SUSPENSION
wheels

if you do wheels without dropping it, it looks awful. The expression bumper is suttle, yet stylish that it could be pulled off with stock wheels and ride height, and different enough that it'll set you apart, so I'd do it first.

 

1. Wheels/Suspension
2. Bumper
3. Custom exhaust with quad tips
4. Headlights

 

so, i guess most people would start with the wheels

 

so, how much you guys think this is going to cost me??

 

Is that a Kompressor?

 

nope
c320

 

Wheels/tires/suspension depends on what you want to spend. You can spend (installed) for all of that as low as $2,000 total. You CAN spend easily over $6-7,000 for everything. Depends what you're looking for.

 

For those who say suspension first, I think it would be wiser to get rims first so that when your mechanic is installing the coilovers he can adjust it accordingly with the tire/rim dimensions.

 

this would make sense too,

for a good price u might be able to find a 19" wheels for around 1000-1300 CND, now that's very cheap price, u have to look for it.

 

wheels would make a big difference on the look of the car. go wheels and supsension first

 

i will be looking for a set of 18 or 19s

 

Yeah, I wil vote Suspension and wheels for the first mod. It will change the look of your car right away. Anyway, check your PM box and let me know

Thanks

Personally i am starting with the least expensive mods first. So if i change my mind, it wont cost me as much.

 

least expensive mode is probably the bumper
but really depends

anyway, I am also kind of interested in the Rieger Lip
does anyone know where to get one in US.
please give me the websites.

thanks

 

formymercedes.com

are you going with just the lip or the whole kit?

 

just the front lip

 

cause, i don't really like the Rieger rear
so, i might just get Rieger front lip, and maybe something else for the rears
but don't know yet.
is that the only site where i can get Rieger bodykits??

 

You can get them elsewhere but they'll be more expensive. I personally am going to go with the Rieger front lip from formymercedes.com. It'll look great and it shouldn't cost more than $400 when all is said and done.

 

suspension and wheels will be my first choice. Just my .02 cent

 

1 step at a time buddy.

 

i know that

 

Order I always follow in modding:

1) suspension (i.e. springs or coilovers)
- This is always first for me because I don't like 4 finger gaps between the tire and the fender

2) Small appearance mods (i.e. spoilers, grilles, OEM upgrades, etc...)

3) Rims (i.e. aftermarket. I like certain Mercedes Tuner wheels, but I wanted my car to be completely unique, which is why I went with the CLK DTM road car wheels, e.g. OZ Superleggera III)

4) Body kit (i.e. All depends on what you like)
- Generally speaking, rims are more expensive than body kits, however, a car with a body kit and stock 16 inch rims doesn't look quite right without rims. This is why body kits/aerodynamics always come last in my book.

5) Power mods
- Usually, power mods can be cheaper, but for the w203...that's just not the case because there aren't very many available that are not pricey. That being said, I'm following what my budget provides to me.

I did 1-2 in conjunction with one another. 3 came much later, but had to put aside an OEM addition (comand). 4 is gonna take a while because of what I'm getting and how much it'll cost (including the exhaust), so for budget purposes 5 is coming before #4.

 

I agree
I won't get the bodykits until I get the rims
cause yah, it looks weird with the stock 16" on it
