Hey Frank is this the kit you're currently using?

http://www.o-nex.com/h1.html

How hard is it to install and do I need to install any error cancelers?

new mod: luxury grille. will paint the inserts on it black probably next wk. for now it stays silver.

the double flat badge kinda annoys me, so I will probably put the raised star back on.

crappy iphone pic...enjoy

I hear you there. I want a different emblem to put on the hood but it seems all the alternatives are AMG which wouldn't be cool either. However, I really like the black one that has the image of the tree and valve/spring. I think it looks great since it doesn't have the mb star anywhere on it so no clashing with the grille.

like this one

BTW, looks really good!

put the raised star on.

sold the cf grille long time ago. thought since i'm not going crazy on mods regular grilles would suit better.

Have you thought about using DFWdude's flat white badge on the hood? I think that one looks nice on a white car.

nah, that badge looks nice, but the luxury grille on the 204 already has a flat badge like the old w126. so another flat hood badge felt weird.

Yeap kevin, the hid kit frank is using is from o-nex which I'll be installing as well. Only difference is that mine would be 6000k instead of 4300k.

Actually price wise its about the same for me. DDM doesn't provide free shipping to Melbourne while O-nex does. Another thing from what I know of is that the O-nex kit doesn't require the error cancelers. The xenon settings would probably be required to be changed to present.

Yea saw your pics and they look great.

Frank sorry if we're kinda like thread-jacking your thread. Kevin, you'll have to be a lil more patient. Kit was ordered yesterday and I have no idea how long it would arrive. Added to this my end of semester exams is a week away. Hopefully the kit would arrive before my semester break so I could bring it back to my hometown to get it installed.
