cooling mods would be the first thing then intakes pulleys then dyno tune and lastly exhaust ie: cat delete res delete and long tube headers. t/b bore or 80mm if the pocket can handle it would be nice

must have mods:

1) 22" wheels
2) chrome everywhere, chrome around the tailights, around the headlights, everywhere
3) lowered 4" on coilovers so that the rear wheels tuck underneath the fenders
4) 2x 15" subwoofers in the trunk
5) 12000k HID lighting in halogen reflector headlights, aimed 20 degrees above the horizontal
6) lots of spoilers, roof spoiler, trunk spoiler, lip spoiler. anywhere you can put a spoiler, put one.
7) replace factory radio with flip out DVD player
8) TV screens in the headrests

8) TV screens in the headrests
1)how did you fit 22" on the your C32?
2) chrome all over a c32 looks nasty wel it depends on the color iguess .
3) 22"wheels plus lowered 4" i hope you plan on driving 2mph
4) 2X 15" sub a whole buch of extra weight to me and no trunk
5)12000k hid are the light upgrade to help you see the road beter or try to look like a ricer ? 12000k hid are barely brighter then hologen
6)
7) be carefull with that, not having steering wheel control sucks plus i aftermarket stereo on bose will run you allot if you want good sound.
8) tv screens maybe ? unless you have kids to watch it in the back im not sure a grown person wil be confortable in the back of a c class

You forgot spinners and ebay "custom" intakes! Well, pretty much anything else you can get off ebay is a "must have" for that matter.

2.3 more liters of displacement from 2 extra cylinders, 469 horsepower and usually a full second faster in the quarter. Us c32/c55 guys aim for 12's. they shoot for 11's and the highly modded guys hit 10's.

Not really hype but facts.

What they give up for nimbleness is made up for insane hp/torque.
