It looks great.
Now if we could only find a grill without the big star.

It looks great - makes me really want to get my Renntech spoiler installed NOW!

I like the leather, but I'm a little biased about silver two-tone.

WOW! i really like that 2-tone pattern. the head/shoulders/seat as silver is suprisingly good. i didn't think about doing something like that.

randy, do you have a pic of the rear seats and the back of the front seats? did you do charcoal for the backs? also the door panel pattern. is that so much to ask?

Hope this would help
Nope, I want it gone. It just doesn't look right with 2 logos so close.

Here are the back seats. We did the grill black, and the vent on the hood also. This engine is stock with the exception of pulley kit and reprograming. Power coated the center cover and sanded the tops of the letters.

MB C230 Coupe
Nice car.
Don't really seen many NICE brilliant silver MB's around anymore (the color is abused) hahah.

Anyhow can I ask what kind of lowering springs are on that car? Or is it a coil over system (looks like the owner has a few G's to spend).

I really like the ride height of the car in the picture.
I'm deciding on either H&R Sport or Lorinser Springs (fairly similar in price).

Also could you post a picture of the RennTECH rear spoiler. How does it look?

Regards,
Tommy

Love it! The two-tone looks great- that's what I would consider.
That's desert silver, isn't it?
(The car looks great in any color - even white)

Can't wait for you to post pictures showing the blacked-out grille and the spoiler. Come oooon, already

Here is the rear view. If you look on the front picture you can see that the front grill is blacked out, and also the vent on the hood.

Given enough money, which apparently was spent here, I would keep the star in the grill and have them lose the badge and repaint the hood.

The rear view says CK230. Is that real? Looks photoshopped to me when examined in zoom mode.

All that work and no Panorama Roof.

Overall, it is beautiful, though. Like the leather variant on the upper seats, too.

I was womdering when some one would notice. Yes it's real the customer wanted it that way, so we used a clk 320 badge to get the saame size "k". Did not want the roof he is tall.

I like the CK230, the car needs it's own name. I saw a C230 Kompressor on the back of MB and it was a big four door sedan. Guess MB saves money by using the same letters. Matbe we should all change to CK230.

Any idea how much the pulley and re-program added to the car's zip? A dyno available?

By the way, the spoiler makes the car I think.

I like everything about this car but the tailpipe - I think the big oval one from the C7 looks best since it fills the cutout in the bumper (I may be biased though ).

Hey It has a full package from Renntech springs shocks struts and anti sway bars. 18" rims 8.5 in the front and 9.5 in the rear.

Tires are 225x40x18 front and 255x35x18 rear.

The ride is very controlled and flat. I can drift the rear in and out easley I love it.

I saw them listed for 375.00 unpainted. You would spend between 75-150 to paint and the installe is done with epoxy it's very easy to do.

Would you happen to have a good front shot of the Renntech lower lips that attach to the bumper? All the ones I've seen are for a black car and it's so hard to tell what they look like... so if you have a shot of the silver car with it.. that'd be awesome!
