C43 Shift Knob?

v0ac · 11-01-2009, 11:14 AM

Hello folks..sorry for my bad english I'm french but I'll try

Was always wondering how come my C43 shift knob says '' sport ''
and not C43 like in the '' C36 '' or the '' C32 '' amg ?
Did it came stock like this, or previous owner changed it !
small details makes the car perfect !

I saw this one on ebay ... but looks cheap IMO http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Merce...Q5fAccessories

thats the way it came stock. mine also has the mercedes star and sport underneath. back then they had a few different version c-classes. Classic, Elegance, Esprit & Sport. the C43 was the sport version. the C43 should also have "sport" decals and the sides of the front fenders. you should be able to get them from your dealer if you dont

mmm not sure but..here it was more..
classic, sport or elegance for every model
and C43 AMG was not a '' sport '' model..
i guess they just took shift knob from the sport one cause they didn't have any

Instead of making a totally knew one that says C43, why not use the Sport Shift knob on the C43, and lets save some money!!

Hey are you even sure the C32 says C32 on the shifter?? I thought it was only the C36 that got its name on it...

I don't think they were in the '' save money '' mind in those years..but w/e
Yes I'm sure it says on C32 shift knob..you're c36 is not that unique lol
