[B]Need Help With CL203[/B]

I have a 2002 (11/01) C230 Kompressor Sportscoupé (I believe that's the official name). Did a bit of research, pretty sure I have the M111.981 engine. So far I've done:
• HID conversion to headlights and fogs (12000K headlights, "BLUE" fogs)
• LED conversion to fogs (which caught fire and destroyed the SAM for my fogs
• Removed S/C Muffler
• Resonator Delete
• Magnaflow muffler (still debating whether I like it or not, I'll decide after the excitement of a new sound wears off)
• Blue LED dome lights and white LED map lights
• Blue LED parking lights (trying to find decent white ones)
• Plastidipped wheels
• Tinted windows

I recently came across CoupeCrazy03's thread and was eating it up but I'm unable to track down half the things I wanna do, such as the RennTech Spoiler and Brabus front and rear lips. Also looking to get front and rear fender flares and make it nice and wide.

All things you mentioned are not produced anymore it's hard to get any aftermarket stuff anymore, sadly. Keep checking on the classifieds here and on eBay, as they come on every so often. Check infected' for sale thread on this subforum - hs has or has some coupe stuff for sale and you may get lucky.
You would need a computer to be able to post pics. Once you do, mbworld does offer free hosting here if you create a personal gallery.

Ah, Tommy, nice to talk to you again. Thank you for the info! I'll check it out right away! And ah nice! Took a few pictures to post after work today so I'll be putting them up once I get to my room tonight.

I just brought his for sale thread up to the top. Looks like there's still some stuff for sale. Not many people are doing things to these c coupes.

Tommy got some bit parts for sale on another thread,...

AarBearr, I noticed you inquired infected about his snowboard rack on another thread, but I'll answer here,.... the OEM ski rack (both old black plastic-rubber style and newer aluminum style and also full width or half width version) will fit snowboard as well as ski.

Sometimes finding these parts are just a matter of timing,... as I was selling my OEM roof rack for coupe (quite rare) with 2 bike holders and 1 ski holder since early summer - even offered to sell them to Tommy when he dropped by Toronto. Heck, he could have picked them up for you since you guys are from Jersey. Anyways, I ended up posting them all summer long on kijiji (similar to craiglist in Canada) for $300. Took forever to sell,.. only sold them about a week ago. One of the reason why it took so long to sell was because another guy in my area also had roof rack for coupe with 1 bike holder for sale for $350,.... I undercut that guy and sold mine for $300 with an extra bike holder and ski holder!

I had no idea they made an OEM one! Probably discontinued by now though, just like everything else for these cars.. You have anything available for sale? And you said Tommy has stuff for sale, too?

In the "Parting Out" subsection of the classifieds here, but doesn't sound like anything you'd be interested in. But you never know.....

Given my current CEL, I may have a whole bunch of aftermarket stuff to part out in a month or so, too.
