Ok im officially in love with the AMG/OZ Aero wheels after seeing this car... Think i'm gonna get the 17s. I'm gonna repaint the center though, dont like the matte black really.

welcome! (more or less)

is that graphite grey metallic? looks like it. thats the color of my old car. dont see it very often at all, even less so on a non-sport w203. very clean car! i suggest you buy euro impact strips... would be a geat way to clean it up even more.

IMO get a flat badge first that really smoothes out the front end.

C_280

oh yeah definately, i already have one. Thats not the most recent picture but i have the carbon fiber one from jbspeed.

C_280

thank you, yeah it was a color that really grew on to me. as for euro impact strips wasnt suvneer or another sponsor selling some for around 50 a pair?

cpbeasley

Yes they are! I have a pair from them, just awaiting to get them back from my paint guy.

I love the non-sport fascia. Very sophisticated, but still stylish. THe fewer mods you do, the cleaner it'll look. My favorite car on here is leozip's. He has a black c200k (from Brazil) with non-AMG styling. All he did was lower it, spoiler, wheels, euro impact strips (from factory there in Brazil), flat badge, and a grille (grille was only thing unecessary)... and it's the cleanest w203 here, IMO (2nd place goes to ROLN).

Modded non-AMG cars stick out in my mind as the average custom w203 here has the exact same AMG kit... and the aftermarket kits are a bit on the "busy" side, again, IMO.

Start your own thread, and keep us updated with your mods! Anxious to see this one come of age!

C_280

i just checked out leozip's thread and i really like his as well. What came to mind were my first mods: lowering and wheels. i have a spare grille i was thinking of maybe fiddling with that too.

Not a whole lot to show for now. 18" C63 wheels in the near future, painting the calipers black within the next few weekends. AZN Optics city lights installed a few days ago. Keeping it simple with this one. Last vehicle is in the background. Got WAYY out of hand, and drivability went in the toilet. Who would have thought a High performance V8 in a ranger doesn't do well as a daily driver.

thanks to the Long island street cameras, cost me $50 bills!!!

cpbeasley

holy crap.

phister

peedi

OneOfaKindTrini

Who would have thought that? haha.

Nice Bi-X.

My scotch and my ride, on the rocks.

On on earth does Texas require you to put big ugly stickers in the windshield when they already require a big ugly plate on the front?

Wardsweb

Car groups in Texas have been trying have the front license plate law revoked for years. I can only dream. It sure screws up the looks of my cars.

Not to say anything bad about your car carfreak but there is a forum on mbworld dedicated to the w202. Are those oem 203 wheels on the black one?

carfreak1234

Ah, yes thank you for pointing that out, I can see I went a little overboard with the pictures haha. I am a bit new to this, but yes, I took those 16" five spokes from a 2004 C280 Sport. The staggered stance makes my oldie look much newer, as the old oem's sort of sank behind the rear fenders. Never was a fan of those.
