Difference in engine? Or is it just looks?
I was wondering in my C230 Coupe I have a black strip on the top of my engine. I was looking on ebay and I saw multiple c230 coupes with the red cover on the top of their engines.... this may be a dumb questions but I am confused. Is there a difference in motors or is it just for looks?

thanks

Only 192?

Rough guess, I'm putting out 240 hp at the crank, but no dyno yet.
