Keep up the awesome work - PS did you ever get your nactaducts + intake working?
Just have a single chamber intake right now running down the passenger side, kind of like it that way right now, think the dual is overkill on the look but I might get my welder guy to build me a setup when i get my exhaust work done.

Looks awesome! The pull on your rear fenders looks crazy. (boo front plate :P )

I just realized that the front lip is different also!

Thanks guys, yeah front plate law passed again last Sept. Wasn't required for like 2 years then state decided to pass a bill to require it again smh.

Alex, I like the headlights chrome, I've seen the black housing and it's not my cup of tea. Maybe black chrome but we'll see.

The ride is a bit stiffer since I have 35 series in back now and adjusted my dampening to full stiff in the rear. But actually still rides pretty smooth.

Have you been pulled over for no plate? Here in Cali its the same but some don't have them...
Black chrome would look sick...

imho...just the oem headlights (like yours) looks good on our w203...black or black/chrome will look terrible..

btw, what you can paint black is the front grille hehe, it's not perfect (happens the same to mine, I'm painting all car this week)

One of the best w203 I have seen thus far!
I have a question.
Where did you buy your window visors?
I wanted something like yours or a seamless visor.

Still have my roof rack, just took it off to buff and polish my roof for the show. It's going back on since it's warm now to ride outside again.

If it were me, I'd get this opportunity to get the front airdam on the roof rack powdercoated or painted the same color as the rims.

Yes, I know. I'm allowing for the possibility of correcting that.

How did you get your W203 this low? I can't get mine low enough. My tyre nearly rubs the spring... (i've got Carlsson 1/5 rims , 8,5" wide offset 28)
