C240 Black Series

Start of with some info on my car. Its a white 04 c240 4matic. i have replaced the stock wheels with the sport 5 spoke wheels and better air filters. Thats about it.

I have been wanting to change things up a bit. I am leaning on plasti dipping all the emblems black all the chrome on the doors, handles, and trim pieces. I may plasti dip the wheels black for now until i have them powder coated black. What are your guys opinions? does anyone have a white w203 that been blacked out that can share a picture?

Also, does anyone know how much HP the M112 and tranny can hold before internal mods need to be done?

dont plastidip the wheels, its way too tacky. plastidipping the trunk emblem is tricky so i didnt do it. i have a black car anyway and itd look off in my opinion. i did my grill and it was easy. the chrome trims are easy to do, you can pull them off to make the job easier.

More power than you'll ever be able to mod it to make.

I have a friend that has a c32 that he put a rear mounted turbo on. Now we are looking at doing the same to my c240. So could I add about 100 to 125 safely?

I dont think the 5 spokes look that good plasti dipped or painted black. Just something about the design that doesn't flow right when painted dark colors. Also painting your wheels black doesn't make it a black series. Also about the emblems. I tried painting mine black while the emblems were on the car and it just came out super sloppy. Plus its kinda scary because if you mess up a bit the black paint will show easily on your white car. I would recommend de-embleing, then if you don't like how it looks de-embled you can just paint the emblems black while they are off the car then put them back on.
Either way good luck!

youre gonna have to find a shop that really knows what theyre doing with the ECU to get your car turboed. its easier to do it with a car already using forced induction than a non turbo engine. its going to require a lot of fabrication to get it to work.
