CC is based on the Passat which is = to the E-class in size where the CLS is based on. they are similar in size.

fornt end painted and put on.... absolute SEX. fitment is a little off at the top, but i really dont care, i think it looks amazing.

What did you do with your stock fogs? If you dont want them I need the cover for the fogs. The plastic piece. And that looks like the CLK black bumper.

dynomite05

You could see where it's off, but that 2nd pic from the front looks MEAN!

Luke_Geezy

you can see a little bit where its off yea by the headlights. i love it tho i think it looks mean. and trini, i dont think ill be using my fog lights, so i could probably ship that out to you if you pm me we can work things out. ill also be putting up a pair of 9006 6k hids up pretty soon, being as i no longer have fog lights lol.

Luke_Geezy

btw Wes, i ordered that evosport under-drive pulley kit. cant wait for it to come in and see what it can do. next is headers, potentially cams, and ttmotorsport tune as soon as i get my eisenmann race put on. gonna be the heaviest modded w203 around haha

dynomite05

Damn, I literally just bough a 9006 6000K HID kit a couple hours ago.

Luke_Geezy

damn i woulda sold you mine for 40 bucks lol its still brand new.

dynomite05

Damn, I want to get that pulley. How much did it come out to? Did you speak to anyone at evosport?

aigooalex

yeah that is one big gap i would hate to have... but it looks good

Luke_Geezy

just got the invoice actually lol. came out to 420 bucks. with 3 year extended warranty and ground shipping. not bad at all. if anything breaks for any reason at all, thye replace it free of charge. it was only 30 bucks extra. 10 bucks a year for replacement belts or any other parts the break? sounds pretty nice to me. you shouold deff look into getting one. apparently its pretty damn nice. dyno tested to add 15-20 horses too.. not a bad deal. ttmotorsports is going to be doing my tune after i get the OBX headers and eisenmann race installed. looking to be at around 300 horses AWD with a mean sound. could be even higher if i get the schrick cams as well. smokin c32's while they spin tires im gone. gotta love 4matic in that sense.

dynomite05

Nice, can't wait to see/hear it!

FrankW

so they never fixed the fitment under the headlight...wow. thought they said they were going to fix the fitment.

the 3.0L is not gonna hit 300hp tho.

Luke_Geezy

i thought they were too... but never did. im gonna end up just fixing it myself by making a little metal mold under the headlights out of carbon fiber and have it run all the way up the top to the hood, sand it and smooth it all together and then paint it so the fitment looks like it should have.

stock the car is 230 horses. Evosport pulley kit and Evosport performance headers get it to around 255-260. Eisenmann race exhaust res delete 2nd cats removed straight pipped should get it to the 275 range. ttmotorsport tune should also add a few horses and add Schrick cams she should be running at 300 horses. not to mention the fact that i could also do that rear mount turbo because im not going to do the quad or dual setup, im leaving the eisenmann exhaust the way it is. the w203 has a lot of potential.

Luke_Geezy

btw.. if i were to add a rear mount turbo.. all those numbers would go up, being that those are the numbers listed for N/A engines.. and if i were to add boost, i would now be looking into the boosted numbers for those products. not to mention ide obviously do some more work with the turbo.

FrankW

I know I'm busting *****, but sorry to say that exhaust does very little. maybe 5hp at most. not to mention that a lot of people with eisenmann actually lost power on the dyno. they sounds good, but that's as far as that goes.

also cams does not make power. it moves the power around/moves your powerband. if it does make power it is not that much.

stock M272 3.0L makes 225hp i believe. under drive pulley kit + the headers you'll probably get around 15-20hp. the combined addition of the mods does not equal the hp addition that individual mods add together. plus the tuning you are probably looking at 260-265hp tops.

don't get me wrong, i'm not saying don't do it, but just giving you a realistic heads up.

just take a look at Waveykat's C320. it has all the things you can possibly done to a M112 which starts out as the same Hp as the M272 3.0L and with the injectors, underdrive pulley, headers, exhaust, intake and tune his car is around 275-280hp and that is with the injector.

dynomite05

Luke, what OBX headers are you getting?

Luke_Geezy

thanks man i do appreciate all of your input, but what about if i were to add a Centrifugal SC or rear mount turbo as well? wouldnt that put out some nice numbers?

Luke_Geezy

i dont think im going to run OBX headers. im leaning more towards Evosport ceramic coated.

FrankW

well, if you have a shop that you know that can do either of those, of course you can make tons of power. The problem lies with the limited space allowed in the engine bay for the piping of the rear mount turbo. a centrifugal s/c would probably be easier to do.

i was checking evosport's site. evosport doesn't have headers for the M272. your best bet is kleemann which you have to bang a part of the header in to get it to fit the 203 since they were made for the w204 OR get the obx headers.

Luke_Geezy

vividracing.com shows they have Evosport ceramic coated performance headers for the m272.. maybe they are wrong?? im not really sure.. but if they arnt for the m272, ill be ordering OBX headers and banging them out so they dont rub on the steering shaft.

valexv

so where are these obx headers i see people talking about? the ones that are only on ebay with an obx gasket kit, watch out they might be fake ebay ones with the gasket and obx doesnt list any mercedes headers or other items on their site that i saw.

this definitely doesn't fit in the front with the headlights... Also, I think that the build quality is not the best, you can see a lot of details in the curves and lines..

I read that you don't care much about fitments, but I would.. Definitely not going to buy this kit..

Maybe I'm just too conservative.

Luke_Geezy

the only reason i dont care about the fitment is the fact that i have waited for the bumper for about 9 months, so i was just incredibly happy to receive it at all, and have it painted and put on. secondly i am going to fix the fitment myself and i dont think it should be too much trouble. i just reallly... really really realllllyyyy wish it was poly instead of fiberglass. i was excited just to get the front bumper put on after all the time waited, but my body shop guy wasnt thrilled about the bumper at all lol

Please post the pics when you have the repairs done!!
