Man... something should be done about my car.
Looking at other pplz cars in here made me realize my car look old and boring compering to these cars in here.
really my car looks like a 10 years old car which needs a lot of work!
First, the paint. there must be something done about it. in the front there are dozens of chips and scratches. and a little dent on the right side of the front bumper (stupid garage :@ they did it)
plus the paint look old. doesn't shine anymore. sad! (I dont want wax cuz i'm not in a mood of conserning my self about putting it, removing it and changing it or whatever).
Second, clear or xenon lights... Those ROCK! I must get them. But i guess they're too expensive and i cant afford them. though i hate the new rear lights. i like mine more.
New grill, I love the new grill. how much is it? and what about the grill of the bumper?
As for the interior... I'm thinking about doing something exotic with it. Any ideas? it is getting old and dirty and i want some change.

O.K so which of these is the correct answer for this post.
1. You are bored and just wanted to type something?
2. You are into comedy and want to try out your new stuff?
3. You just bought a fire suit to hold off the flames!!!! Ding Ding Ding.... Winner...

they can clean the paint?
and i have no idea how much those lights costs, thats why i said "i guess".
and when I said the interior looks dirty, I didn't mean dirty as it needs to be cleaned. no. the seats just changed color. some plastic turned black and stuff like that.
I always clean the car and wash it daily.

You can try and have some of the scratches buffed out..
Clear head lights $650 and Bi Xenon prices$1150 are from Steve ..
As for plastic turning black............ That sounds like dirt to me......

O.K if you do the following you can help us, help you.....
1. Fill out the information on the user cp about your car and where you live.
This way a person trying to help you will not have to search to find out that you don't live in the USA, that you drive a c200 coupe and the year of the car.
2. Post a picture so we can see what your issues are... This way a cheaper solution might be suggested.....

ok, tomorrow i'll take some pictures and post them.
anyways, I've been thinking about using seat covers. There is a girl with me at college that drives an audi tt. she has her interior all covered in Zebra Fur!
something like this...
now i'm not sure if it was done professionally or she just bought it off a car shop, but it looks fitting perfect on her seats.
thats one idea.
another thing i thought of was...
but i'm not even sure how much such a thing would probably cost.

plus the paint look old. doesn't shine anymore. sad! (I dont want wax cuz i'm not in a mood of conserning my self about putting it, removing it and changing it or whatever).: I agree with Drew, get it cleaned. there are cleaning process which will clean of contaminants and oxidation. take it to a body shop and get a price for the dent removal.
Second, clear or xenon lights... Those ROCK! I must get them. But i guess they're too expensive and i cant afford them. though i hate the new rear lights. i like mine more. : the 05 halogen lights I think are around $350-$400. check ebay for a used set, Steve also sells them. I'm not sure about his prices they probably are close, but don't quote me. email him and ask s_krabbenborg@hotmail.com. the BIX lights are about $1200 or so i think i never bought them, mine are factory. but do a search for the answers or email Steve.they really make a difference and well worth it.
New grill, I love the new grill. how much is it?: The new grill I think is $200 or so. i bought mine in around april or may. again Steve is the man with the answer and a great resource! you can score a deal with a package of new lights, grill and blinkers from steve. the grill of the 05 bumper would require an entirely new bumper. if your talking about painting them, like i painted mine, any body shop can do that! cost me $200 to have it done. requires a lot of masking though.
As for the interior... exotic: can't help you out with that. not my thing!

thanks dude.
I never knew that ur bumper grill are painted! they looked so good! but still 200 bucks just to paint them is too much. could spend them over something more useful, like mp3 player :p
Oh, talkin about that. i'm going to search the forum to see how i can install one in my car. if its easy, and the player is cheap, i might get one.

yeah my mesh was painted at a body shop. the reason it cost so much was because the sides around the fog lights required major masking. every little diamond needed to be masked off. the side pieces are solid, with the exception of the hole for the screws, the hole to adjust the fog lights and the temp. probe on the right side. i didnt feel like masking and paid them to do it all. thanks for the compliment though!

Now all you need is some matching fuzzy dice off the rearview mirror and your set..

Your right Citron...
But there's tastefully different and then just plain
..Zebra style Wal-Mart seat covers definitely would fall into the latter, especially on a benz...

As I just mentioned, There is a girl I know in college who has Audi TT (which I believe is more pimp than my benz) And those zebra style looked so cool on her car!
But my taste is probably screwed :P:P
