new camera = new pictures of my w203

Hello,

Just got a new camera so decided to give it a test run by taking pictures of my W203. Nothing new since last time besides Brabus puddle lights, so may be I will take some pictures of the car at night.

Enjoy (hopefully)!

Sam

WOW..that look awesome!

I'd recommend Euro Impact Strips, and lose the front plate.

Is that the CF grille you bought from Dronellis/Europassion?

Hey rlee, thanks for the comments. It is the non-carbon fiber version of the grill from Europassion (I had to wait almost 6 months for it!).

I would lose the front plate, but I realize a pattern out in southern California with cops, they usually pull me over if I have both a missing front license plate AND tinted windows, but not for only one of the reasons (at least so far it has been working). So since I have tinted windows, then I will have to sacrifice the front license plates, haven't had trouble with the law yet. ::Knock on wood::

Impact strip sounds good, but since I have pearl white paint, it is hard to match. So may be when I re-spray my car.

Nice car - great success on that paint job in my opinion. The white looks fantastic.

Killer pics a good advertisement for the camera too - what camera did you get?

Thanks all.

Frank, it has definitely been awhile, thanks for the comments! After seeing your new wheels, I actually am considering dropping down to 18's BBS LM's.

Glasgow, the camera I got is a Sony DSC-W55, so far I am pretty happy with the picture outcome.

Added some new night pictures...

Thanks raklert. Yes I believe it is made in Taiwan. I know there was a lot of discussion about these Eagle/Depo lights, and honestly, I do wish I had gone with the OEM BiX and made the housing black instead (you live and you learn).

Thank you. Not sure what the Mattig Grille is, but I got the grill from Europassion, it is suppose to be a Brabus-like grill (even though I believe Brabus never made one for the W203, correct me if I'm wrong). I waited for a very long time for it (supposedly it was stuck at the customs), and it came damaged, so I had to shell out extra money to have it repaired and fitted.

The hardest thing about this grill is choosing a color (if you are not going with the carbon fiber), as you can tell, I tried to make mine flat black so that it matches the light housing/plastic pieces, but it turns out too dark some times.

i dont know if anyone has mentioned this but maybe painting the two side edges of the roof spoiler black? so it looks like a extension of your roof?
