Finally, long over due, chrome trims deleted... no time to take pictures of a clean car since I love living in a new area !!
Car has also settled big time, ended up replacing rear tires after 2nd alignment due to feathering on rear insides (way to much toe from dealer) all is good now...

Beautiful car - I am still in chicken mode as far as removing the lower chrome on the door....looks good on and off, maybe it has to do with the color of the car...
Man, they really jam the houses in up there huh?

Whats your reason for more rear pads than now?
The super sports are more stiffness than the oem shocks are designed for. So if your ride gets bouncy, especially with a load of people and towing a seadoo, consider the bilstein B8's that are designed for stiff high drop springs:

I have read good reviews when used on the W204's with super sport springs.
BTW, part #'s for rear pads: https://mbworld.org/forums/5386011-post275.html

Front is lower than back, kinda like the rake look, running stock spring pads, didn't want the smaller ones as the rear will look lower as it kinda tucks

I would not do the spring pad if I was you.. Also one more thing you could do to set off the car even more. Get black out tape from like pepboys and black out all of the chrome trim around the windows! I did it to my black C and it looks sick

The B8 shocks are only available for the RWD models, as the front struts for the AWD are changed where they attach at the bottom, to make room for the front axles.
H&R only list SS springs for the RWD models. The OP has the RWD SS's mounted on an AWD C300, with no apparent issues. But only the B6 springs will fit on the AWD models.
Thanks to the OP (deaner1979) for the PM.

Wheels/tire combination
Wheels look great, esp. as they're so close to the wheel arch. Just a comment though - the tires look a bit small on the rim, in that they don't project beyond the rim as usual. Prefer that look myself and it does protect the rim a bit also, but its your ride (and they'd probably rub if they were bigger!) Good job.
