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.

greetingz,

Looking good! Can't wait to see the interior shots.

-Eric Y.

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.

greetingz,

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.

I love those wheels!!!, and the drop just perfect.

woah, that wagon is HOTT!!!!

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 is available for all cars. THere is a part number in all cases. But making it from carbon fibre is not much use. You need STEEL to protect the sump when the car bottoms out. Carbon fibre sadly isnt much use in that case.

looks great. i've never seen a lowered wagon before. that is probably one of the most sportiest wagon's i've ever seen. keep up the great work.

the car is actually quite dirty...it has been on that lift for 3 weeks now and it sits just underneath the outlet of the hot air heater...so lots of dust on the car...As easy as my C250D made it to 620.000km, as difficult it will probably be for this C270CDI to get to even half of that...I don't think it will ever do 500.000km.

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.

greetingz,

nice car steve

yeah i was going to say, that might be the one of the best MB wagons i've seen for a while .

flip

does this come standard on US models? b/c I remember my w202 having this, and my w203 has even more underbody panels.

those are all plastic - this one is a 15 kilo weighing steel plate...

greetingz,

wow steve ur cars lookin hottt, some sort of AMG wagon...cant wait to see the interior shots, since u have the designo interior already =]

lookin good Steve. I can't wait to put my set of Style III (new) on as well.

That wagon looks hot! I can see this becoming the most highly viewed thread on the W203 forum!

I love it! Cool...wagon

I will see if I can get it to that distance myself.

What a good job.
I envy your AMG package. Your protectors loooks so special.Your pictures make me not more patient about modificatilon of my car!
Let's start Steve, come on.
Mail me, asap . I got tired of long waiting for retrofit.

Looks really good.

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.

it's done....VOTED non-negotiable...BEST W203 WAGON!! on the forum.

very nice job !

Very Nice Car !!!

I also have the plate on my W164.

Do you know if it's avaiable for the sportcoupe?

Best Regards.
