I'm a bit confused, i was sure the 2016 models were alll C450's(not c43) and had no option for performance exhaust as well as the 7 speed instead of the 9 speed. Is this really a 2016 and not 17/18?

It's a 2016. Perhaps it's different for different markets.

hi! how much wrap have you used?

The initial roll was 1.52m x 9.05m but I ran a little short on the rear bumper, so worth going a little extra in case of mistakes.

C43/450 from 2015 to 2018 look astonishing, 2019 to 2021 look regular C class, but definitely better overall car than C63. btw tell those C63 owners that BMW M3 ain't "one man one engine" yet leave them in the dust.

Hey! 2017 c43 owner here, have you had any issues with the transmission? mine has been feeling sluggish, for example, when I get in and drive off, the gear change between 1-2-3 does not feel smooth, I dont hear anything bad, but it feels like the car is just barely up to speed to shift into the next gear.
@frax77 Ай бұрын
I did find the transmission doesn't really like being cold. I used the AMG screen to monitor the temps and let it warm up a bit before asking it to perform. From memory it's a fairly agricultural gearbox, so I'm not sure we should expect the refinement of some if the later Mercedes fleet. But to answer your question, I never had any issues with the transmission in terms of faults or breakages.

@frax77 7 ай бұрын
Thanks. The ride quality will depend a lot on the quality of coilover you buy. Since mine are just cheapies, the ride is pretty rough, and I'll likely upgrade them at some stage. The biggest problem you'll encounter is clearance between the front coilovers and wheels, hence why I had to run spacers. Alternatively, you'll it have to factor in some appropriately offset wheels.

Yes, I did. The problem is that the factory springs are quite short so they dont come close to interfering with the wheel. The aftermarket coilovers use longer springs, so the lower mounting plate, or adjustment rings, are inline with the wheel/tyres. Pretty sure I showed this on the vid 👍
