I'm new to the forum and thought I'd introduce myself as I've been glued to this site reading threads for basically the last 3 days straight.
I'm Matt, I'm a student @ the University of Missouri and I drive an '03 C240w. I plan on hopefully one day making my car look like something close to the amazing rides on this forum but unfortunately Its gotta be a gradual process as I'm just a struggling college kid.
Anyway, I just took some pics n figured I'd post them... Any and all suggestions are appreciated...
BTW: I hate the wheels and foggy headlamps... they'll be gone soon im

Love it! Looks just like mine! (I hate the foggy headlight too.) Yours is a bunch newer though. Welcome welcome.
Just an update... the new headlights came in... and I found a bodyshop who'll put them in without charging $275 like my MB dealer.
It's actually a bodyshopped owned by the dealer but for some reason they charge $45/hr instead of $95.
They should be done in a couple hours...
I also purchased a new grill at the same time off ebay... Unfortunately it hasn't come in yet and I ordered it last tuesday
I received an e-mail from the seller today apologizing, saying there was a delay because apparently the C-class grills he has all had a paint defect. Says it'll ship early next week and that he'll include free AMG side and trunk badges...
I won't use these, but its better than nothing.
I hope this is legit, he has a good feedback rating and is a power seller... Just gonna try and be optimistic and quit getting impatient!

You've made a nice start enjoy.
