Hey guys. I picked up my C350 about three weeks ago and I have been loving it. I has the MM package, the P2 package, iPod integration, but sadly no 18" wheels. I was looking for a white C350 but sadly they were all sold out. Iridium silver caught my eye as well however, and it has REALLY grown on me since. Here are some pictures.






The Palladium's my sister's 08 C350. Our entire family actually belongs in the Mercedes Family, with an additional S550 and R350 in the garage. So I'm just a new member saying hello. My future mods so far are probably going to be clear side markers, HID fogs, LED eyelids, tints, stealth bulbs, and a CF lip/diffusor as my final. If I could get some help on where to get HID fogs that would be nice. Haha.

So it's been about three weeks since I got the car, and sadly, I scraped the bottom on one of those little parking bumps in front. When I parked it, it didn't scrape or anything so I assumed it was fine, but apparently, (or I forgot) that the car settles and lowers itself after being parked.........and...well you know. I'm sure others have had this issue, and I was wondering how it might go about being fixed....? I think one of the bolts might have come loose too. I'll take pictures of that tomorrow. :[ I was on the verge of breaking down on the spot. As soon as I heard the scrape my heart dropped.

On a final note, I know this is the W204 forum, but does anyone have any idea who's car this is? I saw it at the mall a month or two ago. Gave me a hell of a laugh. Sorry, cell phone pics.




Hope I'll be seeing you guys around!

 

omg that wannabe e is horrible...

furthermore, your car does not lower or settle after being parked- there is no air suspension and if anything, the removal of the drivers weight should raise the car, not lower it.

enjoy your new ride, keep us posted on the mods!

 

Yes that wannabe E is indeed horrible, but to respond to that second part, that doesn't make sense cuz when I was parking it, it didn't scrape, but when I was backing it out, it did.....D:? And yeah I'll definitely keep you posted.

 

Did you add additional weight to the car when you were pulling out of your spot?

 

If by additional weight, you mean a bagel, then yeah. X_X.

 

LOL...I guess that heaping mound of cream cheese or lox did you in. :-P

 

sorry this is a lil off topic but nice house and most importantly nice cars!

 

Thank you Royce! And it was ONE bagel. No cream cheese.....only some cinnamon sugar...D: Grr.

 

Welcome! Dont worry too much about your bumper. Things like this happens quite often on our cars. Gotta change your driving habits I guess?

 

That is one well optioned, sharp lookin' car!

 

Congrats! you can get the HID's at Stealth Auto and your bulbs too.

 

Thanks for the compliments guys! I guess I'll have to make due...but after inspecting it a bit more..I think one of the clips/screw/bolt or something may have fallen off. The little hole in the bumper where a bolt/screw would go in is basically torn open. So it's like, an open circle...D: If the time comes when I need to fix it...so be it. Hopefully I will have learned by the time I get a CF lip.

And yeah, I'm looking into stealthauto.com but I'm not quite sure about what bulb codes I need. I guess I'll pull out the owner's manual tomorrow.

 

Quick side note, would these http://store.ijdmtoy.com/ProductDeta...SKU27&CartID=1 LEDs work for my eyelids? Has anyone here tried these? How are they?
