I also installed my vox two way 6" up front and staged the tweeter on the dash. Installed alpine 6" with built in tweeter on the rears. Upgraded my power amp to Aulux for better sound quality and clarity. Upgraded my woofer to a 10" cubig..

Tried it out and I'm laking it. The bass sound is more rounded and solid, the overal mid and high tone is also clearer and crispier.

Just cleaned and waxed her.

Thumbs up for that. Yes exactly, inspect it. Don't forgot to show everyone the conversion, its simply fascinating

Silver C

Ayup, very important to make surethat its the one I will be satisfied with.. Since its no small money you know..

Akber

Very nice, it must be standing out from all the local W203's in ur city.

Silver C

Not yet, but when the body kits come in, it will be! Not much people using the amg kit here..

Akber

well i think it still does maybe because not many people actually do the black roof or the 3 fin CL grille.

Silver C

O yeah those, those are definitely not something you see here everyday! I haven't seen another like mine as a matter of fact..j

Silver C

I'm thinking of getting a bbs lm rep ..

Like this.. But in 18.. What do you guys reckon?

Vinyl roof looks nice. I have to get my car revinyled. Gloss instead of Matte this time.

Silver C

Thanks Karo, gloss is sexy hehe.. Makes mycar look sportier..

Silver C

So guys, should I get the bbs lm?

Midnight Koop

I love the look from the profile, but I'm adversed to wheels that are flat.

Have you considered any wheels that are concave? (thats just my preference)

Silver C

I'm not sure what you mean midnight koop, pardon me but English is not my first langage here hehehe..

Midnight Koop

concave as in how these wheels aren't flat, they dip in.

it helps the staggered look appear more aggressive if its more concave in the back. BBS LM's are nice, but in my opinion, too flat.

Silver C

Ah okay I completely understand what you mean now. These bbs lm reps I'm getting are actually staggered, 9 at the back and 8 infront. However they don't cave in like the ones you posted, so you recommend those vmr or hre lines instead?

Midnight Koop

I like adan1, VMR's, volk or forgestar which have this look... but that's just my personal taste.

here is another pic from a forum member here (courtesy of JDC55) of the same volks that Karo has... I just drool over concave

Silver C

Sweet, they look like those breytons for my bimmer..

mskembo

Always loved that style of wheel, but I'm a fan of BBS also. Very classic and classy!

Silver C

I was just offered a preowned pristine condition bbs lm .. Original.. Will cost me about 3200usd.. Is it worthed? Compared to the rep I'm aiming, priced at 700usd brand new. And I haven't even haggled..

I just like the model and don't really care if its 3 piece or not.. Is there any huge differences?

Silver C

Midnight, those brands you mentioned are very hard to find down here. The only leads I get are Volks, and all are 19" size.. I prefer to stay at 18" max.. Any other recommendation? I might jump in for the bbs tomorrow. Should I get the bbs centre caps or just the Mercedes centre caps?

mskembo

That's a pretty good price for real BBS wheels, if they are pristine. In the end it's only what you like that matters. Don't worry about our opinions. As for 3 piece, or not it doesn't matter.

Silver C

Mskembo, I'm not trying to showoff, but I don't mind shelling out the cash for the real deal. However I'd like to know what significant advantages of that extra 2500 will give me other than being a 3 piece forged rim..

Regarding what I like, I agree with you, but nonetheless I appreciate highly on your (and others) recommendations.. I don't want to dress my mb too cheesy hehe..

mskembo

Typically the BBS wheels are lighter and stronger than any repoductions. That's the big difference. If you have the funds available, I would definitely buy the real thing.

Silver C

Checked out the original bbs and I felt silver is not the colour for me..

So I ordered the dark gray rep instead.. Like this..
