you have transplanted a 55 engine in your car?
are you located in Germany?
there was a similar car like yours with the same or similar front spoiler on youtube.
this dude had a kompressor in his car, he was making loud burnouts in his videos.
which parts did you use to integrate your w202 frontspoiler with c32 style spoiler?
you have parktronics so you can't be in the US!
this option was only for us europeans!
die pkw ist voll austatung?

Nice, but I think your alloys have a rash problem Honestly, I can't decide if the smoked windows fit in the overall picture

lovely car!
damn those factory 17's are ugly!
I'm glad I have 18 inch rims on my car now.
Your ride height seems to have the same ride height as my stock suspension kit from factory???
your caa is it stiffer n tighter on every corner?
do you notice more rattle inside the cabin after the switch for new suspension parts?
Take a look at my car's rideheight

eclectic assortment of cars
I know, it's nuts - my car just looks like it sits on Euro spec suspension! Bilstein sports (CLK spec'd), Vogtland springs, #5 pads front, #4 pads rear.
Tighter handling in the corners - I suppose. Honestly, I don't particularly care about ultimate handling with this car. I just wanted it nice and comfy and rid of the horrible wheel gap. Even with the new suspension, the car can't compare to the feel of my S2000 in the corners.

I just wish I could get rid of the 2 finger gap on rear and instead have 1 finger gap, and I have a 1½ finger gap up front which could be lowered just a bit.
Car is okey for factory ride height, I guess we now have the similiar height on our cars?
Do you worry about passing speedbumps?
Front spoiler is low and can easily get scraped?
Look ate these pictures and you know what I mean, I have seen this on several C43's, there are scratches under the bulging parts on the ends!
TAKE SOME NEW PICS WHEN YOU ARE KNEELING DOWN, take pics in even level in HQ mode!
I wanna see the rideheight perfect on your car.
It looks like your car is still a bit higher on rear axle than my car?

I guess there's no point for me to buy new lowering springs and shocks?

[QUOTE=Saaboteur;4393812]Bored, so I'll ***** out my car with some pix 
I this picture I cant help but notice your wheel is pushed toward the front of the car...
Have you checked your control arms and made sure they aren't bent? Looks like just this wheel is shifted very far toward the front...

ET35 all 4 rims.
5/112
8,5 wide front
9,5 wide rear
genuine split rims
pictures doesn't do justice, you have to see it live, car looks brutal n vicious with those rims!
I would never buy those rims if they didn't have the titanium bolts, this is what makes the car looks awesome!
Single piece monoblock V looks very different, something's missing on them and that's every bolt screwed on the rims!

C43 AMG 5.5 - 396.4HP
I saw you prefer to use Photobucket. So I registered and created some albums there too.
Here you can find some Fotos of my custom front spoiler:
http://s1122.photobucket.com/albums/...y24/C43-Front/
and it's making of:
http://s1122.photobucket.com/albums/...ont-Making_of/
The front is made by a Rieger W202 and a Rieger W203 front and some self created details. I needed to spend many many hours...
It was the first attempt in painting by myself. I need to do some practice and after some fine tuning I will try once again.
The plastic is fused with a soldering gun. inside the spoiler there is plastic fibre matrix (diolen) with aramid.
I also uploaded some other albums: Stearing wheel, enging swap...
My latest project is to upholster the interior with black alcantara and silver seam, bevore I will start to do the carbon fibre panels once again.
Just check my albums if you like:
http://s1122.photobucket.com/albums/l540/Popey24/
Yes I am from Germany but I am not the one with the compressor doing donuts.
My wheels are RH Turbo (Porsche Turbo look) with dimension 245/35-18x8.5 offset 24 front and 285/30-18x10 offset 27.

Guten abend Popaj24.
Die vordere felgen, you are using 245/35/18, do they fit perfect without any rubbing?
Recommended size is 225 up front.
So how is it to use 245 up front, any problems?

popeye, I saw your interior modifications, well the dashboard is blau on certain parts.
Very unusual design compared to the original squared design.
You have modernized your car in and outside.
I see you have the full komplett diebstahlwarnanlage mit innenraumssensoren.
I only have the abschleppschutz (towhook alarm), I have bought the innenraumsensoren, but I need to buy new B-säule verkleidung with cutouts for sensoren in schwarz und die komplette kabelbaum, do you know how to remove the B-säule verkleidung?
Also, is it only to install the missing parts and then go to MB verkstadt and integrate with MB STAR?

I'll try to snap some pix. As you must know living in Sweden, similarly to where I live in Canada, we have short winter days now. Sometimes I leave for work and it's dark, and then when I leave for home it's dark = sucks.
So far, I haven't scraped the front bumper at all, or much, but that's because I'm quite careful. That said, I haven't had any issues with speedbumps, but I generally always take them, or curbs, at an angle.
BEFORE it was lowered, my wife and my mother both scraped it I think. In fact, I think my Mom hit the bumper enough to break the reinforcement (which I bought new only in the spring!) so I am going to have to get another one of those soon.
As for ride height, I think it depends what you want. I think the Euro spec ride height is great. I wouldn't go much lower on my car merely because the roads are crap and I drive the car in the winter.

that's about $170 dollares I think?
if I buy these then I have to get new shox.
my factory shox aren't bad yet for 97,000km.
I'm in a dilemma here, b/coz I have bought the LPD autoparts polybushings and I also sourced the outer 2 piece bushings separately.
Putting these bushings on old MAYBE rusty LCA doesn't feel any good.
I want new LCA but they cost alot!

Well, my control arms are about 240,000km old, and they are in pretty good shape with minimal surface corrosion. Okay, you can notice it when the control arm is off the car, but it's not like it's falling apart. I sprayed the affected areas with a bit of rust converter and put them back on the car. Car has been fine!

Man! Those wheels are sick (awesome)!!! Since Porsches have a 5x130 bolt pattern, did you have to do conversion since the bolt pattern of MBs are 5x112?
