CL203 Coupe
Ant's C Coupe Picture Thread

Hey guys, been a member for a while now but have never done much posting so thought it was about time i started my own thread

I am from the UK & have a 2003 C180 Coupe Kompressor, i bought the car stock (old frosty headlights, pink tails etc) in Jan 2010.

Current mods:
AMG front bumper (minus fogs with black aluminium kamei honeycomb grill for cleaner look).
AMG rear bumper (with gloss black smoothed diffuser, the current matt plastic diffuser was damaged so opted to remove it & go for a smooth finish).
Clear Head lights.
05 Euro tail lights (stock, currently in storage).
05 Euro tail lights (glazed black, currently on car).
Gloss black front grille (stock but painted).
2 tone Leather interior including door cards etc (black/beige).
Silver carbon wrapped console with custom decal.
White LED interior lighting.
Private/cherished number plate.
Wind/rain deflectors.
Rear tints.

Here are some pictures:































Not the best pics i know but the weather wasn't great, it was a gloomy day.
Interior is also dirty, pics were prior to interior cleaning.
The licence plate fell off but has been replaced after the pics.


Mods to come:
18" wheels - I have bought a set which are in need of a refurb but am waiting until winter is over (they are similar to advans/joyofcola alloys).
LED arrow mirror covers - I bought these awhile ago but have not got around to installing yet.
LED puddle lights (similar to brabus) - I bought these over a year ago but haven't got around to installing yet.
De-badging (c180 & kompressor badge).

Possible future mods:
Dual exhaust system, similar to C32 AMG Coupe.
Custom rear diffuser.
New steering wheel (like infected's).
New CD/DVD player.
Lowering springs (UK is terrible for speed bumps though).
Sway bars.
etc

Any feedback would be good, let me know what you guys think?

Looking good Anthony! Love the front AMG Styling bumper!
Upload some pics of the 18"s wheels! Maybe someone here could do some photoshop for you.
Im not a big fan of black out rear taillights and i dont know if the OEM ones will look better. Do you have any old pics?

Thanks, i will try to get some over the weekend for you.
They are OEM seats from a newer model, they are also used in the CLC

Thanks Carlos, glad your liking some of the mods.

I know the black out tail lights aren't for everybody, i have had the 05 stock tail lights on for a few years, so when i saw the blacked out headlights available i bought them

Atleast i have 2 sets of 05 tails (stock & blacked out), so if i ever feel like a change i just switch to the other set. If the weather is ok over the weekend i will put the stock 05 tail in for you to see

The alloys are actually the same style as yours in silver (mine are 18x8JJ, ET37), i would post pics but they are in need of a refurb in which i planned to get them finished in black with silver detailing (studs & possibly lip?)!
