So today I spotted a w203 (Rieger kit, black DEPOs...) at a Walmart parking lot in Warner Robins, GA. If anyone recognizes this car let me know! I wanna meet up with whoever drives this car.
Sorry about the REALLY bad pics (worse than my usual...lol)

i like black depos. never seen em on a black w203...thinkin abt gettin them.
random question: what was your method to plastidip your factory grille? i'm assuming you taped off the edges to get the chrome trim and i wanna figure out how to get the cleanest rips when taking off the tape.

The second time I plasti dipped the entire grille. Once it dried I just used a knife dull enough to cut around the edges but not sharp enough to scratch the grille. Then I just peeled the plasti dip off the edges.

C350 Coupe (CL203)
the wheels look better because of the changed offsets on the 204 range, but other than that, i like our range's front end design, the star is too big on the 204, and those door mirrors just look too big, high and aggressive, like a big pair of ears that want to stick out!
and.... the only thing they are showing up is their **** poor parking abilities, you guys have parking spaces big enough to get buses (or large texan women) into, yet they still failed to stay between the lines !
(i do like the way you can get away with no license plate on the front over there, it makes a huge difference to the car visually)

You whip is looking good.
I just bought the wife a white 230 sport. I gonna start slow with the mods. She will catch the bud bug soon enough.
I'll keep an eye on your car.

And yea, the driver was either being a douchebag about parking or he/she needs to go back to driving school haha.
As far as an update for the car, I tried to install updated side mirrors (LED style with the arrows) but I could not figure out the wiring. Wasn't simple at all, and the side mirror actually didn't have good fitment at all. I'm sending them back for a refund.
I'm still trying to find time for the carbon fiber interior but I've been busy with school and work.
The car also needs a good claybar, I will probably do that soon. Make it look real nice, and I'll grab a DSLR for a change (instead of my iPhone) and take some good pics.

might as well go all out and wet sand your whole car and do a buff and polish. Time consuming but well worth it. I might do mine tomorrow after I take my gf to the airport.

Haven't done much to the car recently... Moneys been tied up paying for school and other things. But, I was able to pick up a Brabus shift knob from Gene (eesjunin). GREAT seller.
Took off my roof wing just for a change. I hate having my car look the same for a while. I might also switch my low beams from 6000k to 5000k for another change but we'll see.

Went to Walmart the other day with my cousin and he happened to have his SLR, so we decided to take pics. 
My hood vent is still chipped, and it hasnt been washed in about a week and a half so go easy.
Behold, the first pictures of my car in this thread NOT taken with an iPhone!
