I think it would look great. The 05 tails are a major upgrade regardless of color, in my humble opinion.

Nice. Can you tell us what makes black opal different from regular black? What's the opal-ness?

well, I finally noticed the greenish hint that someone had mentioned in another thd... some of the metal flake has some green in it, and there's also a blue/purple pearl effect as well. in varying light, the car appears more blue, or green, and as it gets darker, purple/dark navy/black

usually it's a really dark blue, unless she's dirty ^_^ I need to find another image hoster so I can post the rest of my pics

Hmm, I wonder how it looks in real life compared to my Diamond Black, which I would describe in pretty much the same way you described Black Opal except without any hint of green.

I have chromed 5-spoke K-style rims, they're the ones that come stock with with the '05 sport sedan, they were chromed by the dealer.

Sorry to chime in, but I had my C7 wheels chromed at the dealer prior to picking the car up (extra $1k!) and one of them peeled terribly, while two others showed signs of a cracking effect...all in under a year. I was having a helluva time trying to get them to replace the wheels, so I gave up and bought different ones. Not sure if my problem can be attributed specifically to whatever shop they had the chroming done at or the aftermarket chroming process as a whole, but I was not impressed with the quality and probably won't risk chroming wheels again.

2005 C230k Coupe pics

Rather than repost pictures of my car, here are links to the two threads where I have posted them:

(i) pic with stock 17-in staggered wheels and summer tires in this thread: https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w203/84485-2005-coupe-finally-here-first-impressions.html

(ii) pic with Mille Miglia Bello non-staggered wheels and 17-in winter tires in this thread: https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w203/84495-tire-wheel-question-pic-request-mille-miglia-bello.html

IMHO, the stock setup looks really nice -- just aggressive enough and quite modern. Then again, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and the Bellos (with their more traditional MB look) are not bad either.

This may be a noob question.
Dose the Sport Sedans come with the AMG front bumper? I can't really tell the difference them.

For 2005, yes.
