Feeler f/s C55, black on black clean and modded

What's up guys, I'm putting a feeler out to see who is interested in my car
Its a 2005 C55 black on black
I've been on the forums for a while, just want to see if anyone would be interested.
Mods are the Renntech Airbox (same exact one done by CCD dyno shoot out, so you know it makes power)
And dual xpipe exhaust, second cat and res deleted
Car recently totally repainted because black fades so I decided to paint the whole thing, from Silver Star Mercedes
Car says accident, but only the right side reflector scrapped off, absolutely no serious damage.
Everything that has happened to my car is on these forums.
And a few people know me around

It's not a part out lmao
And mike has wanted my box for a while lol
Black fades quickly and one of the summers I went away and the car was left at granny's, half the car exposed the whole summer, so saw a difference in tone lol
So I just painted the damn thing
I also remember everything about the car, what was replaced/new lol
If anyone is interested!

They tend to blow out in these cars, the best thing to do is swap them for thicker gaskets like e55 ones
