nicemaybe spacers in the back? those wheels look nice

 

Thanks, their only 8" all around and I already have 20mm spacers in the rear, i think 25mm will bring it to the fender, its almost there!

 

Just a couple iPhone snapshots taken before I took her to a car show tonight! She's for sale by the way

 

BREATHLESS! This will be my new desktop background!

 

my friend with his manual swap c36 and my 43

 

Here's my '98 C43, test fitting the E55 wheels I purchased.

Need to get new tires before I actually run them on the street. Front and rear bumper needs a spray job too. Previous owner seemed to park-by-feel often....

 

Nice catch on the 18" monoblocks; I can never seem to find any for sale...

 

I felt the same way too, but I posted a WTB on the classified section of this forum and a seller reached out to me... a year later! He was running it on his C36 which he ended up selling.

If you really want a set, cast your net out. Post WTBs, keep your friends informed. There's a lot of E55s out there, so someone is bound to swap out their wheels.

 

Mmmm that's low. I dig

 

Thanks for the compliments guys! I think it's really plain jane, but it's my daily driver, so this is good enough.

 

Just changed the valve cover gaskets on the c43, and snapped a few pics of the timing chain, rockers and (somewhat) clean valve covers for your viewing

160k miles and the valve rockers still look brand new

 

are you going to black out your valve covers?

 

I was thinking about it, but because of time constraints I only was able to clean them before putting the covers back on.

 

I hope you didn't clean the valve covers in the washing machine...

 

My 2000MY c43 amg next my brothers E55

 

for you my friend Sultan

 

Nice collection!

 

Some more pics of my c43 that I took now its night time here and the car needs a good wash , but that's something for now

 

One more

 

habibi, I thought you said your car was a 00?
must be a 99 with old style rims and no gear indicator in cluster.
you have 1-2-3-4-D-N-P shift.

 

Nope it's a jap spec model year 2000

 

i don't see tiptronic display next to your clock.
you have the old style AMG rims.
2000 had other rims

which one do you have of these 3 different centre console trims:
black wodden trim (Japan) - brown (USA) - fake carbon fiber (euro style)?

 

Check this out a 2000 with no tiptronic

Weird... no tip, no tip cluster, not 00' wheels, and pre-1999 style radio?? It's got some really nice designo stuff though, I really dig that wood (just not matched with the red) but I'd venture to say it's not an 00'. I'd question yours a little too. I'd run that VIN just to be sure.

 

car can be registered in 2000 but the black c43 in this link is not a c43 last year production car.
it's an 98 with old style radio.
many c43 cars in germany were registerd late, it doesn't make them a geniune 2000 tiptronic car
