C230 Coupe Silver
I would invest in some moleskin for your window tint so you dont get the scratch lines from rolling it up and down. Its a good 35-40 investment.

C230 Coupe Silver
Actually Saprissa has a C320 coupe.
Stock engine I believe, but lots of other stuff.
PShek has a coupe with a C32 motor.
He spent like 15 grand on it though.
Not the car, just the motor.
Shoulda got yoiur tint done by Automall tint in Fremont.
They know how to do a coupe right without blowing the antenna amplifier.
Took me years to find those guys who had a clue about mercedes,
they use the loop side of velcro to keep the
tint from scratching (vs, moleskin), and you have to put the hatch tint on with the hatch down, sitting in the back,
OR ELSE!
Or else what? Well, or else a $1K repair to replace the antenna amplifier.
In 2003 dollars.

that's a shame..... they definitely did the tint with the hatch up, because they told me they charged me less because it was easier... but they said they use a sponge so i don't know.... hopefully once i get the new tint the problem will be fixed...

It's amazing how quickly you are getting everything done here.
Most of us did everything a little at a time.
Can't wait to see the finished product.
Did you order your ASP pulley?
That's the thing that's really gonna put a smile on your face.

I've been trying to milk my mod list for as long as I can to savor the "new" feeling and fully appreciate each mod at a time. That what I tell myself because I'm broke and can't afford them all at once
Post more pics of the ride along the way!

if you get the ones from the c55 then yeah they should fit since it's the same interior, don't know about the E or S though

THE C350
From my understanding the Coupe has different seat mounts/bolt locations then the c class sedan. But the coupe shares seats with the CLK from what i remember reading. GL

Also. I finally finished my suspension work... But alignment people corrected the front this time and messed up the back and told me that it was a bad sensor. So I decided I'm going to go bother them for a check up this saturday since they put in so much effort to try and rip me off haha

not meaning to call you an a$$hole, i just don't like it when people put down others on the forum(and i mean much worse sh*t than what you said) so it's all good man, it did look kinda funny the way you posted it
