Hello everybody. Today is a good day! I was in a car crash about a month or so ago and today they finally tell me they will be sending me my check in the mail!
Not much but hopefully enough to get new parts in for stock :)
I bought my obsidian black C320 with about 110,000 miles in September of 2011.
Since i saw it i fell in love with it..I had to come home with it. It was stock until December.

Next step was to change those yellow old bulbs for HiD's. They are 8000k including the fogs. Same day i told them to put the chrome door pillars on for me. The next couple of days i bought black 18" rims with new tires. Also got 5% tint all around except the front windshield of course. ( sorry for only night time pics)

Now here come the bad news :(
I had just bought a Trunk Lip Spoiler from JBspeed. I didnt put it on that same day for some reason and that night BOOM.
I get into a car crash :( i was going down a one way and some b**** ran a stop sign! I tried to stop and dodge her but it was too late. I did save myself from a bigger crash but nonetheless i crashed. I was gonna take my mom to the airport, nothing out the ordinary. I have never crashed in my 4 yrs of driving but i guess it was bound to happen :(
I was in the car with my girlfriend and my mom. Everyone was fine. Like i said it wasn't that bad because the airbags didn't deploy! Well here are some pics of how the car looks now! I hope it isn't as bad as it looks. & from the looks of it i don't think anything inside was damaged because i just drove it home from the crash. Hopefully its only the outside. I would love some comments or opinions. I need some help in trying to find some new parts, like hood, headlights, bumper, etc. Thanks everyone for your time.

Ouch that looks harsh. I am a little confused though, did you hit something in the process of trying to dodge the accident that would have occurred from the person running the stop sign, or did the person that ran the stop sign hit you? Either way glad you and everyone else was ok, one of my favorite things about mercedes is how strong they are built, which makes for a very safe car. Hope it gets fixed up soon or replaced for something better

Thanks man. & the way I got hit was she supposedly didn't see me so she kept driving (X5) and she was literally right in front of me I would of hit her even harder but I moved to the left real quick and my whole right front end hit her rear bumper. I'm in between of going to an auction selling it and with that money plus the check get something new or really fix her up and keep her...besides this accident it has been the best car I ever driven.BTW your car is beautiful..I really want my car to be up there with you guys :)

So is her insurance covering it or is it going to be out of pocket for you? and are you repairing it or buying a new car? and thanks, I'm sure with just a few mods you will have a swaged out w203 soon enough

I waited this long to fix it so her insurance could pay for it lol
I just took my car to the body shop, it could be ready by next week :)
I wanted to ask you a question though...Where's the best place i can get those Bi-x headlights? i checked ebay but idk which ones exactly to get and if there will be any problems installing them to my car ? Thanks in advance

Glad to see your cars getting all fixed up. Also I dont have Bi-xeons, I just have the stock facelifted halogen clear lights and put in a 8000k HID kit. I dont know much about which ones are good but I have seen alot of posts about people on the form buying the ebay ones and not having any trouble with them. Might want to do a search on the form about them before buying them though to insure it be fully compatible with your car

Thanks a lot !
Well it's been a week or so and my car will finally be coming out of the shop looking brand new again :)
I will take some good Day time pics as soon as I get it back!
I was gonna do major changes but due to the ugly Check I received , I at least got it fixed with no outta pocket money.
No Bi-x for now :/ but new bumpers and grill

So I Got some IPhone pics of my car but it sucks I can't upload them thru the phone...
I will have them up by tonight..
PS. I fuc*ing love this car..it's the best car ever!

Took a few over the weekend...more coming soon with future mods on the wayy

offset of the rims could be more aggressive. they look sunk in.

Doesn't bother me in person ...you mean wider tires ? Cz I see what you mean now

probably a 10mm spacer in the back and 5 in the front to make more aggressive.

Thanks guys for the inputs, ima noob still so don't be too rough LOL
Can you give me a good idea of where I can look at some good spacers,coilovers and even some rotors and brakes?

Usually spacers come up on the classified section on the forum. If theres non there what I do is go to H&Rs web site and they have a list of places were you can buy them either locally or if theres non close buy most of the stores they have there either have a web site you can order from or you can have one of the other shops ship it to you and pay over the phone. For coilovers you can try a aftermarket auto shop close to you or tirerack.com has some too.

I agree some spacers to make it look more aggressive would look alot better too

Thanks man I appreciate it.
I guess that will Deff. Be my new move...some spacers !
A couple future mods I also have in mind are to tint my tail lights but dont know if I should do the middle brake light as well
I wanna lower my front a little but can't go with the slammed look because it's already an obstacle course around my way and I already go like 10 mph lol
I need some good looking rotors plus brakes
I need to change those ugly yellow side markers..maybe clear or smoked
Maybe get some Bi-x headlights (I love how they change the whole face)
And last but not least I need a new head unit...this old radio is good but not for 2012 lol
BTW quick question, is it just me or the Bose speakers are like the best stock speakers ? I like the sound I might not change that for a while :)

Quick pics over the weekend..
