My C43 - (newbie)

What's up to all my fellow AMG, W202 owners. I just want to share a couple pictures of my C43. Let me know what all of you think. (It's my first post, so mods, if this is not the right place please move). This is a great forum from what I've been reading and it's helped me out a great deal and now I hope to do the same.

Thanks SeeKlasse. Actually they are 19 inch E63 AMG replicas, The actual E63 AMG wheels are 18 inch. The optional C63 19 inch and the 18 inch E63 wheels look very similiar.

Here's a little bad. Wheels are to big for a small car. Look at the rear wheel, makes the back rotors look tinier than what they already are. I think 18's are just right for these cars. Of course thats just my 2 cents, that you asked.

Car looks great man! I really like those wheels, different approach to the huge lip look thats become so popular. I do like the huge lip look also. Nice work.

I would look into getting your door handles painted silver to match....I've been meaning to do mine for 2 years but I'm lazy.
