That car is stunning! the color is unique what is that capri blue or black opal?

nice.

 

Thank you, sir. It's Black Opal Metallic - the only way to fly! If you've ever seen a Black Opal CLS55 AMG line up with you - you would need new pants too .

Black Opal Metallic has been taken off of the MB production line - now making the paint rare . Took a while to get it in this color though - and it was actually a wild guess out of a catalog!

ya that is a shame they took the color off the line! mercedes benz has superior paint quality and colors! so unique and classy.

The only problem is it is harder to seel a color that was discontinued...I hope they dont discontinue my color diamond black.

 

I've never seen Black Opal in person....is it similar to the BMW Carbon Black that was available on the M5??? I always loved that color!!! Tried to get my wife to special order her 330Ci in that but she didn't think it was worth the $$$. Your car looks awsome in the photos!!

 

Not a problem at all - I'm keeping the car forever . Seriously, it'll only benefit you guys if I do (haha, think about it )

I'll take way better pictures soon.

 

wow Ive been on here for quite some time and Ive never posted up my car in the official thread- well here we go...still under way but wheels/body kit/bi-xenons are soon to come.. Just not sure what order

 

nice....that car is slammed

 

Ya I only have about 1/4" left all around to go lower

 

This is my first post, but I just want to say that you guys have some really beautiful cars. Nice work!

Love those wheels!

 

Thanks for the pics, your car does look awesome just like the background, you must live in a beautiful valley.
Here is South Florida we don't have that , anyways I went with the 18" Brabus rims and 225/25 front and 255/35 rear just waiting for the arrival then I will post my pics. I wanted to keep a low profile trendy look, but with still class of a distinct MB that won't look like a japanese.

Thanks !

 

Nothing you all haven't seen already... but I love her:

 

I want your rims! what kind are they and how much do they cost?

 

those are TSW Bremma's, they're available from Neal at www.euroteckmotorsports.com

ironically, they're the exact same size as appleguy's wheels...

 

yes but yours are way nicer

 

Took delivery on January 1st 2006. I love the car.

 

My new (old) 2003 C230K Coupe after it's first detail + tint (15/30/50). New rims / tires soon. Not feeling the 16's

 

congrats with the car

 

Thanks!

 

A few updated pics since my first post (w/ TEIN Basic's, Carlsson F/R lip, and Carlsson exhaust(can barely see).

Enjoy!!

ps. Frank...I'll swap Carlsson kits with you. Wow, your car looks awesome!!!!

 

Nicely down. I see that you used TEIN Basics which makes your car comparably lower than mine which I used eibach pro kit, I can't complaint because the rear is very low, but the front still has a little gap, hopefully when I swap the stock 16" with the 18" that I have on order, will fix that.

My questions is: What did you do to fix the negative camber alignment which is created by lowering the car? I have a -1 degree which could wear the tires in the fron uneven. What do you guys do because I haven't found a camber kit to fix that issue????

I appreciate the replies. Thanks!

 

WHen i lowered my car i took it into a shop that specializes in camber correction. I got the camber corrected and all 4 wheels aligned for 250.00.

 

lol...your car looks great

glad you found something you like in the bodykits, etc.

 

nice congrats!
