C55 ///AMG, 535xi
Spotted: Hong Kong Silver C32 Amg

Hi,

I am on vacation in hong kong! Today, I spotted a Silver C32 Amg, with a quad setup, silver front add-on lip, 19" bremmas, decklid and window spoiler, HID fogs, and a young typical hong kong male, mid 20s to early 30s range. Pretty nice guy. I spoke to you today, near "central". I'm sure your on here, since you know about the pullies group buy as well. If you are, I'm here to say hi again!

Hey, how are you Advans? this is Fred, talked to you shortly on such an occassion in Hong Kong. I was on the run, sorry didn't have time to chat.

Nice meeting you, keep in touch and i will keep you updated on the LET pulley and Heat Exchanger. Probably the 6-Pot brakes may go on my car as well as the brakes are due for service shortly.

How's your stay in Hong Kong, go to Repulse Bay where the AMG showroom is, you will be able to see a few AMGs there, luckily the C63, not sure.

Hey, your car looks so cool.

Fred

Thanks Fred!

I'm glad to meet a member in Hong Kong. I love your car. I saw you driving around the block a few times, then parked. I've never seen a painted front lip in person, but it looks dam good!

very VERY hard to fine true AMGs in hong kong. usually, they are badged as SL500 AMG, S500 AMG, CLK320 AMG, etc etc. It's too expensive over there. AMGs are all at least HK$1,000,000. However, it's one lucky place to have an SLK55 BS. How's the weather in HK?

Yeah, too many AMGs badged MBs here. Anyway, once they have the badge, they are some how AMG "cosmetically". Not a bad idea to start knowing what AMG is!

How did you know we got an SLK55 BS for sale here??? Asking for 1.7M, about $218K. One an buy a nice used F360.

Cool weather, about 15-20C, not too good for my advan sports.

coolllllllllllllllllllllllllest C Coupe ever seen, great great effort, how much power your car has now???

BTW, what are you doing with all these wheels??? Seems like you have a few sets sitting at your garage.

One thing, how does you W211 dirve, I am looking for a W211 E55 lately, most of them are in bad shape.

BTW, did you know we have an online auto trader here, namely 28car.com, go try, you will see a few nice MBs.

Enjoy, when are you leaving anyway. I will see if i can chat with you again.

I personally love the feel of the W211, sedan wise. its great. My father drives one, my cousin drives one, my uncle drives one. Its a great choice.

Fred, I've seen a few used W211 E55s on mags, they ARE in pretty bad shape! why don't you look for a CLK55? lol.

I'm leaving the first or so, I'm wondering if buying a set of wheels here would be cheap!

thanks for the comments!

The car was bought earlier as a stock C32 this year and i did all the mods. As far as i know there are a few quads in the city, what i saw were C320s and C200s. Another silver C32 just did a quad after seeing my car at the mechanic shop, but that one has a Brabus 19 instead of Bremmas.

You know what, I saw a complete ART S500 White the other day. it was soooooo nice. Love it so much. Too bad we went different directions, otherwise i will definitely chat with him.

I had some time with a CLK-DTM today and it was amazing, didn't drive it but were so attracted by every single detail of the car.

Trucks, taxi (soemtimes), mini vans got body kits. HIDs are selling at a few grans, why not get it???

Brakes are also famous here, mini vans got 4pot or even 6pot brembos. Came across a Mazda one day that has AMG 4pot on it.

Nice experience in HK right?? got to see the HK way of modifying cars.

Fred,

Our company is setting up an office in Central...so I'll be going there often.

I loved the car culture in Hong Kong...much more diverse and interesting than here in Seoul.
It seems most cars are cosmetically modified in some fashion.

Where is this place where I can get some MB/AMG accessories?
I want to visit them next time...which hopefully will be soon!
