FreshVibes' introduction!

Hey Guys! James Here!

Just joined the forums today and already feel at home! I currently own a 02' C240 and I'm loving her as a DD. Mod List will be very slow due to school and no job, other than a small hat business But hopefully the mods will come in a lot faster once I finish school and find a job. About a month ago I got a set of Advanti Afoso's for a decent price and they were finally put on last Friday! She's currently needs a bit of TLC due to my school parking lot, small parking spaces and ******* drivers. A nice drop should be coming along first, followed by Projectors, HID's and a nice face lift! I'll be sure to always keep you guys updated!

Here's some current pics! She's a bit dirty since I haven't been able to wash her due to rain for the past two weeks.

I forgot how high our cars are in the stock forum. The drop will look good.

The later ones sit much lower. I wish my 05 had some more ride height.

Seems like the mods are coming alone just fine! I have some OEM face-lifted parts I might be selling that you might want.

Welcome
Any plans on debadging your car?
I'm sure it would look cleaner!

Yeah, I was actually really looking into debadging my car, but I'm kinda worried about there being discoloration due to them being on for 10 years, lol.


Also made some edits to the side picture I posted. Sorry my freehand isn't so great, haha. Wanted to see how it would look lowered.. The rear doesn't have much difference compared to the front. I wish the fender wells sat evenly stock..

THE C350
They are not level for a reason they car is setup to have nose down *** up for handling. I have Tein Springs with the number 4 Rear pad and love the look I will see if I can get you a good pic of the setup btw I used Renntech Shocks.

Aaaah, I see. Although I would enjoy seeing her face down *** up, aha. It would be great to see a pic!

Thanks you guys!

Anyways, a little update for now.
Both driver and passenger side interior door handles popped off. Passenger side popped off about a year ago and the driver side popped off yesterday as I was leaving for school.. The plastic trim for the AC in the middle of my dash has been falling off and will not stay in place. Rear passenger side signal light went out today. Found out about two weeks ago that someone hit my passenger side of my front bumper and cracked my turn signal.

So today after school I headed to O'reillys auto parts and bought a new bulb for my signal light. Also went to target and bought some Gorilla glue and super glued the door handles and AC plastic trim back in place.. Hopefully they'll all stay in place for now. I know it's a cheap way to fix them, but it'll do for now.. As for the front bumper turn signal, I won't be replacing it for a while since it still works, it's just cracked.

School's almost over and I'm about to go off to internship! Hopefully after I'm done with internship I can get hired and start modding away! This car is just a fat headache for me, but I still love her.. Haha.. There's a local meet going on here in Mira Mesa, so maybe I can get a few pics to show you guys. Not too sure if I'll be going since I also have to attend rehearsal for my cousins wedding, but I have time I'll drop by and snap some pics!
