Telmo, i suppose you are right on how lucky we are here in the US, as far as parts/mod availability. Anyhow, your wagon looks great.
Hi There Thanks for the opinion...
You who live in the United States does not know how lucky you are, here in Europe is a bit harder to find things not original for mercedes ... All the pieces I want in carbon I have to make it myself...
Specs:
Eibach springs (-3mm)
Front Brake Discs (From Zimmermann)
Wheels - Drifz Jade R (18x8.5 Front and 18x9.5 Rear)
Lorinser Box
Some Extras
Camouflaged Mirrors
Fire extinguisher (OEM)
Rear guard against the sun (OEM)
Front Grill (Black Matte)
Headlights with black background
Xenon (Not OEM)
Full LED Interior
AMG Pedals ( OEM )
To Be Made:
Command GPS ( OEM )
Climatronic Digital ( OEM )
Rear Spare Tire ( OEM )
Auto Dimming RVM ( OEM )
and for now thats what i remeber...

Ha! No. Just a snap shot with a Canon G9. I need to select a better setting and backdrop before I use the guns. This was just a q&d snap to post.
Re: the wagon. Thanks. I am not such a fan of all the aftermarket stuff. I just love the clean lines of the W203 wagons. And I like to keep 'em clean, too.
The E-series wagons are too big, in my eyes. The proportions don't quite seem right. These are just perfect, to my totally biased eyes!
Cheers!

I like it! Check out MBenzNL's former E diesel wagon.
It ruled....but unfortunately was wrecked recently. Not a 203, but ah, still a nice wagon!

Steve's wagon was a C-Class 203 wagon, as pictured.

Hmm! Those are the wheels fitted to all C180s in SA - I like them. I was surprised when they fitted them to the bottom of the range here. They look better than our Elegance wheels. Our Avantgarde has a very nice staggered set up.

OK, here's my wagon with the H&R Cupkit and Sport Sedan 17" wheels. The springs lowered the front about 1-1/2" and the rear about 1-3/8". To me it looks like the rear is sitting too low. What do you guys think?
I'm thinking I might go back to the stock rear springs and then install the thinnest pad (currently has the thickest). I also might experiment with the different lower shock mounts (Greg - you know what I mean). I don't really want to mismatch components, but I don't really have a choice. Unless, anyone has any other ideas of raising the rear with Cupkit.

Rear is too low for the aerodynamics to work. These cars must be nose down!

my wagon
c32 , quad exhaust.
and soon there will be a set of 19" bbs le mans. And hopefully a nicer suspension setup
wheels are gonna be repainted with a gunmetal centre and chrome bolts instead of gold ones...

you can run thicker spring pads in the rear to raise it up a little. edit: re-read what you said...are you on #4 pads already?

OMG...if you are local I'd trade you my set for that set. I like the gold bolts btw.
i'm thinking about repainting my LMs as well...but I don't know if I want a darker center or not. BUT if I do...it's gonna make the brakes look killer
