Nice car bro.

Mods to do if you haven't done it yet?
Lower it, seems kinda high in that picture.
Paint your grille black with plastdip, will look cool on a silver car.
Install 4 AMG illuminated doorsills
Buy 4 AMG door pins, replacing those ugly US style plastic golfpegs
Paint your calipers silver or red
Tint your windows or get a rearblind for you vehicle, powerblinds needs modification, manual blind is not available at the stealer anymore discontinued, but I can get a used one.
MB sport pedals

There are not many interior mods to do on a C43, it looks good from factory as it is.

You'll waste lots of cash on that car because it's addictive, prepare to be an AMG-junkie

cheapest way for you North Americans is to tint you windows, however on a Benz it doesn't look so cool, looks more like a ricer car with tint


you need switch, loom, new centre console, cutting your own rear parcel shelf if you don't buy a new one with precut hole for rear blind.
checkout pictures for cutout holes

I have for sale my old centre console cover in faux CF.
Wrapping all trim in CF looks will give you a cool interior

I hade mine fitted recently and by far is this the coolest mod I've done to my car, well worth the money.
now with a fully specced car I'm very pleased with her.

How much did you end up paying for the 5.4l? I am looking around and I can't find a good deal.

Thanks

Congrats! Keep us posted. I'm lookin around. My father inlaw/mechanic is working l. My suspension as we speak. Might be nice to find a 5.4l and shove it in there while he had the car up!

Here yu go Vladimir.
Start wasting your hard earned cash.
When you order them you have to tell Jerry you want sills with AMG logo.
