So I decided to convert it to a 2005+ AMG style sport sedan. nothing really big on my conversion, it looks just like a 2006 C230 kompressor/ Sport sedan. I could've done Lorinser, Brabus, Expression, etc. but I stick to real AMG.
I said that in my first post.. I just don't like how a regular c240's looks. I know there's nothing really special and I'm not bragging about my car...
Thanks for the props

Looks great!
Hi there, i've got the same old boring C240 (2001) as you do, and have done some cosmetics to the exterior of the car but not quite as handsome as yours. I do have an interest in upgrading the mirror blinkers that you have. I have the frosted, non-clear kind and i saw some from eBay but they still had those ugly lines, even though it was much clearer than stock. Do you have the part number of those blinkers, or better yet, where did you order them from?
Thanks for any information you can give me, happy modding!

Signature.....
Look at my DumB A$$ sig.... does anyone here know how to find the address of the image? I posted my test sig in "test" forum and follow the instruction by RickyAgrawal. Instruction posted in Italics:
Give me a link of the picture you want to insert?
It should be something like
http:// picture address here . jpg
Basically you take that and wrap it inside these tags.
[iimg] in front, and [/iimg] in the rear.
Notice I put two I's. Take out one i so it says img
I did it that way so you could see what i put.
End result would look like this
[iimg]http://picture address here .jpg[/iimg]
Once again, remove the i so it's single i in both []'s.

I hated the way Mercedes cut the wheel well so high up front and didn't do the same to the back which is why i ended up doing what i did. The ride is still nice, and i didn't have to cut any coils which kind of reminds me of those rice crackers cutting theirs and watching 'em bounce horrendously like they've hydraulic switches set to auto-pilot. Anyway, do you have the website and/or number of the TEIN dealer that sold you your coils? It's probably the most cost effective method to getting a nice drop.

I was led to believe that the front was lowered to something like 2"+ and the rears at 1". Seems the gap on the front is still higher than the rears.
