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.

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.

That is horrible... Car looks slammed why not just get an escalade with 26's so you can ride on "blades". The eblems are nice but the slammed look is ugly.

I noticed the Parktronic. Was that ever an option on the US-spec C32? I wanted to get it on my C55 but it was not offered.

Maybe W205 (19")? Similar to W203.

I've looked into this several times. Front PTS strip with the corner light. The part No. from MB though it exists, it is NEVER in stock. Many times I've been told the part is simply not produced. Clear markers can be obtained aftermarket... Europe is no exception :Y
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 ...

PTS parts: Sensors, strip, etc


Rear light with built in reading lamps and PTS rear display


Gutted car front


Pass door floor


Main computer


PTS main module on top of main computer


PTS Front harness


Sunman (left), awiner (middle), CynCarvin32 (right). The last two member are "incognito"


PTS Rear display.


PTS Rear display close up. New rear light unit comes with reading lamps


PTS Front display (on center dash grill)


PTS Front display close up (on center dash grill)


Dash strips with all buttons functional (second button from the left is the PTS swtich off)


New look on the front with Euro strips w PTS sensors (orange corner light went "bye bye")


Rear/side view of PTS strip/sensors

Wow! Could this be done on a C55 (i.e. I would guess there OEM parts available for the C55 if it was available as an option in some geography). Could you estimate material cost, install hours and level of difficulty (i.e. was there much cutting and splicing, etc., or was it a more plug-n-play affair)?

Nice work!

Norm
