My 98 C43

Here is my 1998 C43. What do you guys think? Good or Bad, let it rip. It has no mods except for K&N filters.

Agreed. Also, a grill like the one in svt ricco's sig would make a massive difference. What do they call them S600 grill? Advantgarde (sp?)?

I'm not sure I could ever come to terms with having non-amg wheels on a C43.

Why not have these shipped up from atlanta? They've been for sale for a while, and are only $600 with acceptable tires included.

Craigslist is the ultimate for finding OEM used Mercedes/AMG wheels. I am constantly perusing these listings for the southeast. SeeKlasse knows that these look petty sweet on a C43, see below for pic of his car that had them:

I know, I would really like to have some new rims but that is what came on the car when I bought it. Where is the best place to look for the S600 Grill?
