hi again to u all.

when i look at the pictures on all of yours C43s,many of these cars don't have all the factory options which european cars have like parktronic,side blinkers,bogus carbonfibre panel inside the car etc,etc.

my car came with the option packages.

xenon
boose hifi sytem+changer
black leather
ortophedic seats with pumping air
electric seats
sunroof
parktronic
folding mirrors with button
towing alarm system
centrallocking
cruise control
power windows
integrated phone in MBaudio 30
etc ,etc
onlything missing is navigation system and the rear shade for rear window.

my own tweaks on this car is.

brabus doorpins so good lookin
flat amg/affalterbach hood emblema
illuminated door sills with amg loggo
amg belt pads
amg gear knob
chrome gear frame
amg pedals
avantgarde grill
porterfield brake pads
painted the calipers in silver

 

Where did you get the AMG Gear Knob from ??

 

my '99 has the following:

xenon
boose hifi sytem+changer
black leather
ortophedic seats with pumping air
electric seats
sunroof
towing alarm system
centrallocking
cruise control
power windows

I think that's most of the stuff on that list, minus the weird euro options

hey buddy, i bought the gearknob from CARPARTSDISCOUNT.ZOOVY.COM
But i guess it's not a real amg gear knob,there is 1 apple to much on the tree in the logo, but the gearknob looks very cool, it's the fully chromed one with amg logo costed me around 85$$$$ i think, but it looks more cool than the original factory fitted knob. cheers

 

Chrome shift knob in an all wood and leather interior............nah

 

i wanna paint my wood to match the off white on the seats..
u prob have weird euro options like folding mirrors and stuff cause u live where roads are so much different,,, size, parking.... thats what im gessin... post some pics of u car man!

 

[QUOTE=C43AMG]Chrome shift knob in an all wood and leather interior............nah[/QUO


u got it wrong man. the euro specified cars don't have the ugly woodtrim that US cars have,we europeans have the fake carbonfibre look inside the car,it looks ok but no real carbonfibre and the gearknob i bought from the carprts website, matches the cooolfactor inside the car 2gether with the crome gear frame it looks mighty cool.

another thing i've noticed on US cars is about the doorpins,why are they so huge compared to eurospec cars>? man they dont look good on a c43. my friend who owns a tuning company on internet sells BRABUS/AMG/LORINSER styling parts,mostly brabus but he can find the others 2 sells brabus doorpins in chrome material,they are so cool in chrome finish.the site is

WWW.XTSD.SE

I bought several styling parts from him and i can tell u that he is supergraet,and i give him 2 thumbs up. by the way his name is ADAM.

 

[QUOTE=kowalski]Many thanks for the imfo, as you said we do have a much better interior than the USA.
