So i moved back to the states, I went back to India because i got a job offer from Audi India to be a brand manager at a Dealership for the R8 and their Sports cars. I always was a honda guy and a VW/Audi Guy and working for Audi i didnt like MB's. Recently purchased a 2004 Porsche Cayenne S got bored and traded it in for a mint 2007 C230 sport 6 spd fully loaded with nav and blue tint on the windows from factory lol. I honestly only got it because it was a 6spd, its dog slow but if i wanted to go fast i could of but i am happy with a nice daily/cruiser. Its clean as hell and rides real nice. here are some pics i took over the weekend enjoy!
I bought the car this way so idk if the amg stickers belong there let me know if i should take em off lol.
BTW the plates not on there anymore i had it on there to cover the holes on the bumper (ny car).








I am new in the Mercedes scene so can someone link me up with a some nice sites so i can start modding lol.
Future mods hopefully are coils or lowering springs, amg wheels, exhaust, K&N drop in filters. and maybe tint with black vinyl on the roof.

I actually like that front plate

very clean car, the AMG sticker is not stock but if you like it, its up to you to leave it.
Look up the sponsors like Gary@Suvneer and such for mods like roof spoilers, lips, etc
Welcome to MBworld

yea many people hate on mercedes-benz drivers...based on my experiences lol

i drove a brand new honda civic and that car has terrible handling and feels dangerous

doing performance mods on a (c230)mercedes is a waste of thousands of dollars

and u might as well have bought a C350

Phillyc230

Thanks for the input guys but like i said i am not lookin to go fast i want a car that sounds and looks good.

LEDs interior and exterior you can look for user AZN_Optics right here on the forum.

AMG stickers are not stock, might get some hate on that but its your car so its whatever you want.

From a fellow white w203 driver, welcome to the forum!

I wish i still had my 07 stock rims, but lookin good! For some reason im thinkin youre a guido hahaha

LILBENZ230

If I could find that exact car in a couple of years I might replace my 05 with it. I see it is wearing the same rims/tires as my car.. god those tires suck.

Phillyc230

Thanks guys and no i am far from a guido hahaaha! I am indian! I said i went back to india to work lmao.

Phillyc230

Guys i found these 18 inch 2009 C300 wheels with tires for a steal can someone photoshop those wheels on my car?

anonymousmoose

Nice looking Benz. Same wheels as mine. I think they are the best looking non AMG rims for the w203.

anonymousmoose

Take the AMG sticker off. If its not an AMG, no reason it should be there. I see a lot of owners getting AMG badges onto non AMG Benz's, not right IMO. If the part is am AMG part, let's say someone puts AMG rims on their car or upgrades to an AMG steering wheel, then it belongs there.

CoupeCrazy03

Congrats and welcome to the benz community

Even though it's a subtle sticker, I'd agree.

I'd go a step further and say to not put on AMG wheels, though that would be more because they're damn heavy with limited sizes, but that's just me.

I'd get the weight of those 18" C300 rims before buying them - you could be in for a shock.

togaclk55

I would say take off the sticker as well.

Phillyc230

Yea like i said im new tothe whole scene so i didnt know if the stickers came like that because i thought it was a package merc had like audi's s-line and bmw's m package

e1000

W204 wheels need fairly large spacers to fit on a W203

Phillyc230

That much of a high offset? Damn thanks for the heads up!

mac911

I'd probably not want to keep the stickers, but it's up to you.

Your car looks fantastic though! W203s have great classic Mercedes lines, and I really like every time I see one. I have been tempted to buy one a few times myself.

The factory HID you have is a fantastic option. Enjoy that!

Keeping enjoying it. When I was really young I thought Mercedes weren't not that great, but I learned my lesson!

sammydragon3

wat u should do is remove the c230 letttering on the trunk

BlkBenz8

I believe its 15mm to clear, my rims are w204 offsets.

Phillyc230

Done looks soo much better

sammydragon3

lol im to lazy to take my letters off

Javvy

welcome phillyc230 to the forum, honestly speaking the AMG badge on your car looks pretty decent......but again it is your car.......I had the C300 rims on my C280 huge offset and real heavy.......my MPG took a dump.......if you are enjoying the ride quality that is because of the whole suspension wheel setup......any deviatation from the OEM setup you will be sacrificing the ride quality so be very carefull and picky........I have aftermarket rims but I stuck to the oem 16" rims........plus the rims that you have on your ride are the most sought after rims on the forum......so I would say stay with them.....

I am originally from Mumbai...which part of india are you from?? my guess delhi???

Phillyc230

Hey javvy thanks for the input bro im from andheri w in mumbai as well.
