Thanks for all your replies!

Next step is rims. My brother is close to picking up a c55. He hates the rims, so he'll be getting new rims soon after. You can take a wild guess who's gettin' the amg's!

the stock 17" amg's are the cleanest rims you can ever get ! and 17" is just perfect for ride quality & comfort..

C55 rims are 18" - C32 rims are 17" - I certainly agree that 17" are the best compromise which is why I'm fitting C55 replicas with 245/40/17 all round.

lmao. Maybe it's a sign that it says it wants to get debadged. Are you going to debadge it or buy a new "C" now?

Nah! - I'll buy a new "C" - Hope they will sell me just the "C" LOL. Debadged cars are a little frowned on here.

check out youremblem.com - they have a mercedes benz font. You can badge your car whatever you want, not saying you should make a poser move, just saying the options are unlimited. Before I debadged my car (tristar and all) I rebadged mine "MANDRUS" (MANDRUSemil wheels) that's where I got my emblems. I don't know if you have PepBoys in South Africa, but PepBoys has some emblems for like $1 each charactor made by Pilot that is Benz font just a little bolder of a font (they have the cheezy iced out ones too)

Thanks for the offer - The postage will probably be more than the C - Let's see what these Benz robbers want for a new one.
