Welcome! Very Nice!

What springs/shocks did you use to lower that car?

I put 18" AMG Mono II wheels with Falken 451 225/40 tires, Bilstein sport shocks, H&R springs, and Hella Xenon lights on my car.
PS: people here are so friendly! I like that!!!

Question:

Did you have to roll your fenders to prevent rubbing with those 18 inchers

What color are your xenons? white/blue/purple ?
I was thinking about getting the 5200k ones by hella.

If its possible, could you post a pic with your xenons on at night?

I did not roll the fender on my C, but there is no rubbing with those 18" wheels since I install them.
I put Hella 6000k, and it seems on color white . However, I will post my pic ASAP. Thank you your pics!

so one pic for each post...why didn't i think of that ....j/k. so that's what 18" monoblocks looks on a w202...i always thought the c36 17" monoblocks looked awfully small with the huge wheel gaps (the car is actually taller than a stock c280 with 17" monoblocks only).

nic pics

The beam pattern on the car is correct because I did not change any setting on the factory lamps. The reason is I took the picture from side of the car. From the different angle might cause misunderstanding.

enable the tag then close the tag

ignore the spaces I have between each character. I have to write it like this or the msg board will think I am actually putting picture tags.
