My 2005 C55 AMG in Alabaster White

[EVL124]

Well old habits die hard I guess, have gone back to a Merc!

Picked up this immaculate example this week, 2005, 83,000kms, Alabaster White with black leather interior, high spec with pretty much every option available.

I have already dropped by Mr. Muffler and had the secondary cats and resonator removed - quiet idle, no drone at cruise, but sounds evil at WOT.

The N/A M113 5.4 is a pretty sweet motor - oodles of low down torque, and being a fairly light car has good top end as well.

Plans:
Quaife LSD (shame on AMG for not doing at factory)
H&R 10mm spacers front and rear to make it a tiny bit more aggressive
Eurocharged shorty headers
ECU Tune (unsure of which vendor yet)
K&N Filters
Replace Jap COMAND unit with Dynavin N6-MBC Nav/Phone unit
Replace Jap plate holders with Euro size
Euro Plates
Refurb Wheels

Been busy getting the cosmetics sorted.

Wheels refurbed, and front brake calipers restored to original silver with AMG logo:






Removed the dealer crap around the plates, and the metal rear Jap plate holder - am getting some Euro sized plate holders ASAP




Was also busy getting the iron filings out of the paint (lots of little orange spots, highly visible on white car) - Iron-X is an awesome product for this, then clayed and waxed the car (need to do a cut and polish at some stage to get it looking perfect, but was too lazy today.
