I dont personally like supercharged or turboed setup bro

Im all about n/a and id wanna keep the engine oem even if i had the funds to do a ls1 swap or anything that would probably cost a lot more so m113 is the only option for my swap

Here are a few quickies of the 280 and you can see the damage on the 43 in one of the pics. The 280 has been sitting so its really dirty

22 X3, 21 330e, 97 M3, 97 C36 (sold), but on the hunt for a clean, low-mile C43!
You said you always wanted a red C36/43, right? So sell your C43 and pick up this badboy!~

While you have V6 M112 with tiptronic, why not swap it to 3.7l from W220 S350 or W163 ML350,

then put MAF & T/B & Injectors from V8 M113 with ECU tuning, you will gain around (209kw), approx. 280hp,

it's fantastic mod...

While your 43 is parked, let me use your rims first! I wanna change the look on my car for a while. I'll buy my own set of tires if you're worried about yours. I'll give you my stocks in the mean time. What do you think?

Do you have more pictures of the 43 with the headlights you have on it? Are they stock and you painted the insides black, or are they aftermarket?

that would be as easy as trying to make the 55 kompressor work in the c43. Won't work well.

i regularly browse for 202 amgs on cl and i saw that a few days ago. Not gonna have money for that but im hoping one day ill run into a red one for cheap that needs a bit of work. Would be nice to own a red one. My sister has a red 98 c230

my brother had a 99 c280, sister had a 99 c230 now a 98 c230 and i had a 94 c280, 95 c36, and now this 00 c280

As you can see we love 202s

you k ow what ill have to check if they are stock or not coz my friend owned this car for a year or so before i bought it back from him and i believe he replaced headlights

all i know is that i painted the inside plastic piece black my self. Its normally either chrome or white. Really common and simple mod on 202s. I think many people have done it

pop the lens off and pull out the plastic piece and just spray it black works well with smoked corner lights

I just had my foglights out and painted the plastic that is grey inside of them, black.

That made a huge difference, I always didn't really like the look of them, always looked a little cloudy or just not clear, even though the glass is new. Painting them black inside made a huge difference.

I've never had a problem with the way the headlights look. I'll look at them more though and see if I'd think they would look better in black. I could always use plasti-dip in case I didn't like it.

Ok, I had to take the foglight out today anyway so it worked out. Unfortunately my camera battery died out there, I was lucky to snap the one picture. I would have liked to take more pictures to show the dis-assembly, but it's really easy and I'm sure you can figure it out.
I can get some pictures of the car with them installed. I really like the difference, I just never liked something about those foglights before but couldn't put my finger on it, til i realized it was that light grey plastic that is in there just making the whole thing look kind of dirty or cloudy.
You could probably also paint it with some of that spray chrome. But I chose black, looks very nice once installed and back in the car.

Here is the only picture I got off. it's with the lense off and that guts out. It's now black, used to be a light grey. If you look through your fog glass you'll see what I'm talking about.



Note if you have the aftermarket fog lamps made by "eagle eye", they use some kind of glue or plastic weld to seal the front lense glass, very hard to remove this glass to paint without destroying the lense.
