h&r SPRINGS???
Does that picture show your car with the H&R springs on it??? It looks like its not lowered. Could be the camera angle or something- nice wheels, they look a bit like mine.

06 Granite Grey c230
thats exactly what i thought too. but he has 17's so maybe thats why there is so much wheel well? i dont know, or maybe he has springs and like the highest spring pads?

i have no idea why they look so jacked up. i have the H&R springs with Bilstein Sport shocks on (in the picture). the spring pads are only 2 or 3 if i remember correctly. its weird.

yeah, I'm with Sanny; those headlights look cool. I'm not crazy about the wheels, but I just ordered the grille and the corners are next. The flat hood ornament looks cool, but I'm afraid I'll miss the stand-up star when I'm driving.

I never posted here when I had my old w202. Here's my old baby and my new one. It was a 1997 C280 Sport. I had it from Oct. 1996 to Aug. 2004, put 72k miles on it. It was great during the years and very reliable. I traded it in for the car in the very last pic--I'm in the other forum now!

W202 C220 Diesel
Hello
Here are some pictures of my w202 1994 C220 Diesel.
I live in Norway at the moment, and 60% of new cars got diesel engines
Next summer i'm going to put on some rims, 18". The only modification I have done so far is the avantgarde front, and clear corners.
The price for this car in Norway is about 15.000$

larshi... woah, it's a manual! cool. I didn't realize how much the interior changed from 1994 to 1997. You seem to have the old rocker style buttons on yours too. Nice! Even the color/paint looks good still!

nlpamg, whoever got your OLD car scored! 72,ooo miles? Did the dealer steal it from you? and is it the same grill in both pics?

Good eye, the second pic was actually taken the day I traded it in. I took off the grill and put back the old one in it.
Yep, 72,000 and well taken care of. It sat in my garage untouched for almost six months when I was living in London and almost a year when I was living in Cleveland. I was surprised that the trade-in values were so low for it though. Maybe I should have sold it private party, but I didn't want the hassle or liability. It needed new tires, and House of Imports told me two years ago that I would need to get my control arm bushings changed b/c they were cracked. (After what I've heard about HOI from these forums, I didn't bother anymore though.)

nlpamg,
do you still have the grille (though I just bought one on ebay)? and you should have kept the AMG wheels too (though I really like the wheels on your 203).
grkpmpn69,
you're handier than me, for sure. I've never seen that kind of "eyelid" look; usually, it's a clumsy looking body mod that, I think, takes away from the clean MB lines. Does yours limit the amount of light coming thru the headlamp?
