HakkinenL's C200K - The Transformation (18s, lowered, door trim, DRL) Lots of Pics !!

Finally, i have decided to do a step-by-step mods that i have done to my car. It is a C200K Luxury without the sports package.
Autobots, Transform ! Just Kidding.

Day of signing the purchase agreement. My 2005 C230K Avantgarde meets its successor.



Color changed to Obsidian Black before taking delivery of car.



Totally stock

Amazing work. . but why didn't you just get a Black Sport Model with aluminum trim?

I LOVE those rims . . first W204 that I've seen with them. DRLs are looking great as well.

Thanks bros for the comments !

I could have bought black on black. There are a few black cars available but non of them has black interior. All grey interior. I would have to wait at least 3 months for it. Then there was one silver with black interior sitting there.....

I am still having single tailpipe. So nothing great about rear yet. :-(
Lets do that for Phase 2 ?

So did you switch out the trim around the AC and buttons with aluminum trim?

Nice ride bro

All you need now is the tail pipe...until you get sick of the 18s and switch to 19s...

Actually, make that 20!

WOW great transformation.....

Now you have to go for other exhaust, have you allready made a choice??

Go for the Brabus ones ;-)



You have a luxury (avantgarde/elegance) rear bumper??
You can buy the spoilers that i have over the exhaust... i havent seen anyone here in The Netherlands who have that on their W204.

I'm waiting for phase 2

I am running PIAA. Too bad there is nothing in the market that is white. It is either slight yellowish or bluish LEDs.
