1999 C43 AMG
Hi

Hello

I am from the UK and drive a 1999 C43 AMG.

I have some parts for sale which would help anybody thinking of doing some retro fits on their own W202.

Looking forward to being a member of this forum!

Matt

Hi and welcome!

I see you are off to a great start with a photo of your car and a Ad in the Market Place. That is a very clean looking 1999 MB!

Hi Bob.

Thanks. It is very nice from what you can see. I have it booked in for the beginning of September to replace the sills, then it will be very nice underneath too! There is some rust left in the battery tray area which will need to be sorted next year.

I do love the car though!

I had the steering wheel and gearknob retrimmed for my xmas present last year. And the seats are not the original set, but I do still have the silver/black ones in my loft!
