2005 C230 Kompressor
New member
Hey guys! New to this site. I use to drive a 2003 325i E46. Just switched to a 2005 c230 Kompressor and I'm loving it. Just bought this two days ago. Got the pewter with black interior. Best car for me so far.

So far i like the stiffness and handling of thw W203. It's more compact and I feel more secure inside. Interior is also better than an E46 325i. Brakes are better as well. To sum it up I like the W203 more

I'm new to so figured I would jump on this. I have had my 2003 C230K sport sedan now for a few months. I have 18" mandrus millenium wheels in the black gloss with the big chrome lip, and tires coming tomorrow. I have blacked out the grille, side markers, and tailights (excpet for the clear section). Next I am going to black out the hood emblem.
Here is my photobucket link to some pics:

I'm assuming because of warranty issues. I for one wouldn't wanna mess with the engine and the power is more than adequate for me. And majority of benz owners buy benz because they want a luxury car and not necessarily a sports car.

Ah, young Padawan. When you come to learn 'the force', you will understand that there is not much that can be done with the Kompressor.
Isn't that right Luke?

I am not sure what you are reffering to. The car is debadged in the rear. I blacked out the tailights, the side markers, and the front grille. I will soon black out the hood ornament as well....i would be glad to help, just elaborate some more......

So I got my 18" Mandrus Millenium Wheels put on and also installed the HID's for the high and low beams, will do the fogs when I have time to get under the car. Here are some pics (forgive the grille, I need to sand it down and redo it):
