2007, 12:00 PM

Personally I think the new 63 models look great with that badging on the side. As for 6.3 vs. 6.2 and 5.4 vs 5.5 who cares?

RawAMGpower · 09-05-2007, 04:56 PM

Hey if you can get those made and they look just as good as the OEM 6.3 ones I'll buy a set. I'll actually take 2 sets, so I can have a back up.

Mikegpr03 · 09-05-2007, 05:23 PM

I'll take one too let me know.

jmarais01 · 09-05-2007, 05:25 PM

I'll also take two!!

SaMaS · 09-06-2007, 01:37 PM

I'll take 2 let mw know...

also if you still in process creating design for it, numbers should have some kind of angle like 6.3 badge...

thanks all the best let us know if you will make them ...

One of the things I always like about my C32 was the V6 Kompressor emblems.
Ever since I've purchased my C55 I have been debating putting something on the front fenders like "V8" or 5.5AMG and feel it would add a nice touch. I've searched around and really haven't found anything that looks good other than V8. Was there ever anymore development of the 5.5AMG emblem idea since this thread was originally posted??

e1000 · 03-02-2008, 12:21 PM

engine displacement figures were always rounded up to the next tenth, hence the 5.5 and 6.3 monikers.

slowrey · 03-02-2008, 02:00 PM

Unfortunately I dont' know of any place that would make quality badges thus they are not being made.

funny, I learned about the displacement after I created my username when joining this forum. I signed up when I was just looking at the C32/C55s and thought it truly the 55 had a fivepointfiveV8. I think there are many car makes out there that indicate a higher displacement.

cldriver · 03-03-2008, 11:29 PM

I'd be interested in a set too...though I haven't seen anybody make it. Yeah, I've been looking around. checked ebay.

I'm hoping MB will will make it for AMG models that stay on the 5.5 (NA or SC).

dorikin_86 · 03-04-2008, 12:09 PM

i'll take 2!

Quick Silver · 03-09-2008, 08:26 PM

When my father was stationed in South Korea, those guys could copy/make anything from tennis shoes, customized coins, luggage, Rolex watches, etc. Maybe if someone knows someone stationed over there they could inquire. The customized coins would probably be the closest comparison.

If some how someone makes this happen, I would be up for some "3.2 AMG" badges. One thing I did not like about the V6 Kompressor is that it's to fricking long for the fender IMO.
