finally got our c55
After close to a year I think we found the right one.
Bought it from a member here(greekspec2) super nice and knowledgable guy. Its a two owner super clean and serviced car. Easy 10/10 exterior and interior.
Mods:
-kwv2
-19 OZ with brand new pzero neros
-big brakes(brand new)
-genuine euro bumper(also included the stock one)
-folding mirrors
-euro cup holder
-euro ac command with the lcd
-brand new floor mats
-factory blutooth
Probably missing something...
Here are a few quick pics for now.

Riddle me this, so the cupholder has a vent for heat or a/c for your beverage? Ok, cool as heck. But, does that HVAC controller still need both sides set separately or can one button control both temps? I have a line on one, but between that question and the loss of the run-on feature when you're running quick errands, I'm not sold yet.

I thought he as talking about the dual ac control for left and right side of the car lol. Is the car even supposed to have a cooled/heated cup holder? Thats a bit overkill imo lol

I noticed you have PTS disorder
it's the parktronic sensors on your bumpers, it's short for PTS
das H/K in the W203 sound better than the w202 BOSE audio system?

Its got the sensors but it needs the wiring harness and some sort of module. Im gonna look into making it work. It also has the interior lcd on top of the dash thats for the PTS
I have to say it sounds better. It has the surround sound option in the menu as well.

Thanks
Yes it does have rear PTS but they are not wired in. Im gonna see if this is something that can be accomplished without any custom wiring work coz Im definitely not trying to do that.

The mod also requires the speaker looking thing with mesh on top of the dash to be upgraded to one with an lcd screen which the previous owner did as well.
The euro front bumper also doesnt have side markers as you might have noticed in the pic above

Yep - no W203 USA models had park assist. If you have the sensors and displays you're a good way there. It's relatively easy to see if the sensors are connected via wiring harnesses - the ECU is mounted (or should be per OEM install location) near the driver side rear shock tower. One ECU should do both front and rear. I did the rear install - not bad at all. Front is a whole different animal.
