Just bought Mars Red C230 :)
After going from a C240 to an S430 I am now returning back to the W203 forum!! I just purchased a 2005 Mars Red C230 with 50k. Black leather, aluminum trim and xenon lights too 
Looking to do some tasteful mods (already have a Lorinser spoiler). Anyone have some pics of Mars Red C230 with some CF accents?? I am just happy to get back to the W203 world

I made a mistake and rushed my youth haha I am 21 years old, this car suits me much better, even the W220 had the sports package. I love the W203, should have never strayed from it.
Ive got a Lorinser spoiler on it and I feel bad taking it off to put a CF one on
but diffuser and lip are a must have

Unfortunately, not many modded Mars Reds here. Which is sad, because it's a really great-looking color. CF would look perfect on it.

Not diggin the rims (no offense to the owner) but I do like where he's going with the black grill idea.... hmm. Apparently these cars are awfully reliable so hopefully ill have extra $$ to mess around with.

Honestly like your stock car better than the modded one (no offense to the owner as well). I just don't like the red/black combination on w203s. I like red/silver or red/CF.
Or maybe its because that car needs a drop and a lip! Lol

i like red/blk combo, but i don't like iForged period. out of all the custom forged wheel brands (HRE, DPE, iForged, ADV1, etc), iforged never gave me an impression that they are worth the money.
anyway, here is another member's mars red. you can see more pic in his thread https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...hotoshoot.html

Ahhh, that's right - forgot about Blazinpin0i's car. Saw him once on the way to work one morning. Very nice-looking car.

Def rushing your youth!! The S-Class is nice .... for a business man with a family. I'm 27 and thought about trading in for a S-Class but it is too big .. If anything I'd trade into an E55 and that is a long shot. I'd rather keep the C and purchase an older roadster for fun! You're only young once so enjoy it!

By the way, does anyone knows if our stock windshields are infrared covered?? I have an Escort Radar and in the S class I could only place it in certain areas of the windshield because it was covered in infrared layer.

If they are stock Bi-X you'll have a headlight washer button right by your headlight switch. But it won't work because your front bumper has been changed and is not the right one for a car with factory lighting package.
Either the car's been wrecked and repaired incorrectly or the headlights were put in by the previous owner.
In the picture above do you see the flaps under the headlights? Those are present on any W203 with the factory xenons.

Just straight red/black doesn't look good to me. If I had one I'd paint my 3-slat grille the same way as yours, Frank. And either get some silver wheels or something with a polished lip.

Now that's what I'm talking about! For me, a Mars Red C has to retain some type of silver on it.
