parcktronics are buzzing sensors when you paralell park so you don't hit the car infront of you and at rear!
there are display sensors on dashboard and rear parcel shelf
cool gadgets you yankeeeees didn't get!
to bad!
when looking on your centre console pictures they look kinda bald with no hair on it, if you know what I mean!
there are lots of cheap equipped c43's in europe the same as US version cars that only came with stock factory options,
a c43 must have lots of factory gadget buttons on the centre console in the car, it makes the car look more special.
only retrofit gadget I have is my new MB cd-deck navigator
the rest is factory fitted

folding mirrors comes in handy if you drive on a narrow street where there are obsticles on both left and right side when you are passing through!

P.S. no offense but you NEED to take off the black things on your wheel well, they don't look so hot.

On one hand I agree as I LOVE special gadgets but on the other hand as I am QUICKLY learning, the less I have to break on this car the more $$$$ I will save as MB LOVES to bend you over when it comes time to fix/replace said "special gadgets"

I think US C43 cars looks kinda naked about options.
It's strange that CLK 55 or E210 55 AMG were better well hung and not the C43?

So, by popular demand 
here are some shots of the inside of my C43. As I said previously, it is not a show car but a well used and appreciated one

I chose the 'W' setting for potting around town as the 'S' setting can be a bit violent when accelerating and not paying attention and I don't want to shunt up the backside of the car in front of me
CF look alike trim was standard on European C43's

don't use colored pants, the color will rub off and disscolor your seats!
at least what I imagine will happen?
also your steering wheel will fade out and loose the white color and it will look like crap when it gets worn!
i've seen several 2 tone c43's and many had an ugly worn steering wheel on the contrast trim!
dirty hands will give you a dirty sterring wheel

if you buy the bleck c43 with 2 tone interior, you will always need to wear white pants!

the above contrast leather part on the steering wheel is prone to get worn!
rubbing issues peels off the color on the steering wheel when the car gets older.
that's why a full black steering wheel looks better even when it gets worn.
bleck is more of a discrete color.
I noticed you have a few scratch marks on your steering wheel, on the right side part.
looks like somebody forgot to cut their claws!

1998 Black Opal C43
Here's some pictures of my C43. Just purchased it and getting working the small issues out. Large issues are so far taken car of (A/C and Tranny oil leak).
Nothing special. As I wrote in a previous thread, I'm not too keen with the wheels. Probably will hunt for Monoblocks later.
This was my 2nd W202. I had a C200 in Japan which I played around with just a bit:
But I think I'm more well known for the following cars:
1971 Celica with S2000 Motor (Photos by Scott Duke) unforunately SOLD.
Entire build is here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/koich/sets/1518562/
1994 Miata track/canyon racer (when I was in Japan)

Why was I in Japan? Because I'm Japanese? Is that a good enough answer? lol
I've been traveling back and forth between the US and Japan ever since I was 2 years old...
