My C43 pics (finally took some)
I know it has been forever but I finally took some pics. This is after my fender bender, and its transmission ordeal. Playstation install and some other easy mods. I hope to arrange the pics in order.
I hope the link will work. Its to the flicker site where the pics are stored. Should be 21 pics HERE
I hope to take better pics later

I have same question as Kowalski: what front bumber to you have as that is defo not a C43 original
Also, where did you purchase your front AMG flat badge. Looks like it fits OK (not like mine until it had the diameter machined down). Love also the yellow fogs (thought they where full of rusty water)

Oh yeah the c36 bumper is more angular and geometric. That makes the car even more of a sleeper. Looking at my c43 bumper in silver its more sculptural and the line flows into the sideskirts.. Can't decide which i like better in silver. I think the c36 bumper is more classic but I prefer the c43 bumper in silver/white. In black or dark I may lean towards the c36.

I was thinking red on the black may look nice. I always liked the German firearms company logo Hk red on black.
The Mirror clips on to the existing mirror. I hard wired it and tucked the cord away. It tells you when a red light camera or speed camera is coming up. Its GPS data and updated. It can have a some radar detectors plugged into it to read on the mirror.
The time is shown when stopped, but will show speed as you move. Its pretty accurate. It also has a function to let you know when you go over a certain speed. Mine dings at 80 and has brought my led foot to my attention.Cheetah I found on Ebay for a lot less. They have non mirror devices too.
The mirror gice a wide view. I can see more and better for the kids in the back. I am happy with it.

In the pic of your console (climate control/radio) you are missing the tow alarm switch located in between the lock/unlock door switch and the seat heater switch (notice the perfect switch size gap). I would assume this means you do not have the tow alarm...
P.S. the pic with the fogs is crazy, it looks like orange fog lights

Ha! it does look kind of nice with orange on black
. No I don't have a tow alarm on the car. Its my 3rd W202 and I don't think any had it. I guess the alarm itself is enough.

It was a little difficult for the shop to put on. They had to trim it and make some mounts. Originally they told me they couldn't use it, after i bought it. I like the look. I wanted to maybe have a Euro vanity plate on it. (Black on Black letters) It looked a hell of a lot better with front state no plate but some bored MP cop was big on enforcing this serious crime.
