As you can see from some of the pictures, i've been playing around and swapped the sidelight bulbs for some LED ones

"annoyance" and "self-righteousness", amoung others...
ditch wheels completely +1. it does have potential but its a bit washed out looking. perhaps its the photo quality but im not sure that flat black was the best choice for the accents. if i were you, id also ditch the tint over the mirror repeaters and sidemaker lights, using clear corners or euro impact strips.
but as was said, your car has so much done to it and is so capable of pulling it all off. the paint scheme and wheels just smother the eyes and its potential. I really feel like you should have left the accents, like around the morello body work, alone... woulda looked better in red with perhaps some custom grilles covering the openings they create.
its just that those morello edition body parts are LOUD enough without highlighting them with flat black paint. shoulda let them speak for themselves with solid red, and as i said, grilles over the openings as subtle accents
youre so close luke.

+10 stock grille, esp for your car. I know you just covered up your chrome trim, but you need to break your lines up. the chrome stock grille looks esp pretty on the mars red.
that big star grille all in flat black just isnt workin for your car. most people use that grille to try and distinguish their car from the rest. yours is already taken care of with everything else my friend

thank you alll for the constructive criticism, i really do appreciate it. i have been thinking about going back to the stck grill actually. and the only part painted flat black on the entire morello kit was the fenders, which yes, i do regret. the corner of the front bumper looks like its black, but thats carbon fiber. all the parts of the kit that loook black in the picture are carbon fiber. sorry for the crappy photo quality, i took the pic with my droid. i am currently looking into BBS LM's. i think they would do wonders. i am terribly sick of the current rims. the drop i am still worried about because of how low the front end is.. im in between still on if i should put the vogtlands back on or not. i also need the new headlights put in asap. my current headlights are CRAP. right now im in the process of getting some engine and exhaust work done (headers, custom down pipe, connecting everything to the eisenmann race and possibly going quad with it, bored out throttle body, new intake manifold, chip tune, and wrapping the kevlar intakes in real carbon fiber) during the time the car is getting worked on, i am deff going to be re thinking the exterior and waht changes need to be made. again, thank you all for your support/criticism. it is greatly appreciated.

Lol don't wanna talk about that. I wish i didn't cut 2 in the rear. If i cut just 1 coil off the rear i would be a happy camper. I have to drive a lot slower but that saves me from getting another ticket for a little bit. But yeah i chopped another off the front

you really need all that on a c280? maybe on a c32, or c55... but any other w203 model is a cruiser. save the money and spend it where it belongs, on the exterior aesthetics. dont make your car have a loud obnoxious exhaust, cuz in the end, lets be honest, with all those mods it's still slow as sh*t..

that is complete 
my friend. i smoked a 335 across rt 10 a few days ago and that is not uncommon at all. i make 328s look silly all day long. what you dont understand, is while other cars floor it and spin tires, 4matic does not, it grips and launches. you would actually be quite surprised how fast my car takes off. my 06 c280 destroys my 2010 c300. and no its not the driver. because my brother has raced me in the w204 and raced me in my w203 while i was in the w204 multiple times, nd my w203 takes it every single time. every time. after all the work is done ill dyno it again and post a few videos.

+1 wheels (BBS LMs hell ya)
+1 stock grille
+1 paint side louver inserts red
+1 remove mirror repeater tint to bring some brightness back
I didn't realise the rest was CF. The air dam CF on the side actually looks good, it's just the black everywhere else.
Start with the grille, its free! Swap it out and post a new pic.

. A lot of people tend to forget that the C280 and the C300 use the same engine.---------------------------------
If I had to redo it again fellas, I would not have spent 1 cent on anything. First thing I would have done is gone straight for a turbo install. Then wheels and suspension and an OEM wing. Leave the car as is. Straight sleeper.
Good luck luke, I still say save your money for a bigger job like a turbo
