kineda,

I'm a bit confused, so I might ask a dumb question here. I like the front lip on your car, but which piece is which? The front bumper is Brabus or stock? (can't tell a difference, sorry if is isn't stock) The painted silver lip is the Brabus part right? and the custom diffuser is the black plastic protruding under the lip?

 

Kinda-

Yea, in my original post I said, "maybe it is just the black car" or something like that. I like the Carlsson because it is more aggresive, but I am not building a show car. Honestly, I hate the Lorinser. I "don't get" their styling for the C Class.

Expression makes an awsome full bumper for the Sedan. They said that currently they are working on the new CLK, then the coupe is next in line. It is M3 like so it will provide more air to the intercooler. Yee-ha! I want that one and the AMG rear. Might look kinda funny though, M3 wanna-be coupe.

Regardless, car is looking hot. I just think the "edge" on the add-on is an eye sore, more from the front or at an angle. From the side looks good though.

 

car looks nice...sorry but gurls look nicer hahaha

 

nice girls! whoops.. car too..

 

i believe the blonde is Courtney. Cute but not hott IMO. Perhaps it's cuz she reminds me of a psycho ex i had. lol...

aaah...that's why i thought i've seen her somewhere before. I was reading this other thread (forgot if it's mbworld or on e46), and they were talking about whether someone should ask for CD to be the model for his modded car.

anywayz, I think she's hot...lol

 

Couple of newer photos from WheelPowerFest with the AMG brakes on:

 

One of the finest Coupes posted. Do the HRE wheels have a chrome strip on the outside? I understand from the C32 croud there is a poor selection of tires in the 19 inch class that will fit, did you have a reason for the Dunlaps?

 

Kineda,

Nice car ! just wondering, is that the lowest drop you can get with h&r coil overs ( the front part )? Thanks




Ab-ab

 

No, that is not the lowest. I can actually drop it about 2 more inches, but my driveway is too steep to leave it at that setting for daily driving. I might go about 1/2" more and that's about it. I'm already scraping as it is with the lip on.

 

The HRE's I have are actually 3-pc wheels. The outer rim is a high polish finish and not chrome. The centers are brushed aluminum.

Dunlop SP9000's in my experience are the best riding low profile tires on the market They are able to absorb road noise and provide maximum comfort at the same time.

What size tires do you recommend using 19 inch wheels? I have Eibach springs with about an inch drop. Every one suggests by passing the 18s and going to 19 inch. The one thing I will do is research the wheel weights and only get a forged wheel. There can be a 15 -20 pound difference in wheel weights.

I have HREs on my 1969 300 SEL 6.3 monster, glad I got them.

 

need to lower more on ur car dude...

 

The backs are as low as I can possibly go!!! I even took the damn adj. perch out of there. The tire is tucked and the rim itself is almost tucked!

But the front.. eh.. I wish I could drop it down like 2 inches more. Too bad my driveway is so damn steeeep!

 

quite nice. seems everyone was at the wheelpowerfest... listen to felix - dronellis, his car is crazy.

 

girl is nice though! she can come sit in my car if she wants to!

 

I love dronells!!!! Too bad they're so hard to get now.

Do you have more pics of the rear wing from Renntech? I noticed you said you modified it, what did you do to make it look so good?
I just ordered one from Renntech, they said it is their best seller.

 

i wish i could ride that........

 

What do you guys think of the portfolio I'm working on the for my Csportcoupe?

The pics aren't linked yet, but I'm getting there. Any comments/ideas are appreciated.
