Is it gone from the picture (photoshop) or actually gone from the car? If so how did you achieve this? Aftermarket hood?

Stock hood had the Mercedes body shop remove the emblem and weld up with aluminum and repaint. I removed all the badges from the car this was the most difficult.

The BiTURBO 4MATIC badge, the rear badges and the grille badge was pretty easy for me. Nothing goo-gone, low heat and dental floss wouldn't remove. The grille badge was held by torx screws at least on the stock pre-facelift grille.

This was the facelift edition. There was a large hole where the emblem was. The rest was all dental floss and adhesive remover

Great spec overall, I wonder why the original owner pretty much fully loaded this thing but didn't spec ILS.

glad you're aware. Some people aren't. Added that in because they are attached differently than the pre facelift.. Some people aren't aware of this. I'm sure you are AWARE though. So this info was for people on the forum that don't have your extensive knowledge and awareness

Don’t know 🤷‍♂️ but I wish they had opted-in for AMG Performance Seats, perhaps having heating & cooling seats superseded having them?

But my predecessors did get Heads Up Display, which is nice to have!

It sure looks nice, it is rare because C 43 is usually used as a daily driver and the discomfort (apparently) adds up.

HUD on the other hand I heard there was a shortage back in 2017 to 2018. So you also got a rare feature.

Thanks much! I spent several months and allot of time on vin decoders before pulling the trigger on getting her 3yrs ago, lol 😝

I know a guy that has a ‘16 Edition 1 C63s, white with red accents and the red carbon fiber center console, and I’m going to ask him to meet up so I can see how different the performance seats feel. He loves the spec on my c43.

My plans for 2024 are to get forged wheels, e-class ambient air-vents from DMP Car Design, upgrade my Ash Wood center console to the OEM Carbon Fiber one I have from @olszowa12 and retrofit Apple CarPlay.

This is my "new to me" 2018 C 43
I love this car.
I love that it will eat a Mustang for lunch, but is also well behaved and subtle.
