Thumbs up Some New Mods..(Pics)

Yo ppl,

Just got the CL Grill and the W220 tails installed, sorry abt the fotos, took them straight after they were done (the tails especially), they came smoked, dint smoke 'em

Wanted opinions on the headlamps, I have a choice of 3 types:
1. Clear 2005 lenses with the original Xenons (will this be a problem, as the reflector is different??)
2. Bi-xenons
3. Black projector headlamps with an aftermarket HID kit??

What do you think will look best??

Cheers!

C-320 4Matic
Hi,
i´ve been (again) in Dubai in May. Liked it there very much.

Love the W220 tail-lights. I would suggest the original bixenons. The look of them was one of the most important reasons for me to buy my C320 4Matic!

Get the bixenons, the HID kit with the projectors will cost almost the same.

Get the blacked-out headlights.
Install the 8-style headlight covers painted to match the color of the car. Install an aftermarket McCulloch 8000K HID kit.
Go to your Mercedes Benz dealer and ask for them to change the XENON PRESENT to ON.

Afterwards...
Get some black rims with chrome lips. Preferably 19'.
Install the Tein coilovers BASIC or just get some sport springs if out of budget.

Enjoy your new, custom, DIFFERENT ride!

If you still got some money left to spend...get a body-kit....a nice looking one like the AMG or the Lorinser....
