really nice mods, have u made a decision of which exhaust you gonna go with? i got the white c250 and also thinking of brabus or vath exhaust, brabus is really deep sound but quite expensive and only use one silencer with 4 pipes not like other brand...

I think those may physically fit directly into our 204's bumpers without any cutting but the wiring looks like a nighmare. Then there is the question of codes being thrown.

So far only Quad Pipes.
The Eibachs are working fine cos i have not done many miles on this car.

Off topic..... Around May this year, 2 a**holes walked into my home with gun & machetes. With the gun pointed to my head, they kept asking for the key to my car. I won't go into details but i can only say they left with some LVs & Pradas & my Tag Heuer - Mika Hakkinen edition.
They failed to get my car.

Thanks bro !
One school of thought is if i did lose my car, i can use the insurance money to get a new car with the new CGI engine!
But nay....i consider myself very lucky already.

The dealer charged me $1600 for it.
Outside paint shop would have just settled for about $1000.

Yes, from a Mercedes dealer.
Sorry bro, i am not located in the USA, I believe it will cost you more in your country.
I thought about white too, cos it makes the AMG bumpers really stand out.

Did the Eibach's settle any more after you took the pictures of the car lowered? Or it has still maintained the same height?

Where are you located btw? Good to hear nothing happened to you and your car when you got robbed. LVs, Pradas and watches can be replaced.

Stay safe. Cheers!

Thanks bro. I am located in Malaysia. This is the 2nd incident someone tried to rob my car. The 1st one was along the street, i was driving the W203 C230K Advantgarde.
I have not actually measured it. But it does look like the car is slightly lower now. I also have a 12" subwoofer box at the trunk. So it should affect the height in the long run.

All the dealers did not have any cars that has black interior at that time. The only black interior was this
silvered luxury model. So i had to waste some $ to paint it black.

If you have the time and if its not too much trouble, it would be nice to see a picture of your car now with the springs settled. How are the roads in Malaysia? Do the Eibach's cope well and did you notice a change in the ride when you had them installed? I'm from the Philippines so the roads here are real rough. I want to enjoy a more sporty stance for my car but at the same time, I don't want to destroy my spine while driving over rough roads.

What's your sound setup like?

Looks like you need to hire a body guard over there!

My car got stolen last week luckily the police recovered the car in 1 piece with not that much damage to it
this damn place is too dangerous, I am gonna pay more for security now, I think I was lucky that the car was stolen instead of robbed by guns pointing at me, primitive scums... damn
