ChiKompressor--C230K Black Obsidian
Hello Guys,
I've never created a thread about my car here before but recently a few people IM'ed me for pics of my car so I thought I'd create one and just add on as time goes on. My buddy and I took a cruise down lakeshore drive and then downtown to Migs field and soldier field. Let me know what you guys think. All pictures were taken with Canon SLR.

I think because theyre 18's is what makes it comfortable driving around compared to 19's. Theyre not the noisiest or the quietest. I love the grip on them in the summer heat. The only thing I dont like is that theyre are directional so no chance of ever rotating these

Yea its a carlsson exhaust. Its the same way as most of the quad set-ups are done here. It routes around the wheel well and comes out the other side.
I think the stock michellins were probably the best, but hella expensive!!! Nah no rubbing, although fronts are cutting it close to the strut not much clearance at all LOL

New Mod
After about a year searching I finally got my hands on this. As we all know there is no guarantee that any of the units will work with all W203's. So far mine looks like everything works just fine except for the passenger side vent location selector because our cars weren't equipped with that option and of course the charcoal filter. The part number that was on my car was A 203 830 29 85 and was replaced by A 203 830 33 85. According to the seller came of a 09 CLK 350.
