There's not a single AMG item on the car. Wheels look like Ronal's. Besides that, the car polished up real nice.

Nothing like trying to double the purchase price. AMG bits maybe, but AFAIK AMG did not do the Cabriolet Conversion. PO told me as much when I taked to him about the car. Pretty sure it has the same top latch set up as my Wide Body.

On a closer look at better pictures It may have the same top latches as mine, but it is not the same builder. it has narrowed rear seats and a center console and arm rest in the rear. Close but no cigar.

I take my comment back.. you're absolutely right. I clicked on the link and the spoilers blended in so well that I overlooked it.
