Formal Intoduction......my ride
Hi Guys,
I have been lurking around for some time now and have been learning a great deal from you folks, here is my ride for your valuable inputs.....
keeping it simple......
Bought it for: 2007 C280 4matic with 42k miles for $17,500 (plus tax, title & registration)
Mods done:
1) 2008, C300 staggered wheels thankx to (Mike
for selling me his set at a steal of a price) and to (Terry @ www.wheelspecialist.com for helping me with Spacers and log nuts and making this mod happen)
2) Depo Projectors with pre-installed HID's 6000K combined with 6000K hid set up fro the fogs
3) Front 4 slat black chrome grill with flat emblem and extended hood latch (Would a 3 slat silver and chrome look good??)
4) All season rubber mats all around inside
5) AMG Exhaust tip.
Future mods to be accomplished:
1) after market double din Navigation unit with backup camera
2) Spoiler
Now some pictures.
Let me know your thoughts............
Thankx
Javvy

OEM Wheel mods are always the best, IMO. Those go great with the car.. I wouldn't have thought if someone had just told me. I don't think I've ever seen a W203 without a sunroof!
You do need to get rid of that exhaust tip ASAP though.

That's what I was thinking. Rims look good for OEMs, they fit the car (though I'm sure heavy as hell).
Javvy, looking forward to seeing you at the next NJ meet; we'll dissect your car then and tell you what you should do next.

That's Roosevelt Field Mall on the Island. The Island is the last place I'd want to be in summertime.
I'm talking about Roosevelt State Park in Edison, NJ, behind Menlo Park Mall. Much better, and fewer "The Situation" types.
Weird, though, that they don't post something in the Events section; I guess most 204 owners ain't too bright.

Frank if you read my thread when I did my wheels, you will see that my shop made sure I had the right bolts. My dealer sends all custom jobs to Wheel Specialists. My setup is dealer approved and waranteed. The nice thing about Wheel Specialists is that they have their own mill shop, so they can mill any bolt or spacer setup you need.

RAD-USA should have all the right size bolts you will need for the car and does not require any cutting.

^^^ +1 i'm with frank, radusa is where I got my bolts when I put my cls500 wheels on. They're always quick to reply to emails and calls about fitment and which bolts you need. I'm gonna pick up a set of their wheel lock bolts pretty soon just for added protection so no one jacks my wheels

FrankW you're misunderstanding.
Wheel Specialists had pre-manufactured bolts they used with me. However, they can manufacture their own parts in house if something is out of stock. Their mill shop is amazing. If you need a specialized spacer, bolt, or whatever, they can manufacture it in their shop.

1999 CLK320 (sold), 2007 C230 SS (gone), 2000 Grand Marquis, 2011 CR-Z, stay tuned...
E-class wheels FTW!!! I really like your car, OP. I wouldn't have thought the C300 wheels would look good, but they look much better on your car than the 204.
