A couple "recent" pics of my W203. 2003 C230K with ~192,000 miles. This first first picture is from when I last hand washed her last week. Paint looks pretty good for having nearly 200,000 miles on it.
The picture below is from a storm chase (I'm a meteorologist ) during May 2016 in SW Kansas, USA. The tornado in the background was located about 10 miles away at the time and was later rated EF3.

Pro Sport Coilovers fitted
10mm spacers and longer bolts were required.
Still need to fit rear spacers.
On lowest setting. I like the raked look, deffo needs the 10mm spacers on the back, will fit them after modifying 10 more wheel bolts

Side pic, its on lowest setting, 10mm spacers front and rear, its raked, not sure if I should remove rear spring adjusters to lower the rear half an inch more, cant go any lower on the adjustment.
Rear tyres are 225/45r17 usually 245/40r17

Because the front wheels touched the front shocks they would not go back on. 10mm is the minimum spacer you can have with pro sport coilovers. Had tracking done today and car drives amazing. Would recommend them to any w203 owners. Handling is transformed. Go kart like almost. Next mod is sport brakes. Then wheel refurbishment, then pulley and remap. Should be 200bhp after that. Then a trip to the nurburgring ☺

I insist on this because i bought a set of 17" Borbet A rims and i don't know if i will have to buy spacers or not.
BTW, i can't stop looking at your car

The thing is: those rims are OEM, and they don't include spacers originally, do they? Is the suspension what made them necessary?

Yes the suspension is the reason I needed spacers, I took the rear adjusters out, this is the result
You may be okay with aftermarket rims, but if you do need spacer get hub centric ones

Apologies for the late response to this question, but this car has the original factory timing chain. It currently has 195,000 miles on it and I've never had any timing issues with it.

My 02 C230 Kompressor Coupe
New MRR GF7 18" Rims
A rock broke my fog light two days ago, not happy.
Just picked my Benz about a month ago, fixed the minor mechanical issues already and now a couple cosmetic ones are next.
Got a great deal on those MRR 18" GF7 Rims, couldn't pass it up.
