Hello again!
Hello all,
So I've been posting on these forums for over a year now, before my current vehicle I had a 2006 C230(w203) with some minor modifications HID Headlights and Fogs, Smoked sidemarkers, 15% Tint all around, F900BT Pioneer in dash navigation. Unfortunately that car was a total loss, but thankfully I'm alive and thats what matters. After owning that car I don't think I could own anything else.
So I went out and purchased a w204. 2008 C300 4MATIC - Black, with Black leather, 19,000 miles, heated seats, HID's, Panoramic roof, folding backseats(which I didn't realize was an extra option until later), Full flip out command navigation center with iPod kit already installed. This car is amazing, figured I would post some pictures because I got the car washed after the crappy snow storm, and did some further cleaning when I got home.
Sorry for the crappy iPhone pics. =](not
)
As for future mods - I already placed an order with Mike for 4 sets of 8000K LED's for the brows, sidemarkers and license plates.
I have a set of 8000K D1S coming to go along with the smoked sidemarkers I already received.
Next is HID fogs, tints and remote start, then roof spoiler/3 pc trunk spoiler.
Eventually around spring time I'll find a nice set of either 18's or 19's in black/chrome to put on there and a CF diffuser with quad tips.
Hope you enjoy =]

Congratulations on your new purchase
You'll be surprised on how much of a difference it will make just by changing out your orange sidemarkers

I know I'm psyched to put em in, just waiting on the leds and HID's ordered so I can do it all at once. Right now I got the crappy "ultra" bulbs from pep boys which are still better than the orange ones.
I want to tint the white parts of my taillights, or find taillights with the middle blacked out, I found a set but I don't know how much I trust eBay =]

Am I the only one that prefers the orange side markers? I bought some smoked ones and ended up putting the orange ones back in... I feel that the smoked ones just don't look right.. I kind of felt like a ricer..
So on a side note, if anyone wants some smoked side markers, I've got some to sell

I just put the smoked sidemarkers on today, I think they look so much better than the orange ones. Also installed the leds I ordered from Mike in the sidemarkers and the eyelids. The sidemarkers are a pain in the *** compared to the w203. The cup behind the fender that holds it was such a pain. Anyway, it looks so much better now, I'll post pictures tomorrow after I install the license plate leds, and once I get feeling back in my fingers, damn its cold. =]
