mmmm don't think that's a real 2000 model.
I think 2000 comes with a special extra button next to trunck one..
am I wrong?
+ they come with stock avant guard grill, wich this one doesn't seem to have either.

The wheels are correct for factory wheels for MY00 and it has the manual shift feature, which is also a MY00 only feature. Every thing I see indicates it is a 2000 Model Year C43.

Avantegard grill? Maybe, maybe not. Let Trinitony chime in. I think he has a model year 2000.
As ECTurboGSX said, it has the manual shift feature and is only available on the 2000 models.
I'd guess he's the original owner and must have paid close to $58k for it back in the day. That is definitely a keeper. If I find a 2000 model, I'd keep it too.

Even though the monos and the CLK wheels are physically the same dimensions, the CLK wheels have slightly more negative offset so they are closer to the fenderlip in the rear, not much but slightly.
The fronts are a different story- the CLK's are +37 in the front vs +32 for the monos (I'm going strictly off memory so forgive me if the exact numbers are off) so they are slightly tucked in more....
Either way looks fine to me
