2002 C200 Kompressor
My w203 c200k

I have been a lurker on the w203 forums for about 4 months now and finally decided to start my own thread. This 2002 C200 kompressor is my first car and I am loving it.
First pic is of the mb stock at the dealership, second is just after fitting s63 AMG replica rims with spacers front and rear and the third is after evenly lowering it (+- 35mm in the front and 30mm rear). sorry for smartphone quality images.

The car has around 120000km on the clock and was purchased in April this year and is in a pretty good condition.

I would like to change the headlights and fogs to clear ones; exhaust system and head unit.

I would also like to install the AMG styled spoiler.


current mods/changes
AMG replica rims with spacers.
Lowered suspension.
New battery (old one gave up).
new shock mounts(old ones gave up too).
Powerbass amp and old Pioneer slim subwoofer(self installed).

Any advice/comments is much appreciated.

C230 Coupe
The chrome on the bumper strips and the grille really makes the sedan look great, I wish the coupe had the same moldings instead of the solid color (no chrome) design.

Thanks...I took a look at your coupe and it looks awesome! It must say it looks sportier than the sedan too

honestly i wouldnt even know what sub to recommend. there's so much WATTS to use, anything you put in there will pound (except what you have in there of course for some odd reason ). I'd say alpine type R 12"ers .. 1000W rms for like 200-300$ USD will sure be worth it.
