Could someone please post up the P/Ns for the euro sunglass tray and the optional coin tray with cigarette lighter that replaces the ash tray and tiny coin tray. Can't seem to find them anywhere.

C43 AMG is a high performance car. it is different from other C-class cars. it has full complement of Mercedes-Benz safety-equipment.

I thought that was a little inexpensive to be genuine CF. It looks great regardless and I ordered one earlier today.

I have the same one mounted on "T Rex" which is silver. I also have a black slat on my dark blue C240 wagon. I don't think the CF one would have looked nice on the dark colored one

I thought that I would add this to the list. I purchased my last set of Vogtland springs for my '99 C230 for $148 USD from them. They were having an overstock sale a few years ago on certain model#'s and are quite a bit cheaper than Vogtland na. The C43 lowering springs are only $211.49 USD compared to $249.99 USD and their lowering kits are $659.87 USD compared to $779.99 USD. They always have frequent sales so it is best to check their site periodically.

I just did a complete interior (except vanity mirrors) and license plate LED swap with LEDs from superbrightleds ... The result is just great. You get rid of the yellowish interior lighting and get a pure white (not ricer) LED lighting which looks amazing at night. I got many compliments from friends... It's a very cheap and easy to do mod. It cost me about $25 for 2 dome lights, 1 map light, 1 rear seat dome light, 1 glove box light, 2 license plate light, and 1 trunk light.
This week, I also got a complete HIDs conversion for both the headlights and fog lights. I went with 8k 55W HIDs and it's definitely not too blue like people often describe it. It looks perfect and you definitely get people's attention. It cost me $240 for both headlights and fog lights with a 1 year warranty for parts and labor.
Here is a pic showing the difference in lighting inside the car (not even at night).

Otherwise, I think I'll keep the tail lights as they are, it does not bother me for now and they look OK. But it's true that yours look really good.

I actually based my mods on what you did and your posts. I remember reading that the vanity mirrors were a PITA to change so I did not really look into it. I did not find any DIY for them but I will definitely look into it. Any specific info/recommendation on that?

C43 Suspension options
Here's a quick list I made of all the popular aftermarket shock and spring products for our car. Just thought it might be useful to someone seeing part#s and prices all in one place. If someone has a cheaper price for the H&R club kits let me know, because those prices are from their website and I think they're high.
Non Adjustable, Smooth Body
PS7100NA.......................................... ....$205.00 x4 = $820.00

Never heard of them before, and the prices are inquiry only, but sounds interesting.

C43 - S/C Kleemann
Well fairly new to the Forum, but finally getting back owning a MB.
But thought the forum might be interested in the Mods I'm having done.
Brakes: Large Brembo brake upgrade (6 piston 14" front 4 piston 12.9" rear)
Wheels: Two piece 19" AMG Wheels (from Sl65) 19x8.5 (f) 19x9.5 (r)
S/C: Kleemann
Headers: Kleemann /w sport cats
Suspension: H&R /w Billstiens
When I get home more to come that I plan on working on myself.
Still deployed and can't wait to get home to see it and drive it.
Here is the fb page from the guys doing the install with pics:
