BoostedCayenne

Was offered some deals I could not pass up and ended up purchasing a 1999 C43 with 105,xxx on it for 8k....
Came with :
Powerchip
Rebuilt Alternator
OEM monoblock (never used)
Another spare full size monoblock
AMG pedal kit
Set of 4 bridgestone blizzaks with MB 5 spoke reps ( great shape)
2 sets of C43 mats and MB winter mats
Aftermarket head unit with rear deck speakers ( not installed)

Probably more I am forgetting.... Here are the two pics from the test drive:

Drove her for about a week and Crank sensor went bad....NBD replaced runs great

Got her home and let the modding began....first stop Perzan auto radio in Philly
1. Tint 20% all around
2. Cut the dash and relocated A/C Heat controls and installed a Pioneer AVIC Z140BT along with new door/dash speakers
3. Installed an unused set of (2) JL Audio 10inch W6's in trunk along with (2) unused Apline Amps ( came out of my old jeep and were just sitting)
4. Wrapped door pillars and all interior wood in 3M Matte finish Carbon Fiber Vinyl
5. Installed Passport 9500ci in rear view mirror


Then some DIY mods:
1. Ebay projector fog lights ( eventually painted surrounds black ) with HID kit
2. Ebay black grille
3. AMG flat hood emblem
4. Removal of front plate holder
5. Install Ebay LED tails

Then off the Brent Morgan Motorcars in West Chester PA for some more mods
1. Drop with Bilstien Sports and H&R Springs (1.4 Front/ 1.3 Rear)
2. Chopped off secondary cats + resonator, tucked tips closer into body
3. Replaced interior passenger door handle
4. New windshield
5. random bushings and other small maintenance items
6. Installed Carbon Fiber gauge surrounds
7. Installed AMG door pins
8. Installed AMG shift knob
9. Installed AMG pedal kit
10. Dent removal and full exterior detail
11. Sent the 4 best monoblocks out for refinishing...... black centers/polished lip

Ok....after all of this I love the car even more....put about 10,000 miles on her since May...now for some pictures!

THEN I picked up this 96 C36 156,xxx on the cheap, Doesnt run...havent had a chance to even look at the motor but looks like it might end up being a project/track car with an LS3 swap

Sooo, If anyone needs parts off of it....let me know....I will most likely not sell the bumpers, monoblocks and until we figure out whats up with the motor any of those parts....but interior is in great shape...black leather...hit me up if you need something

w202mylove

nice tatse in cars! love the way your c43 turned out! did it come stock without chrome trims on the bumpers?

BoostedCayenne

Thanks!! Yes the C43 did not have any of the stock chrome bumper trims....it also does not have the two tone interior ( all black) and cream headliner....I would love to see the original sticker for her, I have a feeling it was special ordered

KJI3jflarryfe93

so you don't have a white/grey headliner as the rest of the pack?

your c43 looks very special in a nice way.
did you tuck in your exhaust tips further in under the rear bumper?
does it look better than stock?
on c36 it looks hot with only a short tip pointing out.
can you take better pics of your c43 tips?
thanks

is that w124 500e your car?
i likeeeeeeeeeee that car.
i'd take that one over a c43 anyday

w202mylove

you like the 500E that much? good to know that, need to offer you buying one to trade it for your c43

KJI3jflarryfe93

For me a W124 Ist das eine und nur spitzenklasse when it comes to 500E/E500 cars.
Somehow I regret not buying a 4 speedo E500!!
Slap me in the head makin' that mistake!

w202mylove

Hm I would have a hard time choosing between c43 and 500e. However an E60w124 HAMMER would be amazing! srry for the oftopic op.
Ontopic: the op's 124 300e with brabus exhaust must be a nice car to cruise

Texas993

Hey boosted. Very nice fleet!

You mention selling some parts. I need some tail lights. Do you have any from either car. Also, what did you get for the LED tail lights? Mine are slightly deformed due to melting near the brake light bulbs. Have any for sale?

I will post up pics of my car soon. I am fixing the oil cooler seal leaks and baselining all the plugs, gaskets, fluids, etc.

Mine is a '98 C43 with 44k miles!

ProjectCamaro

Wow, incredible cars and congrats on the new 202 as it look amazing with your mods.

BoostedCayenne

Thanks!! We did tuck the tips on the 43 in a bit more....i felt like they stuck out too far when stock...and I will take more pics asap

unfortunately the silver 500E is not mine, its a good buddies, original 40k miles.....so friggin clean and my mechanic and him claim it feels faster then the 43....but we will have to line them up soon!

BoostedCayenne

I dont have any LED tails for sale, but have both the 36 and 43 stock tails for sale if your interested!!

My Leds are just the smoked Ebay tails.

Damn a C43 with 44k miles!! thats gotta be one of the lowest in the world

BoostedCayenne

No worries, this is whats its all about!

the 300E really is a fun car, my dad bought it new in 93, got my license in that car....as well as a couple other firsts hahaha

We ended up pretty much straight piping it to the brabus muffler and its loud, but sounds amazing IMO, for how little i drive it...its fun to just rip around and its starting to end up with a ton of mods..... still drives perfect even with 197k on the clock!

BoostedCayenne

Thanks!!

Should have mentioned I have some parts on order as well!

VIS carbon hood / Carbon Creations trunk

Carbon eyebrows

H&R sways for the 43

and i think i just bought another set of headlights and C36 skirts today as well hahaha

Texas993

PM sent. Thanks!

C_DirtyTwo

love what you did with the 43! and so quickly! looks great

KJI3jflarryfe93

500e must be faster than a c43

btw
you got pm, check upper right corner

trinitony

Nice cars!

You remind me of somebody I know. Maybe he will chime in.

C43AMG

Just a question..if you just jumped into the game and completed all these mods over the last few weeks how are the leaves and all the green foliage in pennsylvania still in bloom...LMAOLive in N.J. and the trees are bare and everything green is brown in december.Did anyone else notice this..IM JUST SAYING IN GOOD FUN...

DRBC43AMG

Good observation. I hadn't noticed either

99C43n843

Ok....after all of this I love the car even more....put about 10,000 miles on her since May...now for some


in good fun as well...if you clearly read the first post...after the list of the finished mods he said "its been 10k miles since may since he got it". so that being said he must now of just uploaded all the pics and given time for all the mods to set in before posting this...just saying. I got a silver w/ black and silver interior 99 c43 w/ 130k. got it in august. in the first two weeks I lowered it with h&r sport with bilsteins, clear corners, steering wheels re-painted, all monos prof. refinished, res deleted(just not did the sec. cats), replaced all major seals and gaskets...rear main, valve covers etc, plugs wires, k&n's, and im sure a bunch more im sure im missing. id say I jump into the benz/amg world head first lol. but I must say I love the car. it also helps that I have a full mercedes dealer shop to my using anytime I want for free as im a mercedes/amg dealer tech haha.
