HCALVAREZ'S W203 COMPILATION AND EVOLUTION
After making four threads of my progress, I am compiling all of it this into a better one with nicer pictures. Hope you guys will like it this time. This is the last thread I will make and update. Quality pictures will be added during all my mods and updates.

Thanks to all MBWORLD members for all my parts.

Day 1 (April 2008 ) Purchased the car from Autobhan Belmont CA

WHEELS (BRABUS REPS)
Got this from a previous member lfe136. Been wanting black 19's, this fell into my hands unexpectedly, drove to Austin TX to pick them up. Got a great deal for it.

Nice to finally meet you and check out that slick ride of yours. To bad we met just before you head back west. If you do want to do anything before you leave, drop me a line.
