im getting kind of sick of my car, so i wanna do some little upgrades that'll keep me goingg..but eventually i want rims, tints, and what else do you guys suggust..what rims?

thanks
heres a pic...IN NEED OF A MAJOR WASH

 

1. where are you located?
2. How much money are you willing to spend?
3. How do you want your car look? (chick magnet, turn head, clean, ricey)
4. How much performance you want out of the 2.6 V6

 

Hey Brabus,

Im located in the Bay Area.
For right now couple hundred, and slowly spend more
Turn Head - Clean - Chick Magnet [all in one]
im pretty happy with the performance, but theres never enough power

Thanks bro

 

Haha, you're my twin!

I'd suggest...
1. HID's, I'd recommend Bi-Xenon, but they're a lot more than a couple hundred .
2. Tint.
3. Springs, or opt for coilovers (Tein are the cheapest i've found, around $850ish).
4. CF lip (Euroteck or Replica).

That should get you going, .

 

CF lip http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Carbo...spagenameZWDVW

or just get tint with feltskin

 

That sounds good, thanks for the inputs...

I think Im going to do

Carbon fiber lip
Tint
and I want to do these rims : does any one know which one they are? cos they are flipping sick!

 

What do springs do?

 

Haha, when you pick rims, you pick some of the most expensive one's out there. They're HRE's, and usually run around 5k without tires!

 

They lower your car and give better handling, only bad thing about springs for W203's are that the front's usually end up being much higher than the rear.

 

ssr gt1 or gt3 wheels look a lot like those hre's- but are quite a bit cheaper.

also- here's some used h&r springs for $150 https://mbworld.org/forums/classifieds/223552-fs-h-r-sport-spring-w203-non-amg.html
i have those- i am happy with the look/ride.

 

AH 5K! time to start saving..haha..

thanks for the input guys..

i think ill do
1. H&R sport springs.. [ are those hard to install ]?
2. tint
3. cf lip

and ill look into those rims bump! thanks

What do you guys think?

 

rear springs are easy to do- did mine in under an hour. the fronts are a little more work- mainly because you will most likely have to go to some sort of suspension/strut shop to have them swap the springs on the struts for you.

i think i did mine in about 8 hours- including a trip to get the front springs swapped on the struts, a trip to the store to get more beer, and swapping the shocks for koni's.

 

Suggestions (not suggustions)

It's a C230 - why waste money on mods? Save your money to climb the ladder a bit.

 

i just installed Bilsein PSS9 yesterday...

so i got my Tein S-Tech lowering spring available....

 

Get some clear sidemarkers since your car is white. They will blend in more with the car or get them painted. Painted ones will cost about 60-80 dollars.

 

PM me for a rear spoiler

 

already gotta rear spoiler!

 

lolll 07

 

Haha, what do you suggest is needed to make a "chick magnet" car? (Help me out, lol)

 

Are you kidding me? Some people like to mod their car (me +90% everyone else on the board). Keep your dumbass comments like that to yourself. I like to mod cars, so I gladly purchase the lower model to make it what I want, rather than the higher model....

 

which part of the bay are you from? i have a 07 arctic white too from sf =) dblock actually is using a PS'd pic of my car in his avatar haha

 

it's a C-class...it'll never be a chick-magnet...

 

not if rahstyle add a "AMG BADGE LOL?" to his ride

that's how he made his "WIFEY" praganet and have to waste money on her :nono:

 

ROFL....RAHHHHH!!!!
