2004 C240 Sedan
New Here
Hey what's up I'm new here looking to get some good tips on making mods to my car. Here is my baby....My 2004 C240 Sedan. Im currently in search of some wheels right now. Afterwards, I'll be looking into some Halo projectors. But anyways...does anyone have tips or suggestions?

I would first work on keeping the car well maintained and making sure any recalls and so forth have been done to the car. Next I would check out the picture thread, wheel thread, and the wiki page for general DIY, also there is a DIY thread sticky. Searching does wonders.

Yeah, most of what you want has been discussed, so follow phister's links he's got there. What size/$$ range are you looking for on the wheels? The choices are endless, so that would help whittle down the possibilities. Remember that a 240 is not a high hp car (and there are no good hp mods for it unless you're talking engine swap or turbo/sc), so you'd be smart to stick to 18" rims at best and on the lighter side too.
Clear headlights would really help the front end, as the frosties do nothing for it.
Plenty of info here if you put the time into looking around.

I personally am not a fan of all the chrome accents and the grill with the star but that's my taste. if you like it than that's all that matters. Just remember when you get the larger wheels you're car is going to look like a 4x4 and most likely you'll be looking for springs or coilovers after that.
