Nice Ride G!
I am not sure and it is difficult to tell, but you mave Black Opal instead of Capri Blue. Again not sure, but I had a Black Opal C230 SS like yours. Now you need rims and to lower it!

Yeah $5K later. And that's just for wheels, tires, and suspension. But it's all worth it when you step back and enjoy your ride

04' C320 S/S Capri Blue Metallic
Thanks guys for the warm welcome...feels right at home already I'm loving the car....
@waveyKat...I agree! right after I post this thread, I start looking at other owners car and dude, I started drooling....
Here's my list so far:
1) Update the Headlight to Projection type (e-bay)
2) Flat Badge Emblem
3) Upgrade the front grill (still debating)
4) Lowered it but keeping the stock wheels for now.
Here's my previous C230K coupe: I really like the front grill on this one but not sure if changing the front grill of my C320, would update the look of it or will make it too tacky but like what I said, still new to this environment and a lot of things to learn
The difference that I think so far between the 2 that I really notice is the acceleration. Driving wise, the Coupe is more lighter so it's easy to maneuver but comfort wise...I'm loving my new C320..i love the seats and the positioning of the steering wheels

@moosejaw Black Opal was my first choice) but my friend who own the dealer don't have one available. Here's the closer pix of it...i like it coz' it looks like a Black Opal from some angle and it makes it looke like i have 2 different car


*Like what I said...THANKS GUY'S FOR THE WARM WELCOME..Can't wait to start contributing to this forum or better yet, start saving

It's weird though. I'm wondering if the clear fog lenses only came with bi-xenons, cuz he's got frosted foglights.
