Well, it looks like we pegged it right. A pic of your C Coupe in a side drift. Hmm, okay. The sig pic looks fantastic. Photoshop job done well, I just don't get it. Do you see pics of other Mercedes with wings? No. There is a reason.
With that wing slowing you down and adding drag, I wonder how it works when a Honda Civic smokes you. I guess you are just into looks.
Me, it's all about performance. I'd rather have a sleeper. Attracts less attention.
Now where are those AMG Pillows?

Unless you can afford a E55 or S65, a Mercedes is slow for what you pay. Even then, those cars are fast in a straight line and can't keep up in the twisties. The SLK55 is the closest sports car Mercedes makes.
For the price range there's so many cars that would kill any C-class, so modding it for performance takes a lot of dollars yet makes no cents, pun intended. The only engine worth modding was the 2.3L, yet even then had an upper limit of 300 hp in a 3500 lb car, that with $5K into a Civic would smoke it.
Then there's the type that put 19" heavy and wide tires on their C-class after doing performance mods, negating a lot of the dollars they spent. Performance is better with lightwight 17s.
I like it, and liked the 2-tone C230, you should photoshop both together.

Your car looks great man. Don.t worry about the wing comments. I think it looks good.
The man spent a lot of cash on his ride so sush about the wing thing allready.
Some like it some don.t. As long as he likes it that is all it matters.
If he will ever get borred of it I am shure he would take it off. But untill than none of you will make any changes to the looks of his car.
Just my 0.02 cents.

C320 Coupe
im still thinking about the CF starless grille, since i changed my 05 design grille not long ago (with myself doing all the dremmel for the whole day). Anyways, yes i tinted my window, think it's 30% front and 15% rear. i'll try to take a pic from inside my car to the back, honestly it didn't block my rear view as i expected, it's right over the top and just blocked a little from the top, which isn't a big deal as long as it's not in the middle heh

Well, I disagree. I'm an enthusiast, I can't help but want to be mechanically attached to my car. I know these aftermarket parts are expensive. I did a 93 Integra for so much less. Ex, DC header was about $400. The Supersprint I want for my car is $1200. Sux, I know. But to say that nothing should be done for performance increase. No way no how.
You guys with the 1.8 Liter engine can't speak for what happens after you Pulley the M111 engine. You do get more power. And for about the $500 dollars it costs, completly worth it.
There are two schools out there, and the middle ground. I respect all of it. I just prefer to go the HP route.
