Pics of a cool C32 from the Nurburgring
I snapped these pics of a C32 I happened upon at the Nurburgring this past summer. Does anyone know where to get the badges and the wheels on this car? The dealer can't seem to find them as AMG parts.

C215 rims? Are those from the CL? I asked a couple of days ago about using them on a C32 and someone said it was not possible.
Yeah, the car was a little slammed. We passed it on the track latter (sorry no action shots) and it was literally bouncing around because there was way too little suspension travel.

It's so funny, the euro people buy clear side markers, and we buy the euro impact strips! haha

Damn, that car is slammed
I like that AMG badge a lot, i've never seen it before. The car has a nice exhaust also, it's a little difficult to tell, but anyone know what brand it is?

These look exactly like the AMG wheels I put on my SL. I bought them from Tire Rack. I believe they have a 203 model designation.

nice car. i like the badges but agree with FrankW, doesn't seem that they are official. they remind me of the "AC-Schnitzer Driver's Collection" badges which many people put on BMW's. they do look great but are not an official product, i think.

Did anybody else notice the front bumper strips? Parktronic with clear US side markers on a German licensed car. Everybody over here says those can't be had together plus german cars don't come factory standard with the side markers.

What I have seen, as in the picture sample below, is several cars that have the PTS strip withthe corner light, however those are converstion kits... somewhat like the custom built door sills that Harris makes for MBs where an OEM part os modified with the LED in within the sill itself, same with the PTS front strips, I've seen kit conversions.
From the first pic below, the parts for PTS are parts 60 and 70 respectively --see the picture-- (left and right). When you click on those parts in EPC, a whole list of possible combinations show up, (reg strip, withthe chrome, reg strip + pts, with the chrome + pts)
Parts 65 and 75 --see the picture-- (left and right), though are listed in EPC, they are simply not avaialble

Wiedermann: Your signature answered my question about Parktronic being available on the US-spec C32. Seems strange that it would not be an option on the C55. Oh well ...
