Fake C63 I saw today

I saw a C-Class today and it had a 6.3 AMG label on the side of it and a C63 and AMG label on the back. So I was looking at it and I said "this is a scam!" and the guy who owned it came out and said "don't take any pictures of my car." Apparently the guy had either a C300 or C350 sport and had rebadged it with AMG labels, pretty poser if you ask me. There was a little mark on his fender and he said that he had gotten hit and run the other night, I really think that he didn't want me to "take pictures of his fake C63" because he had hit something the other night and was worried about someone else finding out. Sorry no pics... I should've asked him to "start it up" so we could hear that 6.2 V8 out of those standard C class tailpipes. LOL.

I didn't want to post anything..but I saw this several days ago. Badged as a C63 AMG, new dealer plate. Driven by an old lady.

Hard to see the C63..but you can make out the '63' if you look hard enough.

I saw the same thing today too! I was at a mall in Connecticut and had my DSLR with me. I'll post the pictures in a moment... At first I was thinking, shouldn't the C63 look meaner and just catch my eye. The badging looked factory. But when I was taking the photo, I felt something was just not right.

I've seen a coupled of fake E55's too..even down the the V8 Kompressor badge on the fender. What is a total give away is the huge AMG brakes, lol.

Offtopic, how'd you get pics like that? Does your lens have some type of filter?

Yea man those are some studio quality pics right there. That's a nice DSLR/lens you must have. I'm trying to get into DSLRs, ppl keep telling me to get a 8 or 10Megapixel Canon or Nikon from BB for around $500 as a starter.

Ok, back on topic.

Damn I can't wait to roll up to a fake and smoke 'em

If I see one, they are going to get a good look and laugh from me.

You see that all the time, with cl500's, s class, any type of mercedes. The thing that really caught my attention was a toytota spyder or something badged with a ferrari name in the back as well as the ferrari logo stuck on the side and front. wow.
