Where can one get the AMG placard for the Super Charger?

 

You can't unless you get one off a wrecked slk. That said, someone on here was making an SRT6 version. MB refused to put the placard on the Crossfire.

 

I saw the pics of the SRT version but they must have gone pretty fast because I cant seem to even find them anymore... I think they came out in 07 or 08 and those arnt even available anymore... If anyone has one I would be willing to buy it ...

 

Not entirely true.

If you can find a MB parts department that only sees dollar signs, do the following:

• Find a VIN from a 3.2 Kompressor powered AMG (SLK32, C32)
• Contact dealer
• Order part number 000 221 12 01
• Pay $100

You will then receive your name plate. It won't be accurate because since there was no OE name plate, we have no clue who actually built the motor. But, no one at a car show is going to fact check you. Promise.

You're welcome.

 

You sure know a lot for a kid.

 

I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

 

Ha Ha Ha, nice!

 

perfect way to be labeled a poser for life!

 

If the rest of the world views the AMG letters in as sacred a fashion as you do, then sure... But I'd hazard to say most everyone views it as an internal tuning wing of a company that is 13th in global sales, not a deity.

 

its no different than putting roush on your mustang when it wasnt built by roush. if you know the builder thats 1 thing if you dont then its simply posing. would you apply a tag on your car that you know isnt the correct or the truth? i dont think so. im not saying the engine isnt an amg engine simply that the builders signature isnt the correct builder therefore its a poser

 

You put an AMG tattoo on your calf, but you were built by your mother, not AMG.

 

So....a way to get the placard that my '02 32 never had?
Interesting.

 

Indeed. But, if you don't know the exact builder, you risk being a poser.

I say, risk away. People at a car show will walk by and go "sweet ride" and keep walking. Doesn't matter if you've spent $50,000 in mods or if it's factory-fresh, most people give any car at a show a 15-second look, then keep shuffling along.

 

i wear the ink to show my pride in the brand i drive not to fool someone into thinking this guy actually built my engine.
as for the 02 slk32 i had the same issue with my first 32. no medallion. no way i would put one on because everyone in the know would know it was fake. for some its ok for me not gonna happen

 

True that. Says AMG on my title and that is what counts.

 

I got a poser for you....

 

Not entirely accurate. See my pic of our SRT engine from an official Chrysler Inspired Drive event.

I feel the same way about tats

I may get one for *****-n-gigs... More to showcase the fact that it was hand-built, not to champion the name of some random German. As discussed on the phone, the SRT-specific placards are no longer available, so it's this (what was likely originally on there as a service part, then later removed by Chrysler) or nothing.

It's a low-priority mod for me because it's $100 for something that no one will see except at a car show. For $100, I know a guy that does laser-engraving. Might just make one SRT-specific

 

I could hug you for posting this... As an employee with Nissan for nine years, I know some "ins and outs" of the service parts industry with manufacturing corporations. I've been saying for years that the SRT motor was the exact same hand-built AMG motor, and likely had an AMG placard to begin with. When Daimler-Chrysler decided that it needed 2,944 motors (2,016 coupes, 928 roadsters) the AMG service-part replacement long blocks (10102-xxxxx part number in Nissan) was retrofitted with SRT manis, and the name plate was removed and the residue was sanded off. Note the "AMG" on the supercharger is still conspicuously displayed for all to see.

Clearly on the photos above, the name plate hadn't been removed yet since it wasn't a factory installed motor. Curiously, the manis are present.

Very interesting, thank you for sharing.

 

Personally I don't give a damn, but when I had a SRT I wouldn't and didn't put any AMG badges on it. I've always liked the SRT plates though, and John if you put an AMG plate on yours I'll make sure I point it out to everyone who ewws and ahhs over it at the car shows. Might even make a sign so I don't have to stand near your car.
