not sure about what everyone else thinks.. Even though a nice sounding exhaust seems appealing... I much rather hear some tunes than my exhaust... but that's just me. And you can pick up a cheap (used) alpine CD changer on ebay... It's stock on benzes, so it's plug and play!! I actually have one from my previous car, which I can sell if you want it... Start the bidding!!!!

ryhi! Looking good!!! Did you paint the outer grill yourself, or had it done? If you did it yourself, how did you prep it, and what did you use. I want to do mine, but I dont want it to chip off. I heard chrome is tough to paint....

j...
i didnt prep it at all....unless u call cleaning it with a towel and water first prepping.... i used some black car paint i found at pepboys. i put like 3 layers of paint on it. i have some VERY TINY chips on mine, but its not hard to fix at all.

ryhi, You ARE ghetto! J/K!! When I said prep, I meat did you put any primer or anything so the balck paint will stick better? I guess not. Well, the chips you have on there now... are they from before you painted it black... or did it happen after you painted it. That is what I'm worried about... chipping and pealing...
Anyway, you're car is looking tight!!! Very mafia/gansta, like I like it... Would you ever consider puttin on a flat hood badge?
Thanks!!!!

j...im pretty sure the sports that are messed up are from impatience ....i didnt really give it too much time to dry. it isnt peeling or anything and looks pretty damn good. one of these days i will fix the lil parts where you can see the chrome. ive been thinkin of a flat badge....but i kinda like haveing the original upright sign. i think it gives my car a classy look

Heres a picture of my C250 Diesel. About 1 year ago this looked terrible, paint work was chipped and had quite a lot problems with it the car and it was totally stock.
But since then it has been fully re-sprayed, fixed all the problems and added a whole lot of extras. had a nice sound system which i've only recently taken out to put in my E Class(w210), but overall car still is great

Thank DMXtremeZ, The car was just lowered by 40m using Ventura Lowering Springs, Gas dampers and everything else remain stock.
Amazingly the wheels in combination with the springs made the ride alot more comfortable.
The car feels incredibly smooth and it remains smooth as i go over large bumps as well, hard to belive when i've lowered the car and got 18inch wheels.

very nice, doesnt sound like too much trouble. how does it handle compared to the original.. do you still get the full power of the engine with those much bigger wheels?
