Those emblems and the headliner are a bit much. Tail lamps would be out of place even on an ‘80's Honda. He lost the ‘C’ designation for that extra touch of class. Perfect for South Beach.

Didn’t show any worthwhile drivetrain or underpinning upgrades that would help one to overlook the mistakes.

Worth far more stock, IMHO.

Why whould you do that to a very nice C55. it would coast over 2G's just to make it look presentable (tint, crome on lights, badging, inside mercedes stars all 100 of them, etc.)

He has to remind himself he's in a mercedes while he's driving it, because after the outside mods, he kept mistaking it for a really fast honda. So now he wont ever forget agian, no matter where he looks, theres a 3 pointed star.

Thats just a + and - symbols for the shifter in the back of the steering wheel. On an interesting note, did anyone notice that the washer cap is yellow instead of blue, or m'i on the only one with a blue washer reservior cap?

Are the shifter seperated by having + in the front and - in the rear of the steering wheel? If so I am very impressed!

2005 C55 AMG
It appears that someone who owns the 3 DVD set of the Fast & Furious movies must've managed to get enough $$$ to purchase a C55, and then proceeded to destroy it. I'm thinking this same person probably previously had a Honda Civic w/ a 5" fart-can exhaust on it, and a 3-foot rear spoiler that would dwarf a top fuel dragster's wing, and make the car look like a WW1 bi-plane!

It really makes me sad to see such a nice car being "riced" out like that. He is certainly limiting his marketplace now too, as his potential customer base is only going to come from the afore mentioned rice or bling-bling crowd, most of whom do not spend $30k+ on a car, but rather they buy a $3k car and then spend $30k adding all those ridiculous glue-on accessories and overpriced wheels.

Anyway, that's just my .02
I have a very "anti-rice" bias...

2006 E55 BEAST
In response to c32used's question about the + and - on the steering wheel, the paddles work just like the w211 e55 paddles, the right paddle is for upshifting, and the left paddle is for downshifting (behind the upper 2 spokes). But i do know that on the BMW 7 series sport wheel, the buttons behind the spokes are for upshifting, and the buttons in the front are for downshifting. As cool as it may sound, I've driven it, and its nowhere near as much fun as those on MBs

Wheel design doesn't look bad though minus the chrome. Is that a name brand?
