All I'm after is the AMG tips, that have "AMG" etched on the chrome.
Call me crazy !

If I would of known better, I would have gotten a real AMG.
But the C32 AMG COUPE, never got near US shores, and so my wanna-be quest began....

Drew, I say get the 18's. They still look good, and tires wont set you back nearly as much. the rims will cost more also for the 19's, but remember you will be replacing tired every so often.

My wife's 2004.5 has the same set up, except that the chrome single oval tip is a few inches longer, and looks much sportier.
I believe the set up on the left is what the non-sport C320s had before the single oval chrome tip. I've seen some 2001's with just the two little putter tips pointing downwards.
I don't know anything for sure, though.

I'm going to the shop right now, and better not find you there installing your CARLSSON exhaust. That's not very CROW friendly !
I don't know if all these exhaust questions will ever be answered.
Wiedermann, the CROWS need help !!!

Mr. Anaheim_Drew:
Mr. Saprissa's comments were accurate. Both exhaust set ups are for W203 vehicles. Though not "identical", they will both fit a C class vehicle (depending on the options, build, etc). You can choose to replace one type of exhaust set up for another
(even if that means just the tips, the whole thing, etc. however, be advised that depending on the "change" that you want, you may or may not be able to do it as a direct "swap"... --you may or may not need to have custom work, welding, etc done--)
Cheers!
Wiedermann

Mr. CitronC230K_03:
The service dpt where I take the C32 is not open on the weekends. If I don't get it back today, I will have a super duper C240 for the meet! (yup, it is that bad...)
I have not received a call from my dealership as of yet... chances are they'll keep the car for another 2 more weeks making it a whooping month to replace 10 plastic pins that took Sunman less than 5 minutes to remove/replace (that is when we found out some of the plastic pins were missing throughout the vehicle, that isn't anything "vital", however, I thought the dealership should be able to put them back on... boy was I wrong on that one!).. and well, replacing a Nav system that they won't do. As I mentioned on another thread on a similar subject:
... everything has a solution, it is just going to take the "usual" channel (letters to MB USA and channel it down that way.. ETA for that, another couple of months...lol)
I will try to make it to the dealership to pick up the C32 "as is" which is absolutely "fine" to the naked eye (yeah, you could not find the plastic pins that I am talking about... lol).
Cheers

good point Drew, complimentary loaners dont get First Class/Front Row Rock Star Parking.
You get "Lucky to be there/Nose Bleed Section, Park your own loaner car and walk" style
