my wife has them on her 2004 C-Sedan
Pinchee has them on his 2003 C32

so
pretty sure that's incorrect...

all sedans don't have the thumb grip...
only the 2004.5 sedans with the 3-spoke airbag and the coupes with the 3-spoke airbag

this is the standard wheel:




this is an AMG wheel:

really?
they come standard on all W203 sedan's (C240, C320, C230)
the coupes came with the 3-spoke wheels (with thumb grips), and in '05, they put the 3-spoke wheel on the sport sedans.
the AMG wheel is basically the same, but with AMG leather to match the seats and it is thicker..

i'll take a picture tonight of my wife's 2004 C320 stock steering wheel...
definitely has the thumb grips.

and funny...
my original 2003 C-Coupe steering wheel was a 3-spoke wheel with NO thumb grips.

Where did you get the flat AMG badge? There are sooo many choices on ebay, I don't know where to buy it from.

Also, you should have gotton the valve caps with the Affalterbach tree and piston logo! I thought it would be superfluous, but I think it adds a nice detail to the car.

cool... I'm not a fan of the burnt blue tips, but all g. if I were, I would have a Dixis Ti Exhaust right now on the M instead of having to wait a month for the El Diablo to come in...

post pics of the stuff on! enough of the teasers!

btw, did you do the tails yourself? do you have anymore of the film? I remember you selling it, I have an idea and I kinda want to buy some off of you... thanks!

haha, oh yeah I'm really gonna spend 5g's on the Kreissieg... I might as well go Tubi while I'm at it! especially on a car that I'm most likely trading in once the new M3 Vert comes out.

that JL 500/1 works with stock Bose speakers?

I want to change my headunit and probably amp to ensure that the stock speakers will function normally.
