pics (new member first post)

I finallly had the time to take some pics of my car. I'm definitely enjoying my W203 more compared to my 325i E46.

So far only upgrades I plan is to get a front lip (need your help with this guys), flat badge, & cl grill. I was also planning to paint the diffuser area( by the muffler) flat black. I havent seen anyone to this yet, but I need some opinions on this.

enjoy!

Not too familiar with mb products that's why. First time to own one. been reading a lot too. You mind me asking where you got your cl grill and where you ordered your front lip? I got the flat badge this morning from the dealer already. 40bucks. not bad

Thank you

oh sure thats easy.

i ordered my cl grill from ebay seller name :jakuo
he's from an asian country but shipments usualy get here within 5 business days. last time i checked he's still selling those.
the grill is roughly 200. not sure if he sells ur color, i got the silver one which matches my body color. fitment is perfect and so far no problem

the carbon fiber lip i got from euroteckmotorsports.com at 300+shipping, ordered while they were having a overstock and were posting on ebay, so was discounted. i believe original price is 600

everyone said those were the top quality ones(i believe forum members once got together for a group buy for CF front lip from euroteck) unless you want to buy like brabus amg or something like those "original part", which i believe will be 1000+ at least

if u want to see pics just pm me. i will be able to show u the lip in a few days too!
