2007 Mercedes C230 sport 6spd
New C owner always hated benz's but i was missing out lol
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

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

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.

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.

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!

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.....
