Finally got our c200 SE looking the way we want.....

Hi All,

Well, we've not had our c200 SE long (1 month ish maybe) but we finally got it looking the way we wanted.

Sport grill, flat bonnet badge, chrome fog surrounds and AMG CL65 rims. Would have gone for 19's but i had a spare set of 18" tyres sitting around doing nothing. Hence the 255 dunlop sp's on the rear and 225 goodyear eagle f1's on the front. Not looking to do anything more to it at the mo as it is basically our family car for carting us around in together and we have other toys to work on ;-)

hope you like









regards
Amo

Looks great! I love how you don't have side markers on your car.

The car looks great! Add light tints to the windows to give a better look

merecedes c200k 2009
I have the same car here. I put on mine the roof spoiler and the lip trunk spoiker. I also added the chrome lid on the trunk. I applied Suntek 20%tint on the windows and they look very nice. I substitute the original 16inch rims for 17 inch oem 7 spoke. Yours looks very nice
i will try to post photos

Those wheels look so much better against black. I have the same against white and yours look so much nicer.

Weren't you also installing the mesh in the lower grills.

You vinyled the chrome on the trunk and along the bottom of the windows but not along the top of the windows? You should finish it!

I think tint and paint the silver slats on the grill would look nice.

Thanks, yeh i was going to as i got the lower bumper inserts as part of a sport pack but to tell the truth imo i dont think the mesh goes with the sport grill. Also the chrome fog covers that came with the mesh inserts had two extra straight bits sticking out either end which looked odd. Maybe its just me but i prefer the slats....atleast on this se bumper anyhow.

@richard2011
I have not vinyled any part of the car that is how the SE model in the UK comes. To balance it out i may add further chrome bits as i actually prefer the chrome against the black.

Lucky that ur car came with that part black cause I was thinking on painting mine or using vinyl to make it black. Your car comes with no front bumper lights and back trunk piece black, you got a good package with ur car

Looks good to me!

Just a little worried about the SP9000s. My experience: Great when new, awfull (noisy and bad on wet surface) in season II.

Thanks for the kind words guys.

bk968 its a mixture of snow and rain here in the uk right now and they seem ok, infact they seem to provide better traction than my falken 452s on my 330ci. though like you said a little noisy.

Im just glad i could use them, they were sitting in the garage doing nothing so since there virtually brand new i saved myself some ££££ when buying the wheels.

oh if any ones interested heres some pics of my daily drive:

Thanks for the comments guys, as for the wheels i try and keep all mods looking oem.

will38 yes both cars are manual. I prefer manual to auto simply as i enjoy driving and being engaged in the process as much as possible. Would'nt know what to do with the left side of my body if i had an auto lol
