Portuguese w203 - my project - full mods

well, I'm new at mbworld, but let me introduce you my w203 (c200 kompressor)... one year of work and the result is this.... hope you like!
how it was



Mod's list (some of them) :
AMG bumpers and side skirts;
Lorinser LM6 reps (customized) 9" in front, 9.75" in rear;
US Side markers;
Blacked out front grill;
US plate support;
3M aluminium adhesive sheet on the trims;
lowered on weitec springs(customized) and koni dampers;

some pics...








but I have to show you more pics...in the midle I have had a set of alphard's also...




more of my lorinser LM6 reps "widened" to 9 / 9.75j
(photosession, this time with a great looking bimmer):

but actually this is not how it is today... now it have a set of RH ZW2 9 and 10j 17" :







and the interior:

Ola Amigo,

i´m portuguese,too.

It´s really funny to see how equal the portugueses flavours are......

I would kill for the beige interiour, here in Germany it´s a very rare thing.

Um abraco

thanks to all

9" and 10" is the wider wheels possible lol, without too much poke..I think it makes the wheels look better...wide lips give the car a decent look.

I dont have coils, so I cant lower more the car..and that e46 looks really nice, but it have 19"...its easier to reduce wheel gap with 19" wheels, on 17's is a lot harder, this is my daily drive :/
