infected's C230 Coupe

It seems like everyone has their own thread so I might as well jump on the bandwagon too.
All the mods were completed this season so I'm done for now until the next. My next plans are coil-overs and a muffler but I'll have to hold that off till later because I'm about to start my first year in University.
Please feel free to comment. Thanks for looking.

No. You shouldn't do any more. It still looks clean as it is. Any more and it's going to be a little bit much.

I agree, I love those wheels. I don't see how you don't like em. But it's all good, to each their own.

You are representing the Coupe well. Lower her, and she is set.

Just a cheaper solution to get the facelifted look. It's not Euro, Canadian so most likely just the same as US with a different speedo and DRLs.

The headlights came to about $760.00 Cdn plus $400.00 Cdn for an aftermarket HID kit. It would've been better to go with Bi-X in the first place but my SA refused to turn the xenon function present. The HID kit I have now does not flicker or show any error messages so I'm happy, the only thing is I might want to aim them slightly lower because I'm pretty sure oncoming traffic hates me.

The group purchase is coming along.. slowly. Keep posted, hahaha.

If you ever decide to get a CF hood I'll take your stock hood and just paint the sides silver.

I respect that because I'm thinking of picking up a new set of rims already. Probably 18's again but staggered and something more simple like 5 spokes because cleaning the brake dust SUCKS!!

Thinking about the Bilstein PSS9 kit but I'm leaning more towards H&R.

wow... 1,160 Canadian Dollar = 1,094.91 US Dollar

that is more than i spent for my bixenons!

anyways bro, i'm lookin forward to the new wheels. i didn't mean to say anything negative about yours.... i just meant that they just look so standard that i wouldn't go out of my way and pay to look normal.

looks like supershyguy's kit fits you well. i am planning on picking one up too, but im gonna lower first.
