2001 C320
Evolution of my WHITE C320
Bought this 2001 C320 about a month ago, and ever since I've been a mod addict.
Stock
One thing I did notice was that the emblem on the back said CLK 320. And I was like wtf. The previous owner said she had the trunk fixed and I guess the people at the shop made a mistake. Wtf. I'm gonna end up debadging anyways.
First thing I did, replaced the wheels. Had a friend with these and he gave them to me for FREE! I'm gonna replace them soon though for some black ones with a polished lip. Or some grey ones. Who knows.
Put it a double din PIONEER receiver. Pretty sick, my buddy at the audio shop bypassed the video thing so I can play it while driving. For the passengers of course, my eyes will be on the road.
You're never too old for spongebob.
Me and my bud decided to paint the calipers. Went with metallic purple.
Tinted the windows. 35% on the windshield, 20% all around. I like the dark look, and it helps keep the leather a little cooler on hot days.
Also put the grill in and a flat hood emblem. Frabus.... 
Lowered on TEIN springs, thanks for the suggestion Xhale.
License plate lights. I bought some LEDs for my interior too. Gonna put em in later on.
Then decided to make the emblems on the trunk a matte black. Easy job. Took about two hours of waiting for the paint to dry and $5. Thought it looked good. I will debadge the CLK320, especially since it isn't a CLK. Im not rice, I just wanted to see how it would look with the matte black. Despite the frabus flat hood emblem
And as I'm posting this my buddy is putting on some DEPO headlights and clear sidemarkers. Can't wait to see it!
Thoughts?

Take off the front windshield Tint.
If you're in the US, how do you NOT get **** for that?
I fear for those on the streets when you're out driving with 35% tints restricting your vision of the road ahead..
CLK badge just HAS to go... Why would you take them off, paint them, and put the LK back on?
Other than that, it's good

Sprayed, then peeled right off.
Just wanted to see how it would look with something on the side of the trunk when I make my decision whether to put C320 or totally debadge all of it.

Thanks bro. I need one of those AMG bumpers like yours. Makes it look sooo much better
I'm planning to debadge it as soon as I get my hands on some WD40 or Goof off. And yes I pulled the 1st pic off google images, but I do have that grille, as you can see on the 3rd pic. I will probably switch between the two whenever I'm feeling the look of the other.

Put on a trunk spoiler from JBSpeed the other day.
And my buddy put in my headlights today and I love em. Makes the car look so much more aggressive.
Slight problem, parking lights aren't functioning right. My friend who put em on said that the left headlamp just flickers the bulb, while the other doesn't turn on at all. He switched the bulbs around but its the same problem. So right now I'm running around with parking light errors haha. They are 6000k 194 bulbs from V-Leds. Anyone know what the problem could be?
Pics:
As far as the fogs go I'm going to replace those with 6000ks as soon as I get the AMG bumper put on.
p.s. iPhone camera. I definitely need to buy a new camera. Help with the parking lights would be appreciated!

Haha had no intention of keeping that on there, it was already on there when I got it. But you are a very knowledgeable person when it comes to the w203, do you have any idea why my parking lights aren't working?
And thanks Akber, I think it looks 10x better with the new headlights
P.S. i love in n out, wish animal style fries were available in georgia.
