W203 C230 Kompressor
Smile Looking for inspiration...

Hello! This is my first post after a couple months of lurking, so here goes nothing!

A couple of months ago I purchased a (2004) W203 C230K Classic. I am extremely close to paying the vehicle off and am now starting to look for ASCETIC mods to make to the vehicle.

I used to have a BMW before my Benz, so I am familiar with the modding scene for them. Not so much for Mercedes.

I have pics of my vehicle uploaded to my Garage, feel free to make any suggestions/recommendations for mods I should make to my car.

Remember: For the moment I only want interior/exterior modifications, no mechanical modifications. Thanks for the help, I am looking forward to being an active member in the MBworld community

Back on topic though, I have a blank slate with this car and no one has suggested I do anything with it?

I stumbled across a website called formymercedes.com, and www.mercedesbenzwheel.com. Are these sites reputable/trustworthy?

I think you will find that the facelift bumpers and side skirts "2005+" add a bit more aggressiveness to the looks of the car.

I also would like to suggest the clear lens headlights or the projector type.

good luck modding your w203.
