My intro to everyone
Hi everyone, just came onboard this forum. Wanna do a quick intro, bought my 2004 C230K beginning of the year, and boom there comes the 05 
with AMG kit and all other goodies .Yeah I guess I am not the only 04 owner thats this pissed off. But I love what I drive, just a bad timing I guess. Anyways, heres some pic of my car. Nothing special, still trying to keep it stock. Bi xenon on its way from Germany 
Rims are out of the question, yes I do not intend to drop my car at all.
Was thinking of getting either the AMG kit or a NAV/DVD, what do you guys suggest?
Oh by the way, can anyone make me a cool signature pic? Thanks in advance.

CD COMAND is still good IMO. i have it and love it. welcome aboard and son't sweat the small stuff. the interior of the 05's are really nice but all in all the W203 is still a great model.

Thanks for the welcome...and the comfort hhahah but yeah I have to admit, the 05 is definetly a killer. I just love its overall appearance as well as the upgrades. But hey afterall, its still a W203
Oh by the way, NAV/DVD I really meant by an aftermarket one. Primary choice was the Pioneer all in one. I really like it, no more double deck to have both DVD and NAV, and it reads MP3 too. Only thing stopping me from buying it right away was...:cough,cough: I am afraid it will get jacked one day. :p

Does anyone know if the 05's suspension is lower than previous? SOmehow they look lower than my car. Could it be the kit thats making more ground effects? I havent really measure the gap, but just by looking at it.

Yeah the 05's are a little bit lower. I want to say that it's 15mm lower in the front and 5mm lower in the rear but don't hold me to those numbers. On the MBUSA website it says: "Lower and sport tuned suspension" under the Sport Sedan section.

The numbers sound about right... they're posted somewhere on these threads... The 05's do come with a lowered and "sport-tuned" suspension.
AMG Suspension & AMG Sway Bars is one of my upcoming projects for my C320 Coupe... We'll see how that goes. In the meantime:

C320 Coupe
that c coupe in the background of the first picture of your car is probably the first c coupe i've seen without the panorama sunroof.

C320 Coupe
i know saprissa, we're rare! if you've ever seen the user TNblkc230wz, he has a c320 coupe. i've only seen one other one in my town down here, but i hear there are at least 2 in addition to mine. never met anyone else (in person) with one.
in any event, it seems like the c320 is pretty rare. and yours even more so cause you have yours all modded and awesome

C320 Coupe
awesome, thanks a lot for the advanced potential help haha.
i've also had my car for a year, but it's leased, so i am iffy about modding it, ya know? i'm also still unsure if i'm going to buy the car from the lease or get a new one in '07. so we'll see - but if i do anything, you'll be the first person i unload all my questions on
