SLK32
New C32 Owner

The wife just got a mint Silver/Black 13K mile '02 C32 as a daily driver. She had driven the S4 and the the M3 SMG as well...I'm glad she picked the right car!!!!! Although as I prior SLK32 owner, how could you not?!

Anyway, planned mods are:

SL55 Y-Pipes with some good hoses(if memory serrves, Evosport was putting out some hoses).
Insulation of the airboxes with Thermotec sheets.
Euro bumper inserts.
Aluminum SLK pedals.
Removal of exhaust resonator(this sounded great on the SLK32 and was much more difficult).

Down the road, the Evosport Stage I or II when she wants more power.

Any mods that I am missing that would be good for a daily commuter?

I would love to get a clear 3rd brake light but can't find one. Any ideas?

Welcome to the board! Glad she made the right decision. Be sure to post some pics..

If she doesnt mind, I'd install some new springs or even coilovers.. will make the car look a lot sportier.

I got it for $36K with a second set of AMG wheels mounted with Blizzak performance snows. It was a good deal as the condition is mint.

I hear you...it does have that 4X4 look. Actually worse then my SLK32 which is amazing! We live in the city though so a harder and lower ride is a bit of a problem.

I had to sell my Lotus Sport 350 a couple of months back because it was impossible to drive it anywhere after we moved downtown.
