Looks really good. What type of springs are those? Did you cut anything? What kind of a motor does a C180 have? What part of the worlds sells C180's? Are those 19's or 18's? Looks really nice.

very nice car, I love the wheels and it looks very nice lowered, except that the rear is a little too low, it it was about 1 1/2" higher (may be 1") it would look better for my taste.
Are those LD1's 19"???

Thanks for the response guys, well i actually cut my eibach springs i'm still waiting for my coilover. The guards are roll to the max. C180 has 2.0L motor, it is very underpowered. Australia sells those, some asian country sells those as well. My wheels are 19 inch LD1. The rear is actually higher than those in pic, there is about 25 kg in the boot.

i don't know how many coil the guy end up cutting, but it's still comfortable, just a bit bouncy 
. Well if you use aggresive ofset then you will have to pay the price, the tyre will probably last for 1 year or so, i had those tyres for 3 months and still in good condition (well if you do 25000 km for 1.5 year). Not necessarly my 0 - 100 is not that bad, my car have almost the same performance with Golf 1.6L, and volkswagen said 0 - 100 is 10.7 second for the golf, it only beat me by 1/4 car length.
Yeah from the first time my parent bought me this car, i know i will go for the cosmetics
. Having fast car is good if you have a lots of point in your licence. My licence is already on behaviour mode, no more speeding for one year or they will take away my licence. and it's prety useless in here anyway speed limit is only 100 km/h.

Yup, I live in Jakarta
I did not go with 19" mainly because of the ride quality and I do not want to be to worried too much with all the bumps that we have here in Jakarta (I am sure you know what I mean). Further, I tried the show car of the Brabus dealer here with 19" and the acceleration is really sluggish.
I got the illuminated Brabus shift knob from Jakarta Ban, the Brabus dealer here located in Fatmawati, for Rp. 1.500.000 installed.

Pic. of Brabus illuminated gear knob
I took this pic. with no light both outside and inside the car. Since the light picked up by the camera is too low, the picture does not really represent the actual illumination.

I live in Central Jakarta not far from HI, yes I care about the bumps because I have a 4 months old daughter that often rides along (I kinda past that boy stage or at least at the end of it )
