Bi-Xenon factory HID's. But they cost an arm and a leg your headlights are already clear don't worry about bix right now. Get a flat hood badge and a euroteck carbon fiber front lip and you will set for a while. There are plenty of mods for you to do though but modding a benz is expensive.

That lip im talking about is $600. even Taiwan made one is gonna cost you $300 not including shipping.

Then leave it stock
or get a civic
Plus price on wheels depend on what kind of rims does he want, 75% chance its going to be more than 1000...
A drop , depends on coils or springs , about 500 installation included.
Tint, nicely done about 150/200 average.. so if my calculator is right, that's about 2000 give or take...

Cheap mods , you could do this yourself with about 200 dollars total and some DIY help from this site...
Tint tails.. spray is about $12 i did it myself plus clear coat
Paint grille black about $20... sand it, prime it; sand it again and paint it.
Tint sidemarkers.. same spray
paint stock rims ... or powder coat them
HID kit .. about $60 on ebay, watch out when buying on ebay
Am i missing something?

Welcome...

There are soooo many mods out there.

Bi Xenon, Rims, Carbon Fiber Front lip, wing, flat hood badge, coilovers, euro strips (dont get clear side markers get these instead),

What is your budget?

Welcome!

I would look at a flat hood emblem, but I'd pair it with the stock grille. I would say, take the chrome off the grille and paint the (currently) black part the same white as your body colour (then put the chrome back on).

I'd also agree with smoking/tinting your tails and either tinting, or getting clear side-markers for your bumpers.

Think about painting your rims, and there you have it.

Have fun!

White grill -

White grill will look wierd with the black mesh.

Carbon fiber front lip with carbon fiber wing, with carbon fiber rear diffuser, with carbon fiber roof spoiler, with some nice rims (up to you), with a flat hood badge, and very lightly smoked tail lights and black vinly roof -

welcome to the forum.

please read this thread for more insight: https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...-diy-faqs.html

I have no clue why you wanted to say that you were 16, age is not relevant to this discussion aside from the laughable attempt to show off that your parents bought you a used C-Class.

not to start anything, but yeah they do, look at half the people on the w203 forum--I bet you that the mods were paid for by mommy and daddy.
