Nice!

Dude, that looks awesome! Where did you get the parts, and what sort of final cost did it run you? I like the front airdam and fog lights especially. I just got a 2003 C230 and am already looking at how to customize it some.

Cheers.

I absolutely respect the work, I know you have put some time into the car. The lights in the front look great. Hell, the Lorinser side skirts work too.

Blech, the silly wing in the back is just not my taste. Makes you look like a kid. But again, I respect the work and planning you put into it.

yup, car looks clean without front plate.

I don't consider putting a wing a Benz, but this one matches the car and body kit.

Very nice!

i looked up TONS of places, i know different manufacture produce different colour HID bulb, so i ask lots of question and make sure i don't get the one that's too blue, that this is what i am looking for. bought it from

http://www.visionbulbs.com

got a good deal too, cuz i bought 2 sets of bulbs


but then, the headlight look little more purple, probably the OEM ballast output problem, or it's the projector that makes it different color

Here's wat you do, whenever you get caught for not having a front license plate say it fell off and you have it (keep it in the glove compartment or next to the spare) and you'll put it on in the first possible minute you can!

Are going to do any engine mods?
Have you thought about winter? lol

that's cool, but if i take off the front license plate im going to cover up those holes too, will it be a little too obvious?

BTW, for winter, ya i did think about taking off the front lip and change to my winter wheels, but guessing i still got 5" clearance from the ground so it MIGHT not be an issue.

the side skirt, i donno lol

i like it, it looks sporty, not really feeling the wing, maybe if the wing was slightly smaller (the height of the wing being just alil lower) than it would be perfect

actaully the wing height is more satisfy than i thought. cuz i thought it will block my rear view from the rear mirror, but then it's actually covering only a little part at the top from where i look into my rear mirror.

btw when i got the wing, i thought i was too low lol

middle part CF, looks pretty good when close up. yet i think my auto body shop do screw, with something that cranks outward inside the wing so it won't get lose (since the hole that came with the wing didn't have thread for screw, and they afraid it might fly off.

The sideskirts install looks far better than mine. Watch out, mine has already started to crack in a few places, just hairline cracks, the paint really needs to be done with the skirts on the car and lots of flex additive.

Love the wing, too big for my tastes, yet suits your car.

Now drop it!
