C43 AMG 5.5 - 396.4HP
Sorry no pic from yesterday. Forgot my mobile phone. But for me it was amazing to see that deep black colour on a W202 combined with the shape of those wide fenders.
I am curious to see it in sun light when the red/gold effect is visible...

That car looks awesome. You must be excited to put it back on the road! Can't wait to see it fully back together.

Agreed, can't wait to see it all put back together. I think it is still going to look slightly understated at first glance but then very muscular once you take a second look. Excellent job!

I have something for you... it is almost finished (you never finish fully)
With those W204 style mirrors you Need to pay attention... there is the Frame fixed with 4 screws to the mirror Body. But on Drivers side, the 2 outside screws prevent the mirror from showing the road, you can't move far enough out. You Need to remove the 2 screws and cut the case where screws are linked and glue the Frame to the mirrors body.

Popey, you've done a fantastic job of transforming your AMG into a muscular-looking beast! Absolutely stunning work on the fenders and front-spoiler! I'd love to have a new front spoiler like that!

All that work and a fresh paint job and you go and use a car wash with brushes!!

but looks astounding nonetheless. Would love some info on that diffuser. did you make that?

A work of art which could be befitting the MB Museum in Stuttgart Sindelfingen ...
Now some six pot Brembo brakes and BBS wheels would make a perfect finish

Where to start? The Italians or the Germans?
Nachher ich Ihre Endprodukt gesehen haben, muss Ich sagen, dass Sie haben einfach die beste C43 der Welt. Viel dank für die Bilder und viel Spaß mit Ihrem Auto!

Me too. They had a Station wagon that was almost finished on latest Pictures I know and the also did a sedan, but never found finished result of that one.
And I always wondered about the iron sheet they fixed on the border of the Fenders and then fixed the new Fenders to that iron sheet.
But I never found that iron sheet removed later, what ment that the wheel can not fit under the Fenders without touching that iron sheet.

So I needed to find my own solution starting completely different from the russion Project.

car looks nice, too bad you couldn't fit the last trim piece on rear fender arch to make the trim complete
