I want to make my car more badasss lol need help

So I have a silver 2001 Mercedes Benz C320 and I was wondering what could I do to make it more vicious looking. Does anyone have links to a good body kit or very sweet rims? or maybe even a spoiler? lol Im not sure if spoilers would look good on a Benz. Thankss

It maybe new to you but it is an old model. Therefore moved to correct forum.

Or just get a AMG style bodykit! coilovers with some nice 19" rims..

Damn dude... Thought this was a forums to ask questions.. Look how many of you are just hating on this dude for asking a question..

Last year this forums was sick now this place is filled with a bunch of stuck up *******s.

Maybe its time for a new class that teenagers can't afford..

Stop bashing and help him out..

Theres a few body kits that would make your car look great..

AMG body kit all around
i would roll with 19 inch rims
Depo head lights / HID
New 2005+ Tail lights
2005+ side blinkers
Tint 35% all around
Coil Overs or H&R Springs
Rear spoiler
quad exhaust
Blacked out grille
Blacked out side markers
Green air filters / K & N
So many more



Odds and ends on the inside
New speakers
New head unit
Ipod Upgrade

It's the lingo. "vicious looking" and "very sweet rims".. just makes me

Look, here is my honest advice to the OP:

You have a 2001 model. If I were you I would save any disposable income for the inevitable repairs that a 2001 C-class will require. This is the least reliable year for the W203. Sorry, 01 owners - facts are facts - computer testing is not a substitute for real world testing and those who bought the 01 out of warranty are paying the heavy price for Mercedes' mistake.

another important question, is it worth it to mod an 2001 car in 2010.. your car lost almost 80% of its value already... an average mileage 2001 c320 would sell for 7k max. So if you are going to spend some money on it, you better have plans to keep it for MANY years...
again whats the budget you got in mind ?

I think we scared the kid who wanted to be cool - hasn't responded in 18 posts...

Looks like we made the right move - we can all have more fruitful discussions now!

You have your prices wrong buddy... If you can find a c320 for 7k show me.. With under 100k miles Make sure its not a wagon.

If he wants to mod a 2001 let him.. i see ppl modding there junk *** Honda civics from 89 whats the difference? besides a badge on the car>?

i said an average mileage car.. average = 12000 per year... thats above 100,000...
when you mod a civic, you dont pay as much as when you mod a merc.. let him start with 1000$ bix... lol

beside that, c230 ss are being sold for less than 15k, sell his car, buy a c230ss, he would have updated his :
body kit to amg, xenon or clears, new interior, new wheels, new suspesion & brakes, new sway bars, less mileage...
im sure it would be cheaper to trade for a c230ss than to buy a body kit, wheels, suspusion & bix...

just mind blowing.

I get your point here but this is not what initially set me off - it was the way the question was posed..
