ADVICE NEEDED FOR MODS TO A BEGINNER

Hi

I am in desperate need of advice for as i would like to mod my silver c230 but dont know how to start. I would like to change the grill such as the design and the color, and i also want to know if i can add some exhaust pipe like the c63 amg (if its possible). I have no clue where to purchase the parts and how to go abouts changing it... so any help would be great

thanks ! but yeah i ordered the grill and got some rims too

next step im thinking of getting eisenmann exhaust. the thing is because i only have a c230 it only has 201 hp, and 181 lbs of torque. i dont know how it will sound because my hp and torque are quite low

BUT the one shown in the video is apparently the eisenmann race as i was told by a campionishop seller, and it is exactly the same car as mine. what do you guys think ?

What I hate about alot of these quiet (and expensive) non "race" exhausts is they are so quiet you can hear the engine rev over them during shifts...it justs sounds poopy. Plus when the car holds revs the exhaust isn't loud enough for my tastes.

THAT'S EXACTLY THE PROBLEM FOR ME! I don't want my car to sound like its farting, but I also really want (so badly) the quad exhaust.

What should I do ? Q__________Q

Yep. thats one of the things I miss most about the C63. The rear, its like kim kardashians *** on your face lol. I got all the parts (extra set of tips, C63 diffuser, brackets and x pipe) sitting in my trunk, its just a matter of finding time to put them on my C300

Yah man, the quad exhaust Is just too sexy. Kinda makes me regret not getting a c300/350. Anyhow there's has to be way to me to get those quad exhaust on without having what people judge as farting. (IMO the sound of the eisenmann isn't that bad, then again I am not very experienced -___-)

The C230 W204 was sold in 08/09 in Canada, some parts of Europe and in Japan. Why IDK??

Popular Wheel Brands are: Vossen, Tsw, and Niche (which I'm going With). From All My research. Many manufactures. Don't make 19" and 20" wheels for our w204. There is a great Vossen Rep on here. Search him out. Hope this helped Good Luck.

Dude, you REALLY need to try the search feature on this site as recommended to you several times already. There is a TON of info on here that you can find with that. I'm fairly new to this site as well, so I'm not trying to beat you down by any means, but spend a little time on here and you can probably answer you're own questions. But any way here is a link you should read, has all the dealer part #'s for you as well as what you can expect to pay(ballpark) or check ebay if you want to go w/ different aka fake AMG tips.
