Re What Body Kit?
Hi DtS,
The body kit is from Salvatore Motorsports. I agree that the addition of cool exhaust pipes to match the aggressive looking rear of the car will futher enhance the package. I am searching for a dual exhaust system specifically designed for the W203. Do you have any recommendations?
Regards
Franco

Franco,
I love your car, sweet work, those side moldings with the intake vents are killer. Like how the fogs are hidden, but you definitely need some tint and a dual exhaust setup.
I only dislike the front fenders, doesn't suit the look of the car, too sporty for a sedan.

Hey Franco I saw pics of the kit at silver star. Did you design the kit yourself. Not my style but nice work.
Here's mine

Bordeau C-Coupe
A lousy photo from a cheap digicam, but there aren't that many Bordeau C-Coupes on the images.
...nor are there that many MB's that have to live most of the time outside, because there's a classic in my garage bay. FWIW, that beautiful shade of blue is known as "Iris Blue Metallic". Its more visible in this pic (although its a bit too dark here):
The Orion blue was just too strong for my tastes - - the "Iris" is a sky blue shade that I really would have liked to have gotten it on a C230K.

Re: When are you going to lower it?
Hi Buellwinkle,
Everyone wants me to lower the car, including my wife, so I ordered a set of Eibach springs for the w203 today. I should receive them and have them installed within two weeks. The car will require an alignment once the mods are completed. I will post an updated picture once the mods are completed. The springs are supposed to lower the front 1.3'' and the rear 1''. I am in Canada and my supplier tells me that it takes time to receive stuff from the USA. I do not know if I will have to upgrade the shocks too. It depends on how stiff the stock ones are. I guess once I install the new springs I will see if other suspension modifications are required for normal to spirited driving.
Regards

Edit post:
A few people have asked for more info. about the wheels:
They are AMG Replicas with dimesions 17X8 5-112 35S
The tires are Falken Azenis ST115 with 235/45s & 255/40s
I got the wheels & tires from Discout Tire Direct : www.tires.com
The wheels cost: $167.00 each w/shipping
They are made in Italy by Voxx.
If you want the above tire/wheel setup, I suggest calling DTD since the online configurator only allows 235/45s max for the coupe.
Good Luck and more pics. please!
