1993 300CE Sportline/2000 C230 Kompressor Sport
CME4BENZ,
Yes, it's an original sportline. I'm putting it up for sale today as a different thread. First offer will be to the club, then I'll put it in autotrader. Enjoy!

300TE 24v Sportline
Are your wheels smaller or car higher?
I have a sportline (but we didn;t get the badges here in the UK).
I can't get two fingeres between the top of the front wheel arch and the tyre. The gap on yours looks a lot more.
I suppose it could be a US thing as your MGB sportscars in the 70's were higher than in Europe due to regulations.

my CE body kits
it's a AMG look....made by Fiber Glass, fragile but cheap...
it's a mess production in Taiwan..around US$400 for the whole set (4 pieces)
I've changed my 16" AMG to 17"Brabus(225/45), i will post it later
the white one is my friend's E320, real AMG body kits..I forgot how much is it...at least above US$2,000 as i recalled.
anyway, it looks almost the same and I don't have to worry so
much while driving on the road...

CME4,
I'm moving overseas for a while. Won't be getting a car... Also, question from Britain about the wheel gap on page 3 of this thread. The gap is the same as with the oem wheels/tires. Sportlines do ride a little lower, but still have gaps. I was in England last summer, at the Fairford airshow. I'm a USN Pilot. Beautiful country!! All, enjoy your cars, the best make on earth.

ebenz - do you happen to have any pictures of yours lowered? If so, some of those would be much appreciated.
Anyways, I went camera crazy the other day, so I have a ton of pics you can look at here : http://mxpaintball.com/Car/
and here (for pics of my old car I unfortunately totalled about a year ago) : http://mxpaintball.com/Car/Old_Car
And for all the lazy people (or ones restriced to dialup) I will post a few of what I think are the best.
Oh yeah, although the cars look virtually identical, other than the front end, they are in fact two different cars - I did not repair the smahsed one and put a new nose on it. Enjoy!

Then I had a bit of a "run in" with a tree but as you can see in this and the other pictures, the car is still pretty clean and shiny even though these pics were a few days after i drove through a bank of dirt into a tree

Upclose of the rims, which for some reason look kinda ****ty in these pics, but here goes. As you can see, I clearly think I need to do something about the ride height, and probably paint the calipers, most likely red.
