Welcome and congrats! I would recommend you visit the W202 forum for your ride. A member is did a absolute awesome job from front to back on his AMG C43, and you'll be in good hands.

Welcome! Would be good to know what you have in mind in terms of what changes you would like to make. There's not a lot of off the shelf options due to the relatively small quantity of W202 AMG's out there, but it can be done with some diligent research and creativity. If you search through this forum, you'll find members who track their car on the Nurburgring, a member who swapped in a supercharged E55 engine, quite a few with naturally aspirated E55 engine swaps, some members who are keeping near 300k mile versions up and running, and a lot in between.

12' W204 C63 AMG coupe "T-Rex", 12' W451 Smart Fortwo Pulse (99' W202 C43 AMG sold)
Welcome aboard! I owned a 99' C43 for more than ten years or so. Sold it with around 330k kms with no major problems or traumas. Moved on to a W204 C63 which obviously I love, but the C43 is certainly missed...
As mentioned by several members, the most common upgrade is with the M113 55 engine. Gives that extra umph!
