Gee I get to the 1st to reply?
What the ?

Fly yellow was not offered...ever, as far as I know.
I have the Euro brochure. No mention of anything like that.
Certainly not in the US.
Is this another Designo car?

Wow it even has yellow trim on the floor mats.
Trippy!

Yeah, it's pretty cool looking. The center console trim pieces obviously are designo as well. The scuffs on the passenger's side front lip are annoying, though.

Funny how after over 10 years on the forums, we still have cars popping up that
can surprise us.
There's another member with a Designo coupe, with AMG style package, red and black interior.
He only just joined recently, and another guy from Peru with an actual C32 coupe, one of like 5 in existence and the only one anyone ever actually saw on the forum, until he joined about 1 year ago.

Gawd you need new facelifted tail lights BADLY, or black out the existing ones.
Pink looks hideous with yellow.

Was looking at nice rear and front head lights but going to get the arches done first on the car. They are very bad

I really like the front bumper. Better than the look we had in the U.S. with the '05 that "almost" looked like the AMG bumper. Would love to get hands on one of those!

2003 C230 Sports Coupe, Paprika Metallic Red, Auto, Pano, Leather
In yellow it really reminds me of a limited edition 1988-91 Honda CRX,... I had a red Honda Civic hatchback when I was younger but really wanted the CRX, unfortunately here in North America the CRX didn't come with back seats,... the rear ends of us NorthAmericans seems to be much larger than that of the rest of the world!. Anyways, that's why I like our coupe,... a sporty little 2 door coupe with back seats with a practical hatchback and rear tailgate glass (actually plastic) to help vision when reversing. Then you add leather seats, pano-glass-roof (both were available in JDM CRX although their glass-roof didn't open),...

Anything special under the hood?

BTW, just wondering,... is your wife a Canadian ex-Pat living in UK? That seems to be a moose decal on the car,... and moose are common in certain parts of Canada.

Nick, just for sheets and giggles, PM me the VIN, I want to run it on EPC and print the data card, that lists all the options. I'd like to see what the option codes are for
the Designo package and some of the AMG stuff.

EDIT- Never mind. Saw your other post.
Ran it, and the option to view the datacard was blanked out!
Wierd.

I love it but the bonnet is faded or it has been fixed and sprayed the wrong colour so I need to have a think about a carbon fibre wrap ?

Where abouts in the UK are you out of interest?

Would be good to see some more pics of the interior..
