'03 C230 Sedan
New Guy Around - Just saying hey

Hey everyone,

I have been lurking for a few months now and now I have the urge to contribute. I'm 18, live in Nashville, and drive a Black Opal Metallic '03 C230K Sedan which I adore. Mods thus far...

- Alpine 7" Flip Out DVD/CD Player
- Boston Acoustics Components in front and coaxials in the back.
- Pheonix Gold 1200.1 Xenon Amp
- JL W7 12" Sub (which blew )
- 10% Tint with the MB blue tint underneath...love the effect
- K&N Air Filter
- Hardwired Escort 8500 X50
- Hoen XenonMatch Main beam bulbs and fog lights...great blubs.

Its rainy and gross here in Nashville and my car is filthy. I'll post some pics later...feel free to ask me anything if yall have any questions about the mods I've done. Glad to be a part of your community...took a few months of shopping but this is by far the best W203 forum...definitely beats benzworld.

Welcome aboard. I like the opal black too, as long as it's on someone else's car. I'm too lazy to wash a black car every other day.

Oh man, that post reminds me of a car long past . Happy modding man - will be interested to see a worklog if you're going that route.

Say - maybe I should worklog my stuff as well haha.

There's a red button on the left hydraulic.. hold that down and lift the hood up even more - don't be scared - just DONT let go of the hood while the button is pressed.

Have fun!
