First time pics of my 05 C230 SS
I bought my car in Oct. of 07, its been in my garage since. Today is the first time it has come out of the garage since I purchased it. This morning I installed the projector HID's and AMG wheels.

Take a look tell me what you think.

sweet rims! they are AMG OE 18"s? how much u paid for those?
can you take a close shot at ur projectors? hehe didn't really get a good look of that mod. you got DEPO ones or OEM Bi-Xenon?

u thinking about getting rid off that orange/yellow side markers? get some clear/smoked ones! maybe flat hood badge too?

did you need to run spacers on the new style AMGs? they look like the w204 optional wheels.

nothing wrong with reps as long as you're not getting the 25$ exhaust

wheels are lloking good, are those staggered? the rear looks kinda pulled ín' may I recommed spacers to kuck it out, maybe just a 5mil will do, still looking clean.

Nice wheels. The other OEM looking projectors would've probably been a better choice though.

The rims look good, could you answer the question whether you bolted them on direct or did you need spacers? Thanks.

I don't understand the first post. You had it locked up in the garage for 1.5 years? You never use it?

It looks great !!!

1.5 year? did we skip a year while i was sleeping?

I'm pretty sure it was garaged because of the snow given that his location says Western Mass.
