C350 Coupe (CL203)
My lip came in! Thanks to James at JL-Motoring.

I decided I'm putting it on without painting the sides white. I wanna see how it fits first then I'll decide if I still wanna paint it or not.

(nice sofa btw
)
Also got another CL style grille. I know most of you guys don't like em on the w203, but my goal here is to make you guys like it! Well on my car at least... So I'm getting it custom painted and we'll see how it looks.

A little preview of the grille. Got the idea from Mike and his c300. Had the grille painted satin black and the slats and star a gloss black.
That and the lip should be put on sometime next week

nice man... I wouldve left the points/edge of the star and circle chrome, it'd match your wheels that way lol but your cars coming along quite nicely. Now cut up your hood!!!

Geez phi why don't you come up with these genius ideas before I get my stuff painted. Lol keeping the edge of the star chrome actually sounds like it would be a good idea.
The trunk lip being painted white on the top and bottom and CF on the sides also sounds like a great idea. Might try that out. I don't wanna take the look of Rolands spoiler because something like that just looks like it belongs on Rolands car, not mine lol.... Just like the blue headlights back in the day

Front shot, better view of the lip and grille
I wish you guys could see it in person. Pictures just don't do it justice... or maybe its just the quality of my iPhone camera

I personally usually dont like the star grill on the W203, but for some reason what you have looks very good!
Maybe its cause your AMG front mesh is wider..together with the star grill it kinda reminds me of a W204

Yeah, 3000k
Besides a 5000k LED swap for all the lights and a Pioneer AVH-P4300DVD, nope. Nothing. I would go as far as wrapping the wood pieces in CF but I don't have anyone local who would know how to do it... besides that I want to get a new shift knob. I might get a set of AMG pedals too
(edit)
BUT, i just read your sig. Mind sending me a PM with details?
