Hmmm, I'll be honest, so no offense buddy. The grill doesn't appeal to me. You could probably capture it from the front and then post another one here, because one can't really get an exact idea of what it completely looks like. I love the rims though. Overall you've kept it sweet n simple. NICE!

Like the wheels. Dislike the undersized tires on the wheels.

Dislike the grille. Like the the flat badge.

Dislike the extra chrome bits on the bumper. Like the tinted side marker lamps.

Dislike the side mirror treatments.

E for effort, though!

Could you explain what you are looking at when you say the tires are undersized?

The CF fuel door is different. First one i've seen on a w204.

Not a fan of the wheels or grill but that's just MHO. And yes the tires look too small for those rims. Look at the last pic you posted...see that space between the rim and tire...that means they had to stretch the tires to make them fit the rims. Yes they do fit...but you need wider tires to make it fit WELL

Looking good cause is diff compared to other cars and I see that you like the chrome a lot. I think the tire sizes are ok so don't worry about them.

NJBNZ explained it perfectly. Looking at the pictures, I'm assuming the widths are ~ 235(f) and 265(r). On those rim widths, you really need to have them at least 245(f) and 285(r) for it to look right. I understand the reasoning behind stretched tires + lowered ride, but unless it's done for a purpose, it looks chav.

I do like the rims though. Many 19" setups look almost too big for the car but this one matches well.

I actually like the grill, but have to ask.

Carbon fiber gas entry cover, really?
