w203, got rice?

I went to a "tuner" shop in the South Bay a few days ago and I saw this parked outside. I figured that many of you would enjoy this so I decided to take the pic on my mobile (I had to shrink the image down to 800x600 though)...

The smoking of the tail-lights aren't bad, but the rest that was done to this poor c240...
The funniest thing is that the exhausts are ac schnitzer!

Seriously, just taking that thing off, is going to cause damage to the trunk lid.
He's going to have to replace the whole lid.

Someone please tell me this is a Wiedermann photo-shop joke.

All it needs is a nice subtle C32 AMG spoiler. The wheels ARE nice !
The dual exhaust looks cool, and the drop and smoked lights are good too !

There is no need to find a picnic table if he goes on a picnic.

It might be a 320, notice the color matched door handles.

I guess that's a plus. But then he should just take the wheels off, and leave it in the middle of a park !

The mod which allow his doors to open up and underbody lights are the only things keeping this from being a true Ricer-Mobile. Was there a PS2 in the back seat?

Ah, good eye! I didn't notice that. I assumed 240 b/c I saw a 240 at the same place that was slammed with 20inch rims. But that was the extent of the mod so I really didn't think much of it... I was actually leaving the place when I saw it on their lot, and I had to stop and just take a picture of it...

I'm pretty sure the exhaust is a leftover part from BMW 5-Series tuning or just the tips. No clue...

Check out that MR2 next to it, it has an unpainted hood (er) rear scoop...

I can't believe that car is still there at the same spot. I went to that shop in Gardena to get my coilover install about half year ago, and I notice that car. I was laughing my a$$ off when I saw it. my friend that works there told me that it belong to some indo guy. Just a side note, these rims are 5zigen.

Is there any purpose for wings like this? Does it help when your turning fast or racing?

Yeah originally those big wings had a prupose back in the sixties there was a muscle car that had a big wing like that. It puts down force on the back of the car to prevent it from lifting up and to increase traction. They are ugly and overkill unless you going to turn it into a drag car. They could atleast paint them.

I guarantee you that it is not a photoshop, it's an actual picture, the only change I made to it was reducing the size to 800x600 to fix the forum attachment size. The reason why it looks grainy is b/c it was taken with my Nokia 7610 (which is only 1 megapixel). Plus, mugennsx has also seen the same car...

Oh, don't you just love rice?
