crappy preview pictures
following up my previous posts:
1) my C270CDI in original state
2) my C270CDI taken apart
Here are some crappy preview pictures of my slightly modified 2001 C270CDI...this is just the exterior - most of the modifications were done to the less vissible inside (pictures to follow later this week)...it is not completely finished yet, but sofar it is turning out nicely.

modifications that were done to the exterior are:
* [772] AMG appearance package
* [840] privacy glass (factory tinted glass for the rear 7 windows)
* [614] bi xenon headlights (to replace the regular factory installed xenons)
* [782] 18 inch AMG wheels (newstyle styling III)
* updated taillights, mirror blinkers and clear foglights
* AMG C32 frontbrakes
* flat hoodbadge
* H&R cupkit (shocks with height adjusteable springs)
* changed out the silver elegance grill for a black avantgarde grill (to match the AMG grills in the bumper)
To prevent the engine from damage due to lowering I added [481] steel carter protection plate...
If it wasn't for the freaking SNOW
I would have had better interior and exterior pictures - but that will have to wait.

So you took these photos to prove to us that at one time your car was clean and that it really is a designo paint job 
Once it leaves the garage it may not return till 500,000km.

2003 C-Class Sportcoupe
Looks great Steve with the 18" wheels and cup kit. Can you take pictures of the steel carter protection plate [481]? Does that option fit all W203 chasis like the c-coupe? I'm thinking of having a carbon fiber one made if it's an important item.

It has to be steel if it has to be of any use...I had one under my previous 190D, still have one under my C250D, have one under my 300SL and don't want to drive without it under my C270CDI...it is a MUST under a lowered car.

Lookin sweet Steve. You have put a family car in the sport lane. I think the windows are very nice, and the wheels make it an 'E' Ticket for sure.
