Nice ride!
Is that window tint the kind that blocks uv rays and heat, like MB uses in their performance glass windsheilds?

all 2000+ models come with the V-Kool I understand, or at least all S-Classes, they are so obvious once you can spot the hexagon in the windshield that you can point it out almost instantly, my 2000 doesnt have the hexagon.

btw~the rear window came with factory tint~~I was told it's the same technology as the Huper Optik ceramic film that was originally invented by guess who? by mercedes-benz~

Ya~~i've been looking for 20" rims~~LM5 or LM6~~~can't really decide~~any suggestion? On the other hand~~i'd like to stick with these AMG rims~i wish MB had these in 20"~~
Thank you all for your compliments~~

ya~i've been sourcing for delimiters~~i think i'll go with Renntech~~their Performance Package 2+Performance Package 1 plus Sport Rear Exhaust.
i was told that they're the only folks that can delimit through software~without touching the engine~~which i'm afraid would void the warranty~~can anyone confirm that?
any one had they're car delimited? any suggestions would be great~

I'm looking at all 3 tuners now (Kleemann, Renntech and Brabus). I want to a pulley/ecu upgrade which will gain 50+ hp and change top speed to ~187. Most tuners will not delimit entirely since there is no tries that will handle 187mph or above on the tries available today.

Awesome...
Great looking car! I think that going with a 19" Mercedes wheel would be awesome. The split 5 spoke wheel is what I am thinking of but I don't remember the exact model name. I would stay away from a 20" if I were you, in my opinion just a little to much and to flashy for a bahn-burner!!
Cheers.
P.S. Check out www.hrewheels.com, they make some of the best quality wheels available. Every order from them is a custom one (i.e. you choose lip size etc.)

that's exactly what ppl have been telling me~~so for me it's either 20" (for the look) or stay with stock wheels (for the comfort)~19" doesn't make that much of a difference anyway~i don't think it's worth the trouble and money~

c32
most respect
this was the most respected auto at AMG challenge in Daytona!!
For me anyway!!!
Also it was the only car that was taken out of service. Because the driver seatbelt would not release?
Still My Dream. will trade for fastest C32
