I really like how you painted the hood vent black.

giannidy

Honestly bro I got the idea from that Fast Five video you posted in the Wives, Girlfriends and Cars thread. Ha I saw that CLK63 black series with the black hood vent and fell in love

W203E35

huh, I didn't even notice that. Good eye

phister

looks like its time for a little drop

giannidy

Yep... the new wheels actually gave me a bigger wheel gap. I'll probably invest in some coilovers later on... I'm fine with the Tein springs for now.

More pictures... first time I saw it in daylight. Gotta give it a wash. I think the grille matches the wheels pretty well.

hcalvarez

Damn...how could i have missed this thread...that was fast bro! once you get sick of your clear markers..like i did...euro impact strips!! Man what a change..looking awesome.. Front lip makes it look lower too! digging black and white..like the idea painting hood vent black

I really need to get your DEPO's soon..the we can look like twins..LOL!

phister

yeah lip will definitely make it look lower. I'd invest in ghostriders camber kit if you haven't yet. Your rears are gonna get eaten up pretty quick being lowered, plus it'll get your wheels looking a little bit more flush with the body.

You should keep with the panda theme and do your roof black. I was considering doing mine but everyone has it and I have a roof rack so I didnt see the need lol..

Nice touch in style and performance would be some C32 calipers and paint them to let them pop through the black spokes.

giannidy

Haha just tryna get like you Hector! Thanks though. Yea I got the euro impact strips already painted just in case I wanna switch. Those DEPOs will complete your front.

I like the ideas Phi, keep em coming. I'll look into the camber kit and the C32 calipers. But yea, I actually already have the vinyl for the roof, just waiting on my friend to put it on for me.

FrankW

your lower mesh grille is crooked...

giannidy

Yup I know... Gonna fix it later

phister

You should look into some chrome/amber blinker bulbs. It'll clean up the headlights a little. I have some and it makes it alot different from head on, no amber circle just all chrome.

ROLLNNN

car looks great!

giannidy

Thanks Roland. Means a lot coming from the owner of one of the sickest w203s on here

C350_Coupe

How does it look from the side at the moment with only the front AMG Bumper fitted and not the side skirts ?

(car looks good btw, like the matt black touches)

giannidy

Thanks man!

It doesn't look bad. But I still can't wait to get the amg skirts and rear bumper.

C230 Mulac

your car is beautiful man, looks like we've got a similar theme going with the black and white lol, next on my list is the black depos, just waiting for them to arrive at my door

hey you should set up a meet or something for memorial day, i'll be going down to GA with a couple friends.

those wheels are beautiful by the way

C230 Mulac

forgot to ask what % tint do you have? i have 35% now but i want to get it darker, yours looks like about perfect

giannidy

Thanks man! Yeah the black depos are gonna look great for your car. I had a tough time deciding between those or the ones I have now.

I'm down to meet up! We can have a lil photoshoot... haven't really seen any modded Benz's where I'm at so it would be a nice change. What part are you guys going to?

And my windshield is 35% and sides are 20%. If you don't want to tint your windshield I had 10% all around on my previous car and it looked about the same.

C230 Mulac

definitely down for a photoshoot, we're heading down to savannah to go to the beach, comin up early friday morning and leaving tuesday morning

i was thinking i would get 20% and i think looking at yours that confirms it for me

giannidy

I am so down man, I got some friends that live in Savannah so I definitely will try to meet up. Think how sick it would be to have our cars rollin down the side of a beach. That'll make some awesome pictures. I just gotta get off work that weekend.

Btw just remember the reason why the sides and rear are that dark is because of the windshield being tinted... a lot of light comes through the windshield so 20% without the windshield tinted won't look as dark as mine

phister

rolling shots are the best!

giannidy

Phi wanna drive the thousand miles to Savannah and join in?? Just think of THREE white w203s rolling down the beach, I think it'll be worth the gas money haha

Akber

Wow good job done in the car. I'm not a tyre guru but the wheels look nice. But 19s are too big for the 203s. Isn't the ride harsh now?? I love the Amg look. But man why u gotta remove the 3 fin grille?? U cud have painted that black too?? Apart from the stock grille (which looks ok) I love ur car. How about wrapping the roof with CF vinyl?? I'm gonna do that.

C230 Mulac

that would be sick dude, i'll be down there all weekend! i'm looking at hotels now, probably gonna be staying in the hilton at downtown savannah.

giannidy

Thanks man, the 19s actually aren't that bad. It is a rougher ride, but its not too bad. I don't really mind it. I sold the 3 fin grille to Star Rider, honestly I like both grilles but I feel like the one I have on it now matches perfect with the wheels.

Yea man the CF would look good. I don't wanna do it on mine because I feel like if I get the roof wrapped in CF then I would have to get other CF accents on the car like the lip and the spoiler, which would be more expensive haha I'd rather go the cheaper way and have the FRP parts painted matte black. Hows your C240 doin? Get your parts shipped without any problems?

I gotcha bro, I got some friends over at Armstrong University in Savannah so I'll prob stay over there. I hope my boss can give me the weekend off.
