    C43 azurite blue w/ xenons (no MOT)

    As title - looking to gauge interest in my C43. She's got no MOT because someone stole my catalytic converter from my garage: she has the "Olly back section" exhaust, and straight-through downpipes from the manifold. 172K miles, runs, B service about 50 miles ago/18 months. I was hoping to...

    Very Rare Brabus Triple Exhausts

    4 exhausts, a wastegate pipe and a screamer - then it works.

    My unloved C43

    2 cans, but someone who isn't a complete idiot could probably do it in one (I had to redo a wheel). Aerosol, yes, but using a "can gun" handle which makes it so much more consistent and controllable. Preparation was just a good clean using my favourite Bilberry stuff and then fairy liquid to be...

    My unloved C43

    I'd appreciate it if you could start a thread so I could follow that closely, I'm very much the amateur when it comes to rust like this - I'm too young to have ever owned a British Leyland or a Mk3 Escort :D

    Thanks :) Other side, shows the worst bits (anyone got an Azurite blue door they don't need?!)

    My unloved C43

    Have been on sabbatical for a while, with health issues. Nearly 2 years of stress, low funds and energy means that my C43 has gone the way of all late 90s Mercs (except for base model taxis, apparently) and is now referred to as the Fast and the Ferrous. I'll get some better pics, but this is...

    Anyone know what car this is?

    That's a Spyker something-or-other, recognise the badge from their hilarious F1 entry.

    Photo Treat for C43 lovers

    In LA, they drop 1 inch steel plate to cover god-knows-what in the middle of a freeway. Surprised the hell out of me at 95mph in a Lincoln Town Car - would have exploded my C43 shocks! Lovely, lovely pics - you simply can't beat CA sunshine!

    C43 vs 61 reg matt black slk....dual carriageway

    Yeah, but there talent beats out dynamics 99% of the time :D Or at least a willingness to sacrifice rubber and brake pads. I'll take a supercharged Cayman, thanksverymuch. Or a 3.8RS :bannana:

    Nice C43

    Put the proper grille and wheels back on that and it's a lovely car for the money. Edit: Actually the Brabus wheels are growing on me. Still don't like the AG grille though, too much chrome, AMG got it right first time.

    Special Edition C43???

    Mine must be an Ultimate Edition, it has xenons, a sunroof and folding wing mirrors over this one... I am missing those lovely vents and the not-fitting-quite-right sills though.
