Member Posts: 390 Group: Members Member #13 Joined: November 7, 2005	Do the ducktails really have the AMG emblem on? Is it moulded into the spoiler or a badge stuck on? I saw a ( admitedly shabby) AMG kitted 190 with no badge - moulded OR stuck on. Could've been a copy but I'm sure the front bumper had the AMG moulded in. Baby C's doesn't appear to have a badge/emblem and I'm pretty sure he wouldn't settle for a fake. :ph43r: Go on, someone prove me wrong............again!

I believe babyc has the second revision of it which has a smaller molded in AMG emblem ... it is color matched so obviouisly hard to see... this first version of it that was produced has a larger AMG symbol molded into it..but when it is body colored matched, is hard to see as well... I believe cdn190er has one in his garage somewhere... and in the last year I saw two sold out of Vancouver (the older style with the larger AMG) for 150-200$ USD personally i like them especially when the whole rear end molds into the ductail.. obviously that takes some body excessive body work but the look it produces when done proper is so seamless...i love it! run.exe on the US 500ecstasy forum has a ducktail molded onto his w124 500e500... i think it looks amazing

However all the pieces have AMG and a HWA part number embossed on the mounting surface. so yeah, i was quasi wrong..i forgot i had this discussion w/ Tim aka cdn190er... I think we surmised that AMG got cheaper with the mold and wanted it as simple as possible for stamping purposes... I think the more recently produced one is a tad bit lighter in terms of Poly Urethane blend used

Thanks for the reply though, I'll have to wait 'til I'm back at my parent's house where the spoiler is to have a look for part numbers. Didn't want to post here 'til I had for fear of looking daft, but heyho...

W201, W124 etc.

Good off roader although expensive. Very many popular off roaders being used for fun, but when they get stuck, what turns up to haul them out? A series 1 or 2 Landie with hydraulic winch! However Brabus G Wagen, Droooooolllll !!

Member Posts: 50 Group: Members Member #77 Joined: November 23, 2005	the last years of merc's i care for are the 99' and 00' SL's .... and the 00' C43 and C36's but in terms of solid last years of the classic merc build ... i think 95-97 really saw the demise in build quality ,, with the first C-class being intro'd and the M-class egg timer plastic SUV also being intro'd , mercedes took a clear turn for worse reliability when aiming more for the US market don't get me wrong , i still drool over the carlsson , kleeman's, amg's, brabus, lorinsers out there... but I couldn't even imagine the type of uber mercedes that could be produced if the base quality from the early 90's merc's was implemented into what these tuners built their current cars off of... it'd be definitely a great quality/enduring bang for the buck. i've had my eye on a 95' e320 cabriolet with really low miles locally... not sure if I can transform into one of those 'convertible' guys..but it sure would be nice for warm weather.

W201 190E 2.3-16! and i quote "no C-Class is ever destined to become a classic car" (with the exception of AMGs)
