The True OG Modded out W203
Great to see the W203 modding community grow within the last year...

I remember surfing this forum back when old school members like Jason(BrabusCClass), Jay(ClassC), Mark Cummins were paving the way for the w203 mod scene. I joined soon after when swapping bixenons and the AMG brake upgrades became the new 'hot' thing back in '03....memories Well just posting to say that I am very happy that the popularity of the W203 grew. I know it has a lot to do w/the AMG package added last year though but still great to see the forum boards swell up w/newbies going through things we went through back then Even at car shows I am surprised by how many C Classes ar now competing. Dont let us down 'newbies' and come up w/some original new ideas that will keep people from choosing the W203 over the E46

Peace

Enri, it was you and a few others on the board that convinced me to start modding this car. If not for you all, I wouldn't be planning the way I am for all my future mods. I was already convinced on buying the C, but after I ordered it and was considering backing out and purchasing a different car (Volvo S40, Acura TL, or Infiniti G35), you guys pulled me over the top!

So gotta give all you O.G.'s the for giving others the motivation to keep modding!

I dont know. IMO the 05 owners seem to be a little on the dull side. They hardly talk about mods, and seem to be contempt on keeping there cars stock.

I dont know about that one... There seems to be quite a few of us '05ers that want to mod our cars... But its more performance oriented and not body kits and nav units and the such! I for one am in this boat! I'm awaiting the arrival of the headers and evosport pulley/chip along with some money and the *****ing myself out about the possible warranty issues!! Im also looking for a local plastics guy to help make some custom parts! And I'm gonna do sways this summer too.

-edit-
That doesnt look right! its B1tching!

I've had my car for a couple of years now, and have been working away at it, but just recently found this forum. And, I can't say how much I appreciate it! I have learned so much, and I have been able to share some information of my own, so it is just awesome!

I love my 203!

Good to hear. I know the 05's look pretty much perfect stock but there still some room for creativity.
