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!

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

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"

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

KJI3jflarryfe93

I don't have anything on my wheel well you are misstaking my car with the above (large pictures car on grass)

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?

It's mine.....

503C43 ////AMG

Whoooops my bad....... I was meaning to say that to my buddy DRBC43, he knows I was talking to him.

503C43 ////AMG

hmmmmm........ let me get this straight, A C280 that was built up will appreciate more than the first car fully made by AMG??? A car with production numbers of 5200 will appreciate more than a car with production numbers of 4200??? Doesn't make sense

DRBC43AMG

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

TunerPlayground

clean. you just reminded me that i never use my cargo net down on that side. haha

KJI3jflarryfe93

hey you rock steady cr3w!
you feel young when you drive your C43?
rip dat power rear iron curtain with dat power button and ship it to Schweden!
then my car will almost be fully loaded!

how many km's on your cluster?
my 99 passed 94,000km recently.

you drive your car with the 2nd gear starting?
check the button on the gear selector W/S.
Should be on S!

awidiarto

Did you change the interior trimming yourself? if you have it done by somebody, can you tell me where it is or where did you get the trimming?

KJI3jflarryfe93

juropean C43's comes with phoney CF trim.

awidiarto

Yeah man...i told my wife about that...she believe me, but after we saw the black with two tone....arghh...she want me to sell the silver and give me an OK for the black with two tone...otherwise, gotta buy an suv....arhhh

DRBC43AMG

Yours is a baby compared to mine as I'm closing on 206'000km now.
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

[QUOTE=PJmak;4121055]Ill get a set of those wheels sooner or later ^^


Some pics from me

PJMAK
two thumbs up for your car...is that 18"?

DRBC43AMG

So get the black one with two tone and tell her that she is responsible to clean the leather as two tone is fragile...

awidiarto

haha...it's not easy to get the black one that has pretty clean condition...

KJI3jflarryfe93

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

KJI3jflarryfe93

yeah I've seen it.
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!
miauuuuuu, miauuuuuu

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)

Wow cool conversions... I bet that celica was a BLAST!!! Why were you in japan

koich

The Celica was definitely a blast. Final ratio was changed too, so it had a vicious launch.

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...

Saaboteur

17s or 18s on the AMG right now?

F20C FTW!! My summer car is an S2k. I imagine the motor is substantially better in a car weighing less than the S2000.
