and this summer I did springs, flathood badge, tint, DIY smoked lights, and chop off the resonator.

this is the car as of this moment, I will get the painted grille back in a day or two.

Like I said before I NEVER thought you would even drop your car let alone tint, tail lights wheels-good thing you did though because it looks MUCH better!!! You dont look like the '05 C230 SS D

Hey Frank,

I noticed in your "before" pics you didn't have the "V6 Kompressor" side badges. Did you add them yourself?

I'm just wondering when I call the parts dept. at my dealer, what exactly to ask for. Am I looking for the side badges for the C32?

Diamond,
yeah, they are the side badges on the C32. Just don't use the V6 part.
I could use those V6's, but wouldn't know where to stick 'em on my C320 COUPE. Kinda tacky.

Didn't some of the CLK's have the KOMPRESSOR badges on the side too ???

no, the CLK's, have the same 5.5 litre naturally aspirated engine as the C55. The E55 and S55, SL55, CL55 say V8 Kompressor on the side.

Yeah that's exactly what I was thinking. Cool. I'm going to call a parts dept. and ask for two sets of replacement side badges for a C32!

The SLK32's had the same type of badge on the fenders.

Huh? I'm not trying to make people think I drive a C32. I'm not putting on an AMG badge. I'm leaving on the C230 and just relocating the "kompressor" to the sides instead of the trunk. I'm not using the V6 part of the badge.

I don't think I ever put you down. But if I did, you probably deserved it.

i think nicedeboy is thinking that Frank's C32 is a wannabe since he didnt have badges on the fenders in that first pic. nicedeboy, i've seen his car, its a C32.

never mind him... he just forgot to take his medication again....
there's always shortages in Delaware.

anyway, I'm the one with the "wanna-be C32 AMG EURO-COUPE a la mode"

back to FrankW's REAL C32 ...

how can nicedeboy afford a C55, but can't afford a camera ?

aren't disposable digital cameras like $3.99 at WalMart ?

oh wait, this is the same C55 that only costs $26K right ?

must be that non-tax state thing ! yeah right !

he can't post pics, because he has an agreement with the dealer. since he bought it for so cheap, he can't disclose what the actual car looks like.

just so if anyone's wondering I took off the badge when I first got the car and put it back on a year later. I realize I like the badge more.

nicedesboy, how about posting a picture of your suppose "$25k C55" ?

thx for the comments guys. I'll post pic when I get the grille back probably tomorrow.
