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

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.![Big Grin](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

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.

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.

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.

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)

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.

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

C320 (Aftermarket)
Thanks man. AMG Bumper is currently being painted. It'll probably be on within the next two weeks.
Also bought some new shoes. Nothing too fancy, not too expensive. Just something I can afford and still look good.

Staggered 19x8.5/19x9.5, Offset 32/35, Center bore 66.6, polished lip 2.5"/3.0" with matte black finish. Not really familiar with tires so I don't really know what sizes to get. Any suggestions?

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.
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?
