Haha maybe.. but what if its too loud

Im very reluctant to do anything performance wise, because of the cost and how slow the car is, but then again with the noise its making now I feel as if I have to have a lil more bite for my bark

See that would be an amazing set up but is it worth the cash... probably not

I have a question for you Frank,(to all in fact), my exhaust is slightly louder than when I got it, I feel like its because Ive "broken it in" but the thing is now there is a bit more cabin drone, sometimes I dont hear it too much but then other times my friends in the back complain, Ive heard adding a glasspack improves the sound quality. Does it just make it louder or a more refined tone? I like how it sounds Id just like a dat bit less cabin drone


Its like its comfortable to hear only if im using cruise control lol

You could always go for something other than AMG rims!

harrison1277

haha I know but I like the look

there are some nice replicas out there for about 600... not sure what the best source is tho

Finally got around to painting the calipers (I was waiting for The Brembo Decals to come in). They turned out sick thanks so much for the DIY.











I am going to copy one more thing off of you today and plasti dip the bottem part of my bumper like you did. Thanks again!

carfreak1234

Cool project! Good diy's and everything, nice job. Makes me wonder what the stock rims would look like on mine if i painted them black too.. hmm. For now saving up the money for c63 rims

harrison1277

soon, i broke my iphone cable I just ordered one on amazon

no problem man! where did you get those decals? ive looked on amazon but cant find anything and the ones on ebay look cheap..

thanks!

haha why not plasti dip em just to see? only bout 25$ to test out black rims and its reversible

Peydidy

I got the decals on ebay, it was like a sheet of 6 of them for about $6-$7 Including shipping

harrison1277

So Ive been gone for a while finally back to update

I installed the iphone aux cable through the glove box
(thanks to the DIY)

A lil side note I was driving near a rocky hill area, some big chunks of rocks fell on the side of me and banged into my rear right side

I was thinking damn I hope theres no dent! I pulled over to check and saw they had impacted my wheel, The plasti dip was torn and warped in one spot, I removed all the plasti dip and saw no harm! surprisingly the thick coat of plasti dip I had on the wheels protected them 100% from some decently sized rocks


ill put up some pics of the input and exhaust soon

carfreak1234

dunno, i wanna go gloss black..

harrison1277

me too

maybe ill to that myself n see how it turns out

Peydidy

Hey have you done anything new with your car recently? I was just thinking today it would be sick to do a quick photo shoot one day with the pewter plasti dipped C230s. Me, you, harley7 and hcalvarez.

harrison1277

that would be a sick photoshoot! we could send the pics into plasti dips website and get sponsored haha

Ill have my brother bring his 07 c230 too !

Peydidy

Haha that would be sick. were in so cal are you? I go down there pretty often and ill be there next weekend. We should arrange something with the PPC.

harrison1277

Orange County --> Huntington Beach

Hit me up when you come down! ill have to wash my car the day before haha

p.s. remember the driver side front wheel

Peydidy

I will be in Irvine this friday-sunday (feb 10-12). Bad news about the wheel though. I ordered my BBS LMs but had trouble getting them on. I bought them from a store in LA and had them shipped so I will be returning the wheels on the way down there. I am going to try to get another set of wheels while I am in Socal beacuse there is alot more aftermarket shops there then the bay. If I do then I will take off the wheel and give it to you while I am still there. If I have no luck finding some then I need to drive back on stocks. But if that does happen I will be back in a month anyways. Hope to see you while I am down there though, have a quick PPC meet

harrison1277

Sorry I missed you! if you end up getting that new set ill be interested in the wheel

Next time you are down lets meet up! Good luck getting your BBS set im jealous!

PPC!!

Peydidy

Had some bad luck down there. Everywhere I went didn't have any that would work with our cars . Next time for sure though! The drive down was sick in the c230 though.

harrison1277

it is a sick drive! did you take the 5 or PCH?

the ride up on PCH is awesome in a 230

let me know when you come down again

harrison1277

Sorry Guys still no video clip

But in the meantime here are some pics of yesterday in the desert











Enjoy

Peydidy

Took 101 on the way there and 5 on the way back
101 was such a nice drive in the benz, I loved it

harrison1277

The benz makes the perfect drive I have to agree!

And thanks for the complement I do think the mountains made for some awesome pics

harrison1277

Sick wheels dude! I'm about to do the same to mine. Just trying to decide whether to to go with black or a graphite grey look....

harrison1277

id say go black, i can imagine the grey looking extra dull when its dirty
