This is what I'd like to have it look like when I'm done (obviously not the same model but this look is what I'm going for):

You can post and delete threads all day and that "style" is still going to be ugly. The AMG treatment on the C-class looks classy and sporty.

Craigslist and ebay are always a good place to start, just be sure of what you pay for. Wouldn't want to pay anywhere near to retail on replicas.

VIP style is pretty sick, That S is pretty nice with the Brabus Wheels... Just not sure VIP style will look good on a w203, its too small of a car. That style usually looks good on bigger cars. But go for it, if you like it, do it. F*ck what other people say

Thanks man. I agree that it's kinda small for VIP style. I'm just not a lover of wheel gap in the least bit so the H&R coilovers will make me really happy when they get installed. I'll probably drive on the stock wheels for a while until I figure out which wheels I want but drop/wheels are really the only 2 things I'm wanting to change.

BTW what suspension do you have on the car in your sig? Looks good

welcome

WALD kit on that S looks ok, but the WALD kit for the W203 isn't as good.
