It's 17inch. I'd like to run 18's like I did on my C200, but staggered.

F20C is probably one of if not the best 4 cylinder motor. Pure fury at 9000rpm.

DRBC43AMG

Ouhhh, they are seriously WICKED and go soooo well on the C43

bevy

you're totally right...here is mine...could not beat this ;-)

503C43 ////AMG

hmmmmmm..... is that an AMG?? Look at the steering wheel, it seems to lack the "AMG" logo and your shift knob has only the MB star. It looks like you have the rear screen, trunk release, side mirror adjustment, folding mirrors, and what is the switch on the far right???

bevy

for sure it's an AMG, but i have a complete DESIGNO interior, with blue tinted wood everywhere, also on steering wheel and shift knob, blue/black leather

Its the left button which is a mystery The right button is the rear window blind I agree, what happened to the AMG logo on the steering wheel and 'Sport' on the gear knob??

bevy

left button is the parking sensor switch off, no amg logo on the steering wheel due to the Full designo package...

503C43 ////AMG

UNREAL!!!! That is one of the rarest C43's EVER as you have every option I think including a color I have NEVER seen..... Whats with the V8 badge on the front quarter panel as well as the parking lights??? is that stock? I will say this.... I like my steering wheel better as it has the AMG logo as well as a thicker grip. Do you have a pic of the back of your car??

KJI3jflarryfe93

damn man!
your car is better equipped than mine!
scheize verdamt!

you have the full setup alarm system and the rear electric roller blind that's missing on my car!
eventually I will have to retrofit them, to make my car look even better and beefier.

your blue interior matches the outside very well!

koich

I strongly agree! Beautiful.

bevy

hehe, te only thing non-stock on my c43 are the v8 badge;-)
GPS, phone, steering wheeln shiftknob,...were factory installed

and yes every option on this c43,

HID headlamps with wiper/washer
rainsensors
parking sensors
autodipping inside mirror
electrical folding mirrors
rollerblind
adjustable steering column
bose sound system
courtesy lamps for front doors
illuminated sun visor
sunroof
...

and i'm completly mad of this interior

LawRens

Blue is Beautiful!

503C43 ////AMG

I AGREE THE BLUE MIGHT BE MY NEW FAVORITE C43 COLOR... SO RARE!!!
I also feel a whole lot better as I see you the "gap" between your rear bumper and the quarter panel like I do. I have posted another thread regarding the bumper alignment as I have reset my bumper 2 times trying to get the "gap" out. After the second reset my "gap" looks just like yours and if this BLUE BEAUTY has the "gap" I can live with it on my C43. You made my day.

P.S. You need to get rid of the V8 badge, not so hot in my opinion.

neshmn

lose v8 from side and car will be perfect

KJI3jflarryfe93

Backdoor open and I notice you have the pressmark from the sidearmrest!
I also have it on the rear drivers side!
Why is this pressmark on the leather only on random c43 cars?

KJI3jflarryfe93

took some pics

bevy

THanks guys for your comments !
I won't remove the V8 badges 'caus i like them ;-), and they are original MB parts ;-)

Kowalski, i don't know for the press mark ???

PS: Beautifull pics by the way ;-)

KJI3jflarryfe93

Thanks man.
Here is the picture.
I have the same pressmark on the leather on my left side rear bolster.
It's from the sidearmrest

LawRens

Actually, i think that if he blacks out the v8 side badges, they would look more stealth, and therefore far more acceptable. But then he should black out those sidemarkers too

I'd sure do it!

And i'm lovin those brabus monoblocks! I was in love with them for the longest time, lol

KJI3jflarryfe93

yeah they are real hardcore!
much better live to see them than in a picture

503C43 ////AMG

I have the press mark as well on the rear drivers side

cthirtysizzle

pjmak, your pictures are always amazing.


ps. I was gonna sell my silver c43 and buy that black one with two tone leather on ebay, but noticed the bumper was from a c230 sport right before I paid, so I'm still looking for a black c43 w/ two tone if anyone's interested in either selling one or maybe a trade for mine.

KJI3jflarryfe93

side bolster cushion lost it's shape!
if you open the other side backdoor and see the infected side then you see that the ending of the sidearmrest is touching the leather and over time there will be a pressmark on the leather!
I've seen other c43's having this pressmark on both sides, others like mine have it only on 1 side.
this feels strange on a midsized luxury car having random bad quality on certain parts!

DRBC43AMG

Love the 18" on a C43 as they fit the wheel well so beautifully and with a slight decrease in ride hight on top, gives the car an overall perfect stance IMO. Real mean looking. This will definitely be my future upgrade for wheels. They seem color coded with the car... Is this so?
