"annoyance" and "self-righteousness", amoung others...
I cant get over how clean this is. And I typically don't even bother looking at a w203 without the AMG front fascia.

Pardon my ignorance...
What does the emblem behind the front wheel wells say? Obviously I'm aware of this reading "Sport", but didn't realise they came on other models sporting a different badge?

Also, why does it look like it has the factory lowered sport suspension?

Im going to assume it's something to do with the fact its not a US car, Id love to know.

I just love those wheels.

It could say Luxury or Avantgarde. Some of the older sport models had this luxury body style.

So it does have the factory lowered suspension, as the US 'sport' models do?

Are the AMG 'sport' ground fx/fascia a US component only?

Im just curious.

Im in the pursuit of a c350, one with particular options more commonly found on luxury models, and seeing your car makes me realise I coud buy a luxury model and equip it with a lowered suspension for the same look... realising now how clean it looks without the amg front fascia.

I have Tein S Tech springs right now. This is an Avantguarde model, don't think they had in the US. More in the European and South American market.

Wrong. if you bought a c350 that's not the sport version it would be 4matic therefore you cannot do a number of things to it, one being staggered rims. If you are going to buy a c350 w203 buy a sport model

AA HKS Stg. 2 Supercharger. That car was fully modded and almost all CF components from bumper, hood to trunk. A real beast and not so easy to drive.

A few more:
