So going tomorrow on a 16 hour drive round trip to pick up a silver C32 with black/blue 2 tone seats. Been waiting to find a C32 to replace my daily smoke silver Cossie 190 I just sold, and I love the blue/black seats so much I decided to pick this one up even though i would prefer a black one. You can expect the same ridiculous drop, performance, and appearance outcome of all my Cosworths. Already got the carbon fiber addiction im gonna unleash on this car, so looking for a front lip, trunk lip, rear diffuser (will be going C55 style quad exhaust), and carbon fiber interior trim (if I cant find some, I will be having my girl wrap the interior trim in real CF). Now the car is an 02 and I hate those damn style headlights so can anyone tell me a good place to buy the 03 style ones at the best price? Also how are the Depo lights for 203s? Have some depo euros on one of my 16Vs and cant tell the difference from the OEM Bosch Euros I have. Any help to find any CF pieces is greatly appreciated. Also going to be looking for a code3 SC pulley if anyone knows of one for sale before spring I will be CF'd out and should have all the engine mods done with nothing under 400hp to the crank (clearly necessary for a daily).

Also got some brand new im box 2 piece Brabus V 18" 8.5/9.5 to slap on this baby. Had them on my C36 and are my absolute favorite rims of all time.

My silver C32 inspiration.....

If these headlights are Depos im sold on em

Welcome to the W203 section
Love both of your 16v's

Anyways the Depos look similar to the stock OEM
Many here have done the conversion themselves so i assume they look very similar.
I don't think you will have a problem with the DEPOs

Where about are you picking up this C32?

AMGC

PA.
Cant wait to get it back home. Gonna have it slammed an hour after it gets into my garage.
And my girl does bodywork/painting for a living so itll be wetsanded, buffed, and waxed before the weekends through. Just ordered new badges all around and gonna have her paint them flat black

wow a girl that can do all that. impressive.

AMGC

You should see her S10. Bought it as a 700 dollar rotted/rusted piece of junk in 3 colors and the thing is absolutely perfect with custom blue paint. She did all the work. And the engines my job

I have depo's too, they look *****...but the light output is pretty bad IMO, but for the price you cant really beat it

AMGC

looks like Ill be going with depos. Thanks guys. Cant wait to start modding the 32. Been over a year since Ive had an AMG and cant wait to get back in one. Friend just confirmed hell drive down to get it with me, so Ill be making a mini vacation out of this. Anyone know of any good bars and places to crash near Philly? Figure that'll be the spot we finally stop till sunday and have a few too many drinks

AMGC - congrats on the new addition... that C32 you posted is actually my car before parting it out... To give you some directions of what:

Front CF lip can be bought for around $200 from vendors here...

Rear CF lip - many vendors already have the AMG style... I had to send my original C55 AMG lip overseas to get it CF'ed... it was a $600 project back in the day. You can grab a new aftermarket one for around $100-$150.

CF diffuser - same deal, vendors here or ebay... should be around $200. Fitment isn't OEM but it looks 95% perfect in my scale.

CF engine covers, interior trim & shift knob - all OEM parts sent overseas. I don't recommend doing the boxes as these will get damaged in the heat. You might want to stick with the girlfriend plan.

Front grill - got it in Germany. The company that makes it is Mattig ($300-$400 back in the day).

Stage 1 - just go with a reputable vendor (EC, evosport, kleemann) and expect to pay $1,200-$1,400 for a Pulley, HE/JP30 & Tune combo.

A drop and some wheels - plenty of choices here with a $1,500 budget.

In the lighting department, you can replace your fogs, bixenons and blinkers for around $1K with all OEM parts from ebay or the classifieds. Patience is needed to find the right deal. I have no experience with depo lights but members seem satisfy.

Other minor mods for a few hundreds are flat hood emblem, black out emblems, orange parking light covers, blue piping floor mats, led license plate bulbs and a tint.

After all this, things start getting a little more expensive and not worth it IMO on this car... I went with headers, full exhaust conversion, quaife lsd, modified intercooler, plugs, wires, clk cluster, folding mirrors, etc... My recommendation is to stop at the $5K mark and enjoy the car for what it is - A great 400 HP daily driver that looks classy, understated and comfortable.

Good luck and post pics when you are done.
