what should be the first mod to my 2003 C240

OKay this is How I would do it.

1- Get some lowering springs+ Set of sway bars,and tints
2- Aquirre nice 18's nothing bling bling.
3. get a set of HID's if you do not have equppied on your car all ready.
4- Work on interior,and do system
5- Body kit
6- performance mods

What does your car have so far? C4, Comand? Sport kit?

If I were you I'd work on performance first because that is probably where the car is lacking most. It all depends on what is more important to you. You could definitly make it look really nice pretty easily but do you want it to be more powerful as well.

Depends on what you wanna do... are you more concerned with looks or performance?

If u have the stander wheel.. get a wheel =P the stander wheel is sooo ugly!

Body kit before performance mods? I profoundly disagree. As far as I'm concerned, performance is the -most- important factor in modifying your car. I'll leave the comfort/cosmetic mods to the interior.

Get rims and springs first. If you want performance, then the only thing that can really increase your HP and Torque significantly is the Kleemann supercharger (probably around 9k after install). And for the cosmetic or performance issue, I think if you want performance then you should just get an amg at the first place.

for a second i thought this is a mb bob the moderator

anyways i was gonna add some stuff but everyone said good suggestions

19inch rims and cupkit...

But if one wanted a car for performance, they'd gotten a sports car and not a C class no? For me I like both.

Agree.. if you want performance you wouldn't get a c240 in first place (I'm just talking about c240. c32 is faassst, C-coupe is not bad either).. c240 is the slowest car in its class. I don't think anyone in this forum bought his c240 because of its "performance". People usually buy it because of the safety features, luxury, brand image, etc.

about the mods, this is what I did:
1. tint, 2. cupkit, 3. bodykit, 4. exhaust, 5. rims, 6. H.I.D.

future mods: subs, TV..

I am not planning to do any performance mod since it's not gonna make any big difference.. well, except Kleemann suprecharger which is out of my budget. (You can PM brabusCclass, his car has the Kleemann supercharger installed)

btw, MB Bob, are you relate to MB-Bob?

I'd do the following.

Springs, swaybars, bigger wheels, Bi-xenons, interior mods (sound system, Comand, etc..) then body kit.

Go for Cupkit or even Coilover if money permits.

As for engine mods, theres nothing you can do much to add more power for your C240 apart from getting Kleemann supercharger (certainly not friendly on your bank account , you'd be better off getting a C320 instead I think).

1. rims
2. springs
3. kit
4. exhaust
5. bi-xenons
6. performance

the first 4 steps definately need to be done in that order.
