Yeehaww!

If that's a real Benz part you got an awesome deal! I paid $550 for a new one when mine broke when I was trying to take it off.

The car is really shaping up!

cpbeasley

Thank you sir!

Only the best (including tasteful and clean) for my rare baby!

Come this spring it's got a set of authentic something or others waiting for it (currently in my trunk and back seat) as well

I'm in the Seattle area. I notice most members here are from California though.

Shot of MPG @ 70+mph on 2.5hr rd trip home in 6th gear

and sneak peek of what's to come this Spring. Yes they are authentic and no theyve NEVER been mounted since their manufcured date in April of 2000
I may need some help with the correct lug bolt sizes though.

Interesting rim choice.. not as good looking as the ones you have on there now but definitely not bad, either.

Also the 3.5L M272 is more efficient than the 2.5L M272 in a lot of cases.. weird, eh?

cpbeasley

Totally hit and miss my friend. My c230 hit 31-33 on the hwy all day everyday. My wiife's 07 c230 has trouble making 27mpg w/ less than 50k on the odo.

regardless, +1 for ~70 more hp and trivial mpg loss

LILBENZ230

I've only ever driven an 07 230.. Drew's and a relative's. Driving around Atlanta it seems like Drew's car was at 21mpg or so.. my relative's 07 C230 has an average of about 18 but she makes only short trips. The M271 is much more efficient.. I've got a lifetime average of 27 even with a lot of hard driving.

Under most conditions the C350 engine is more economical than the C300.

with royal purple oil and SI ecu reflash i get 31-32 mpg, car is rated at 29mpg

picture of the exact 3.46 differential on the way. headed to OE for 93 octane tune @ time of differential swap. also to be tuned: O2 sensor delete & 3.46 ratio change.

oem amg lip spoiler finally arrived, soon to be painted.

waiting for brabus usa hq to get some brabus specific lug bolts in for my mono Vs.

and a little present from Temjinx aka Mike next week

W203E35

Let me guess..SL55 Airbox??!!

fookoo303

or maybe headlights?

W203E35

That too but I know Cale, he'll go for power mods than any headlight mod.

Cale, you should hit up Gary the sponsor and get Euro Impact Strips. It'll make your car look much cleaner....siiickkkkkk!!!!

cpbeasley

I guess you'll just have to wait and see

& I already have Gary's EIS's broseph!! I have got to get some better pics of it! And I still owe you guys that video!!!

ND2020

Oh I know what he got and he hasn't even told me....

cpbeasley

LoL! Im such a ninja

ND2020

Well then you need to "Ninja" up some snow tires

Kreuzfeuer

Those wheels are going to look fantastic on your car!

cpbeasley

I just know that the second I buy snow tires, thats the second it doesnt snow the rest of the season! Im holding out til next season, Ive committed! (now that Ive said it will snow 10 more feet this season). Unless school attendance is life or death, no more renting cars to make it in the day after one of these big storms. (aka more $ for mods hehe)

Thank you my crossfire brethren! While Brabus got a little lax with their bodykit design on the w203, they made up with the Mono V. I can't wait to get them on, such a classic. Despite the lackluster bodykit, the wheels have got me on a Brabus kick, and would like to retrofit it with as much authentic Brabus propaganda as possible. If nothing else, it'll all set it apart from the sea of AMG sport kits. Suiting for the monster line up of power mods on deck.

awaait exhaust sound clip!! also , what does O2 sensor delete do for u ??

cpbeasley

allows me to not worry about them if they ever get in the way come time for headers.
