Hello everyone! I just purchased a 2002 C32 AMG for a great price I am looking to upgrade the headlights due to them being all foggy looking and I really don't like the whole one piece look. I seen on a C32 in a picture where the car had upgraded headlights that gave the look of the headlights being a separation in between each light. Not sure if you guys understand me but any recommendations is greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the forum! Congrats on the C32, I'm sure someone here can help you with those lights if they are out there.

Thanks ghiaguy! I look coward to meeting MB enthusiasts and learning all the possibilities of producing more horse power and mods.

Welcome , what was the price and mileage of your car?

Welcome aboard. Although our cars are aging and many of the original enthusiasts have moved on to other cars, there are still some of us old-timers around that love what this model is all about.

Mine is still my daily driver and brings a smile to my face every time I accelerate away from the rest of the traffic.

I can't think of any C32 East Costers at the moment but, look for some guys to meet up with. There are some truly good people here.

Congrats! This car still brings smile for me every time I put the pedal to the metal.

Is the car stock? Mods are abundant and affordable for C32s now.

@bobC32 AMG I PAID 5,500. It has 104,000 on the dash. Vehicle is prestige. Practically stole it of some very wealthy guy in CT who bought it for his daughter. When he realized the power, he parked it up Untill one day decided to sell

@ddtham yes the baby is stock and I am looking to get more power out of her. I was thinking of starting with needswings cold air intake and a 185mm pulley kit. What do you think?

BobC32AMG

That is one of the sickest deals ever, you could sell it easily for double the money!!!? Nice job:, just curious, how did you came across the car then, was is it on CL??

ddtham

185 pulley is great! You should definitely get the tune and pulley saver kit though.

If I was to do it all over again, I would focus on cooling system upgrades first to ensure longevity and performance consistency. So, do Johnson IC pump, heat exchanger and iso kit first, then go for exhaust upgrades, headers, resonator and secondary cats delete. Next would be DCAI, pulley and tune.

I think you got an awesome deal on the car, C32 would probably bottom out at around 7K. One thing to remember about C32 with that kind of miles is the likelihood of leaking intercooler.

Good luck and have fun!!

Yuh that's a steal. I thought I got a good deal when I bought mine for $8500 w/ 110K.

"I can't think of any C32 East Coasters" I'm in Maine, I haven't seen another one of these cars north of Boston.

@bobC32AMG yes I found it on CL. The vehicle had some small surface rust but very minimal. Everything else is mint. Love the car already.

@ddtham definitely appreciate your expertise advice. I was doing research and you are dead on with doing cooling first. I going to post pictures soon and keep C32 world updated on my progress.

type "w203 headlight cover" on google images and you can find those covers. I really don't know anything more about them though.

or try the general w203 sedan forum section.

goodluck with your C32.
