C320-Cav

I would like to introduce myself a little. I am 18 year old living in the Pacific northwest in a area known as Seattle. Woot woot. I have always been a European car fanatic(I am European, born in Bosnia). I used to drive a Audi a6 2.7t but eventually sold back in February since I wanted a black car. My friend used to own the car I currently drive and long story short. It got broken into, stolen, and an attempt was made to try and strip the car but they only got away with the rear bumper and headlights leaving rest of the car in total ****. The thieves, which were stupid, drunk, and high ended up hitting something which caused some front end damage, not a lot tho. Well, my friend was either going to hand the car to the insurance or sell it. I wanted it and took it off his hands. The Car is a 2001 Mercedes C320 with 75k miles and garage kept most of its life.
Here it is:















Current Mods list:

• Inovit Haste Wheels Black with stainless steel
• Airbag suspensions
• Interior lighting swapped to blue
• Steering wheel swap
• HID Foglights
• Brembo Brakes
• Cross drilled rotors
• Eisenmann exhaust
• Carbon fiber hood(Which i hate) lol
• Body kit (Damaged during theft )
• New sound system
• Other things I can't remember

Some of my future plans:

• Fix and iron the damage the thieves left behind
• AMG Front bumper
• AMG Rear bumper
• New trunk
• New hood
• New grille
• Powder coat the wheels
• Super bright white LED interior swap
• Dynavin MC2000
• HID Headlights
• S55 taillights

I am glad to be part of the MBworld community! I will contribute to this forum as much as I can and be active. If anyone has any questions please feel free to ask and comment away
I also have a video clip of the Exhaust if anyone wants me to upload let me know! Cheers

Nice interior lighting. The white would a lot more subtle and cleaner for the lighting. A lot of guys would probably want the cf hood

MBfinatic

Lol I must ask, Why do you not like the CF hood? I love the interior lights.

C320-Cav

It is like 2-tone half carbonfiber half black which in my opinion looks kinda ugly :/

Akhafeez

SSSwweeeett!! very nice work work! looks like you know your stuff.! listen uhm .if you know anything about ESP ..the message came on my dash. would appreciat any help. thank you

ProjectCamaro

Good looking car, welcome to the forum!

C320-Cav

Thank you!
Hmp, there should be a button on the dash above the radio which toggles the ESP on/off. If that doesn't work your best bet would be to check if a fuse is blow and if thats not it your last resort in my opinion would be to check if the ESP is receiving any power to make it function. Happened to one of my cars where the ESP light came on since it was not receiving any electrical power.

Thanks!

and great news! Picked up a rear bumper for 300 bucks with molding and black in color. Pretty excited to get it on the streets

C320-Cav

right next to the hazzard switch to the left is where the ESP on off is. Press the upper part to turn it off bottom part to turn it on. Hope that helped!

ESP can be a lot of issues from the speed sensor thats on your front hub to just having a dieing battery and its not giving out enough voltage making the ESP trip. Sometimes after replacing the battery you have to turn the wheel from lock to lock a couple of times to remove the ESP. Plus which ESP warning is it giving? theres ESP please visit workshop, and theres another. You can locate an indie MB shop that has a STAR diagnostic reader to track down exact why the ESP is being thrown.

Ooooooohhhh is there a sticky on how to change the interior lighting to the blue? That's pretty sick, I'm guessing there's no way to make the orange a different color?

Wow already a really great build, cant wait to see what you do with it and will be fallowing along with your build thread. Also I couldn't tell from the picture but what kind of trunk spoiler do you have? Love the interior lighting btw

C320-Cav

thanks! Ill be posting a new build thread hopfully in the next few months! And the rear wing is from vivid racing from the fabulous production

The hardest part I'd say is taking the dash off. Everything else os easy if your fimiliar with soldering and cutting heh buy a bunch of standalone LEDs and replace one by one on the dash

C320-Cav

Fit a temporary bumper on until I save enough cash for AMG rear and front bumper
But it turned out better than i thought

I just have one issue. Phister has provided me a link with all the necessary parts for the rear bumper but I am not sure what part would I need to get this to fit properly. http://www.mymercedesparts.com/parts...gramCallOut=16
Im guessing its either a guide rail or the harness. Can anyone tell me what it is for sure? Here is a pic as well

C320-Cav

Did some cleaning today of the interior. I don't even know how this got so dirty.



I also ordered;
Rear bumper guides,
Rear bumper rail guides
Rear bumper cover panel
5000k HID's

My state patrol appointment is this week and it will be street ready!
Can't wait!

Tomorrow is my last final as well so I will have more time to spend on the car and start gathering parts I want.

More to come

If i remember correctly the previous owner was on this board as well.

C320-Cav

He sure was. Great memory!! I believe I am the 3rd owner thus far and hopfully last owner
Cheers

samaritrey

Yeah I thought the interior and exterior looked familiar

TruTaing

Pretty sure ive seen this car around Did this car have the fabulus kit? (i see a funky side skirt). Previous owner use to live in Bellevue, right? I'll keep an eye out for this car!

PS - I gotta hear an eisennman in person!

C320-Cav

As far as I can remember when my buddy bought the car off the guy back in 08 or 09 he was in edmonds. And as for the Fabulous kit it does have it but it isn't the original one as far as I can tell(****ty quality.) Im gonna tear it all off come summer and go OEM+ But I'll most likely be going to the Stancewars monthly meet in bellevue on the 27th of this month, if I do not leave to boise by then. Im hoping to see MBworld members there!
Btw the eisennman sounds pretty damn nice

ottonavigps

welcome to the forum...i see your planning on getting the dynavin unit...good idea

C320-Cav

Thanks man
But I am actually debating right now
Dynavin or a BT pinoneer Navi

FraKctured

Wow--great work--very impressive!

Welcome to MBWorld!

The one ive seen around bellevue is just like yours. Had JUST the rear and the skirts, but no front. I imagine the big *** front bumper got destroyed on something.

No stance wars for me as im no where near stanced, but i'll have to meet up w/ ya at some point to hear the thing in person!
