no mods planned so far, the basic ones are color match door handles and possibly a supersprint exhaust. It's my wife's daily driver, so can't do much to it.

I bet your wife would love some new wheels and a lower ride height!

After contemplating over Vellano VSA which would have cost $5500 with tires I decided to get the Rays Engineering DIA106. Not bad with the Diamond cut finish. Hope you all enjoy cause its too hard to find wheels that clear the big brakes.After visiting 6 Shops in the area and countless hours looking at this thread and many others I finally found something that fits, still appealed to me, and didnt cost an arm and a leg. Sorry about the dirty looking tires. Brand new tires and I didnt have time to put on some dressing.

about the side markers - i agree with the clear -- BUT-- if you dont mind spending the 150 bucks to buy a set of "euro impact strips" you should! the euro impact strips dont require the sidemarkers overseas therefore it is omitted. check em out! i ordered a set of clear sides for now -- but when i wanna spend the money one the new ones im gonna go that route for sure!

Yea i thought about both and overall price+style combined I guess i'm leaning more towards the clear side markers.
btw,sounds like my mods and your mods are quite similar, hehe

hey we all gotta start somewhere bro! and i think the front end is a great place to start!

i got the car in august and found this site last month while trying to install some audio/electronics equip. in the car.. i saw all these guys rides and got veryyyy jealous! lol-- next thing you know, every MB you see on the street you start checkin it out-lookin for mods-haha. so i guess i caught the mod bug!

cantblockme

OMG exactly the same way i started. my gf is pissed at me cuz i just read this forum for hours and everytime we see a MB on road I'm like "yo look at that guy's MB blah blah blah" she's like I DON'T CARE
and yes the more we look at these guys cars the more jealous we get LOL

Hi;

Thought I'd post a pic of our "new to us" C 240. This is after a 100 mile drive in a snow storm and sitting overnight in a light snow. Before it warmed up and I plowed the drive. To much stuff in the garage, but I corrected that situation today. Now I have almost all my cylinders in one place.

Now I know why I wanted a 4-Matic. This car is rock solid in the snow, both fresh and hard packed. But it also shows why it need mud flaps. have them, just got to get them installed.
So far, I love the car, well worth it's price. just flipped 30K yesterday.

We live in a rural area mostly, with questionable snow removal, slow at best. So the need for a sure footed car is important. I can't drive the truck everywhere and it not a very efficient way to get around when it's just the two of us. I can't wait to learn more about the car and get some "personalization" done.

Anyway, Hi and we'll catch ya later.

make sure you get a lot of "before" pictures of that car, if you keep hanging around here- its going to start to look very different very soon :P haha

I read your install thread. Well done. And I wouldn't worry about what the naysayers blurt out. That's why there are many different choices in making a car or anything else your own. There's no need to be negative. IMHO.

By the way, nice car.. Check my snow covered version.

kevblah

thanks man, im glad someone appreciates my hard work. my diy thread was never officially recognized, but whatever. its there for whoever may want it.

haha yeah i get a lot of snow here in new england too, i have a bunch of pics of my car in the snow with underglow on. i dont have the 4matic so i have snow tires to compensate.
