Damn, your car only has 100,000 km? Nuts.

KW > BC (Germany vs. Taiwan, Deutschland uber alles)

As for wheels...what is the phrase? "Friends don't let friends roll on Rotas"?

Got my calculation for tax return done. Juggling between KW or BC coils, some BBS LM reps, and fixing all the rust on the car (starting to get really bad over the last few months).
Let me know if you'd be interested in my H&R Coilovers going up for grabs pretty soon

I heard that KW rides a bit softer than H&R, how much and when you planning to part those out?

V2's might, V1's are pretty firm.

I'm selling anytime there is a buyer for $1100 all in

Did you ever do the vinyl top on the car? I want to do the gloss black, but I'm questioning how it would look. It looks great on a white car, not sure about silver. We have basically the same car, same color, same year but mine is a C320. They're practically twins.

I actually saw a w203 brilliant silver in Santa Barbara with a black gloss roof, it looks really sick, I have a 2003 c240 and I'm about to get it done, should run somewhere between $80-$160 depending on the place you go to!

My friend's W211 E55 has the pano roof and it looks stunning being all black on the Brilliant Silver paint. So I'm definitely going to be getting that done soon. I know it's been taking me a long time to get that done.

In other news, got my KW V1's installed and forgot to check the clearance and rubbed a huge gouge into my front tires but no worries picked up an W211 E63 to drive around in the mean time while i wait for tires.

Sorry for the delayed response. I like it, but it's kind of got a overly loud sound for the power you make. Sounds nice though. Got it for $160 CAD and paid $100 to install.

Diggin' the thread...

I had a question, I saw you mentioned you had an OEM MB roof rack and saw you had the INNO wind fairing; how was the setup compatibility and also the noise before-and-after? Thanks for the inspiration for the combination.

It's not perfect but with some minor tweaking when fitting it, it'll go together well. Had to keep adjusting it for a while until there wasn't any wind noise.
