I just bought a 2003 C320 and have been driving it for a couple of weeks and just had a few questions.

1. Could i put seat warmers in the car, im just so used to it that i was jus wondering.
And how much would that cost.

2. How would i take off the C320 logo on the back of the car without ruining it just wondering also.

3. Is their any mods that i might be able to do to boost the horsepower somewhat, just the fact its pushing 215-220.

 

And also the system in the car when i turn it up plays for a while and sometimes it just drops off and goes really quit
just wondering if anyone could tell me anything

 

Regarding the emblem removal, you can use some dental floss and work it back and forth behind each of the letters and numbers. Try to pick off as much of the sticky adhesive as possible. I used some 3M adhesive remover found at Pep Boys to remove the remaining adhesive tape. Try to use the remover sparingly as it tends to dull your finish. Folllow up with a wax to blend in the area. I did a search on "Emblem Debadging" to get several ideas and tips before attempting mine. I prefered the cleaner look of the emblems debadged.

 

1.) Seat warmers: I've seen aftermarket seat warmers-so I know they exist- but I can't reccomend a brand or internet site. Do a search.
2.) Logo removal: I agree with sitz729. I've done it that way. One caveat. Some people, with some car colors, say the paint under the emblem is noticable different than the rest of the car; from different rates of fadeing.
3.) HP gains: The first thing most people do to boost HP is replace the OEM paper air filter with something like a K&N high-flow air filter. This cost about $50 and may boost HP 2-3 HP.
For serious HP gains (30 HP, you need to go to a supercharger or turbo. Prices range from $2,ooo-$5000, provided there is one manufactured for your engine.
Short of that, you could try a cool-air intake system ($200), headers ($300-$500) and larger diameter exhuast sysem pipes.($400?)
Oh, yea- there are computer chips for most cars for around $300, that can boost 10-15 HP, but usually only after one has the headers and exhaust system and cool-air intake.

 

Do the logo removal on a hot day. Let the car sit in the sun for awhile before you start. The dental floss sounds like it will work. I've used a hair dryer to further warm the logo and started by just lifting a corner. They come off easy once you get them started.

It's hard to tell, but an '03 may already be faded enough to have a different tint of paint under the logos.
