Lol, honestly she could post about adding hello kitty stickers on her rear windshield and it would still get 100+ pages of posts around here.

Yes someone was working on it with me, but it's my car and I did most of the work. Even if I didn't have someone to work on the car with I'd be doing it on my own. It's not rocket science. Having help probably sped up the process though! And reduced the chance of scratching the bod for sure!
On another topic, did I mention how much I love these silly smilie things? -->
lol..

The lip plows snow for sure especially if you're lowered. I had a replica before but didn't like the fact it wasn't real so I picked up an authentic one later. Still have the rep sitting in storage if you're interested.

Question, what winter tires/rims are you using and what would you recommend? I'm looking at reviews on tirerack but since you are driving the same car in the same conditions I thought I'd ask. Unless you're using a different car in the winter?

Hey thanks! Lol I go to Calgary every so often so if I ever see your car, I'll know it belongs to that Infected guy... (wait that didn't sound right.) lol... I'm definitely considering the lip so thanks for letting me know.

Give me a shout the next time you're in town and feel like meeting up to grab a coffee and chill. Hope you'll be driving the Coupe though...

I fly into Edmonton sevaral times a month. To bad my airline puts our crews down by the airport in Leduc. I hear downtown Edmonton is great...at least in the summer. I can't stand the Edmonton winters. Did I mention all those mosquitos this year?

OK so I have a question in regards to the '05 Fogs and the clear side markers.
I was searching allll over the forums tonight. Can someone please help me clarify? For the clear side markers, which year and which car model am I looking for if I'm searching for this part? Do the side markers for the w203 sedans fit the coupe as well? Is there a recommended site to buy this part from or is it cheap enough that I can just order from the dealership?
And Fogs.. I rarely use my foglights but I'm considering upgrading to the '05 model. What's the major diff between the current ones I have and the newer one? I was looking at pics and they seem to look similar. Worth swapping out if I don't really use my fogs at all?
Cheers

A girl that can use tools!
I think I like Canadian girls.
Nice pics, great attitude.
Looking forward to more posts and mods.
My last GF couldn't operate a screwdriver or pretty much do anything,

All you need to do is replace the lenses. (Fogs)
Here in the states they're only about 15-20 each online.
Paint the inside of the housing silver (it's white normally)
snap off clips, remove frosties replace with clears!
Put in some better bulbs, I have Philips Crystal visions, but a lot of folks put in Xenon kits (overkill!)
I bought my clear side on ebay, all w203 are the same ,coupe, sedan etc.

the only difference between the fog lights are the clear lens vs foggy lens. other than that there's no difference in functionality.

Right by where I work, I always see a blue c230k as well, It's got nothing on yours though!
And thanks for the info! Ordered the clear side markers on ebay so they'll be on the way. You were saying the clear fog light housing is only $15-20 each? is this from the dealership?? I tried searching online, could only find the whole foglight unit. Can you link me?

The bulb is pretty new so I wouldn't think it would need replacing unless I got a faulty one. Once I got home, I took the bulb off and then put everything back together. Started the car 4 times in a row after and every time both lights turn on! Hopefully it stays that way though!!
