Bigger engine?

Bigger engine?

I have thought about it alot. I have decided nothing as yet....

 

[MercFanUk]

You know you need a bigger engine, if only to make your username fit the car a little better

Looks superb, still one of my dream cars!

Viscous fan delete (watch this space for this very

mod)

A Dyson fan? Does he do one for a car?

Yes, Peter (C43AMG)

Aside from the smoked indicators (not to my taste), that's a lovely C43

Interested in what you've done with the suspension - my C43 is on the bouncy side, and a bit lacking in control. Looking to tighten it up but I don't want to spend the earth. What would you charge to change my shocks??!

It depends what you want really. Standard or Bilstein B8?

Email me the reg and chassis number to [email protected] and I will get a price. The B8's are not that cheap but brilliant!

To be honest, because my C55 is going, I want to sort the C43 so I'm happy with it as a daily driver (recognising it's never going to feel as 'tight' as the C55) but I don't want to pour silly money into it. I'll PM you the reg/ chassis numbers, she could do with a checkover (after being laid up for 7 months) and possibly a service as well...

 

[BlackC55]

Please don't PM me, I get so many asking for advice ect that it is better to email.

With the B8 is will improve 100%. They are really very good!

Oops, PM'd you without reading your post properly. Sorry. Will email the same question to you if that's not overkill.

What about removing the terrible 'AMG' centre caps and bonnet badge?

Already done.

I have the standard chrome star caps and a W204 bonnet badge. (no writing)

The roof lining is done to be done soon (again) as Mb made a poor job of it last time.

 

[BenzedUP]

Olly very nice C43 i've yet to see better c43 out there..

I like the modds planned.

bassams E55 has some kleemann headers and free flow exhaust kept the same AMG tips, deffo made good gain we think at least another 20+bhp as he had the remap done again to work with the modds hes done!

so do the remap last on the c43!

Very nice mate....enjoy

 

[Kompressor_Dude]

Absolutely mint mate! I'll bring mine to you for some much needed servicing soon and have a proper look around.... but there's something I've got to do first
