Looks pretty good..If I don't run a BBk setup then I might just get the calipers powdercoated..easier to clean and should last longer.

Looks great but personally I would paint the "///AMG" logo in a contrasting color - say black.

Standard OE C43 front disk is not cross drilled.

Their front disk size are the same as CLK55 (W208) and E55 (W210).

e320Newbie...

You would still need the heat resistant black paint, a small brush and a steady hand....OR... next time leave the ///AMG unpainted - go to ToysRus and buy some paydough. Shove it into the ///AMG indentation and then scrape of the residue with a knife. Paint the caliper, wait for it to dry and then carefully pick out the play dough with a nail or something similar. The AMG will then contrast against the painted caliper

exactly..


In the past there was thread about a C43 owner who was offered a claimed authentic AMG crossdrilled for his C43..from his mechanics.. (I think it was Marc (a.k.a Tump43) if I am not mistaken)

And turns out the rotor was drilled after the fact. Daimler/AMG never issue cross drilled rotor for C43....


Even 2002 CLK55/2002 E55 doesn't have their front disk perforated

Here in Switzerland you can drive 50 mph on the autobahn for the next 2 weeks because we got some air pollution problems. I hate Diesel engines!!!
