What products is the W203 crowd dying to get??

I'm talking with a couple companies right now about getting various parts made, and I thought about a few people, which included the W203 folks.

So I wanted to ask, with all the cool stuff that has been coming out over the years, what are the things that no one has been able to get their hands on or has only been done a couple of times that you all REALLY REALLY want to get.

Let me know, and I'll see if I can help

Thanks.

Mike

Well, for one, there is NO ONE making aftermarket lighting components for the coupe.
The only options are OEM. I have Bix, but for most people it's just stupid expensive.
The sedan folks have lots of options on ebay.

And pretty much anything performance wise for the 1.8L Kompressor motor.

Right now I'm staying away from the performance stuff and the lighting stuff as far as entire headlight assemblies are concerned.

How about that CF direct intake into the airbox? Relatively cheap, looks good, and adds hp.

I got it. How about a DTM Body kit. I'm sure if you can design one you will have a lot of buyer lined up. But I think it's hard to do huh?

Early C55 style replica grill for standard W203 - like this !! I started a thread a week ago & others agree/want. I reckon this one if made decently will easily pay for development & make money. Need to maintain the slim look & not become heavy - fine cross slats not heavy ones. No CL type star in the thing please - that's been done to death & tired. Must be chrome over black to suit a wide range of body colours. This product would have global interest - not been done.

Yes, forget all the rest, just get me the blender!!!
Oh wait, I like mine on the rocks, so how about a hydraulic powered
shaker?
I mean since lighting and performance mods are off the table, whats left?
There already are a number of people making body kits for the coupe.
Not much of a market for that.
