Thanks, the staggered 18s came on it, but the rears don't have that slight inward inset like others I've seen. Is that likely just a factor of the wheel style?

This is a nice looking design for AMG rims
Rear wheels should have had a wider lip.
Are fronts the same size as rears?

I have owned this car for about two years, and still love to just walk around and admire the taut lines... Here’s a tuxedo shot, and my recovered sunroof slide. sorry for the crappy iPhone photos, I’ll take some better ones soon, with a real camera.


Alcantara cover

Custom Cocomats

You can officially count this one as "running"

This one is still very much up and running despite having over 310k km on the clock. Need to get her out on the road, but as I have moved and she's still at her old home 3 hrs drive away, it's a bit difficult for the moment. I'm working getting a stable closer by to where I now live

Ok great we have narrowed it down around 9 members posted plus myself , if your a member and have a c43 post it up let’s hear from you guys with running c43s
On another note been seeing lots of low mile ones popping up for sale , looks like there’s more low mile c43s then expected still out there

Yeah, I noticed that also. Just wonder if they are real low milers or ones with manipulated odometers

No chrome and just ceramic coating on the paint

I don't think ceramic coating alone would get those lips to shine like that. You must have had them polished first and then ceramic coated them to seal the finish. That way you never have to re-polish the lips!

Oups my bad didn't realize you were talking of the lips. Yes they are polished, varnished and ceramic coated.
