2005 C55 Newbie

Hi All,

Long time reader but first post.

I have bought a 2005 C55 and love it. However I would like to add a few bits to it, rear diffuser, bigger AMG wheels etc.

Internet searching doesnt yield a lot!!

DMS seems great for the remap but can anyone else recommend a place that can provide and fit extras. I am not fussed about cost so much but more want the quality and this is for sure a keeper of a car - took me a long time to find!!

Thanks in advance for all your help!

Al

I don't think there's a good rear diffuser out there - although I think one is under development.

As for bigger AMG wheels, I think the only stockers that work with our offsets are the W209 CLK wheels, and specifically the 19" 5 spokes from the CLK63. There's someone on here who has them on a silver C55. There's a lot of options out there in the aftermarket though....

A member here made a pretty good carbon fiber rear diffuser with 3 fins (as opposed to the ebay 2 fins) but it is a little pricey, i think 480 or so. The ebay ones are cheap and only 2 fins.
