definitely lowered...but from the factory??

Pics I've seen at my dealer shows more of a gap, ala C32 look. Sorry bagwell. What autospies is talking about here is a package that is not availbale in the US for now. STFF and you will find pics of what some dealers here actually have.

Those look like 18" wheels to me (at least from those pics). Will MB put a 18" stock wheel on a W203? The ride will be pretty rough.....

JeT

Wow, those rims are nice...I wonder if they are available yet?

zpeed

I have 18" on my car and the ride is not rough at all. The ride is more firmer and no nose dive when you brake, even after H&R sport spring and stock shock (I know, I know )

That is a European car, although the only difference is the wheels. The sport sedan here has the coupe's C7 wheels. Also, that does look lowered. The 230 sedan is the same height as the coupe. But the 320 sport sedan is not lowered at all. It looks higher than ever.

Lynn

European cars are lower then North American car due our regulations. Also that European car has a true spots suspension which lowers it even more.

Those pictures look like a really good photoshop job to me. It looks as if someone took the wheels off of an SLK, made them bigger, cut-and-pasted the car lower, and there you have it. It does look very nice though.

Lynn

You are mistaken. Those are factory photos from European MB web sites.

topspeedtuning

is it possible to swap the projector headlights into the previous models?

Rick

Lynn, did you really expect more from a Subaru owner?

I'm using a black version of this car as my wallpaper. Got it off the international MB site! Definietely not a photochop.

Companies have to get with the times; they don't offer any wallpaper over a resolution of 1024x768. Who even uses a 800x600 res anymore?!

b4chow

cross drilled rotors, i say looks good. don't like the round exhaust look though. is that sports package or stock?

Lynn

I do. But then I only have a 17' monitor. I use higher res on the 21's at work.

avlis

It looks Photoshopped to me too. And just because it's from the MB website doesn't mean it's not altered. Remember the C-Coupe picture that was really a 'shopped AMG C-coupe altered to look like the standard coupe?

Lynn

No. I do remember a real picture of a C230k with the Evolution AMG package which many thought was a C32 AMG coupe.

This is the thread: https://mbworld.org/forums/showthrea...site+photoshop

Lynn

Ah, I remember that thread now.

Take it easy chief. I could have easily purchased a Mercedes if I wanted one. There are many pros and cons of both my car and a Mercedes (unless you have enough to buy an AMG car which I don't......one con......no manual).
