Recently I acquired this car from my wife because she has been given a car as a bonus from her employer. Unfortunately the car originally was in c-class luxury form (sometimes I question my wife's taste, sometimes!). Those who are familiar with this particular model know that it's pretty plain to say the least. So I decided to give the car a face lift, body kit, wheels, suspension etc... This is the finished product after about 4 months in the making.

 

Authentic Wald kit? Are the skirts fp? I've been debating either those skirts or amg reps in pp.

 

Oh boy. Get your flame suit on because its about to get hot in here.

Definetaly not my style at all. Not my car though and modding a car is different between everyone. Thing I don't like the most are those TAILLIGHTS

 

 

I wish I could afford the Wald kit $13k It's the fiber glass kit which was pretty poor quality so it took a bit of labor to bring it up to Mercedes quality fitment level. I'll have to admit that these skirts were the only pieces of the kit that I didn't like. However once the car was off the lift and on the ground they looked much better.

 

Everyone's got there own style and I like a little more than just slamming my car on the ground As for the taillights most c class owners have experienced some type of problem with there lights. After replacing the passenger rear twice because of a short in the factory plug I decided to go with aftermarket LED and haven't had a problem since.

 

Oh god... It makes me sad to see such an amazing car brought to the level of a ricer... you managed to remove every single classy aspect and turned it into a Civic...

 

There's more to slamming a car?! What?!! That's ludacris!!! Haha just kidding.

Yea I agree with you, everyone has their own style like I stated before. This is your style. Slamming and making subtle differences to the appearance is mine.

No problem with getting LEDs to improvise with the faulty factory connections. They just look like the altezza lights that people had on their Hondas in early 2000s

To each their own

 

You mean an amazingly boring car. Classy? why because it's more expensive than a Honda. Ricer? so when Mclarren, Wald, AMG do it whats that? Don't be sad go to your garage and look at your average C and be happy Then grab a good book and cozy up to your fieplace"Boring!!" Whats sad is more people always comment on what they hate rather than what they like
My mother once said if you don't have anything nice to say then don't say it.

My car my way. Sorry I guess

 

I do however like your car very clean.
If this was the model that my wife owned it would have been done exactly the same!

 

Those of us who remember how beautifully tasteful (but aggressive and muscular) the original 500E was don't necessarily think that AMGs are the be-all and end-all of Mercedes modifications. AMG makes fantastic engines that sound great. IMO, they don't modify MBs cosmetically in a way that is particularly flattering. The SLS (in terms of exterior design) is actually rather shockingly crude.

And having seen a few McLaren MP4-12C's, I can assure you that they are surprisingly subtle (aside from the proportions, which are pure exotic) and elegant both in-motion and at-rest.

 

Well, it definitely isn't a lux any more!

When Mclarren and AMG does it they puts a monster engine in their car while civic puts a huge **** spoiler on the back.

 

 

Erm..... As long as you like it.

 

Your wife must be a very patient and considerate woman.

 

Lol wtf...?

Glad you're happy... but, uh... haha.

 

As long as you like it then that's all that matters.

 

Plus that it's un-tradeable to a dealer and unsellable on the open market without a BIG discount.

 

Hopefully the OP still has the stock parts and reverts it before selling or trading it.

 

It's like my mother always told me....
"Rana Rana Rana Rana Rana Rana Rana Rana Rana Rana,
And codeine and goddamit, you little mother******
If you aint got nothin' nice to say then don't say nothin'"
....Uh...

lol

 

aside from the clear taillights and black lower trunk, I like it. I'm a fan of the Wald kits, although i think the bodyshop could of done a better job on color matching and painting, ie. they didn't blend the panels.

Good job

 

at least he didnt slap on AMG badges everywhere...if you did then that would be another crazya$$ story...i like your rims tho...and only your rims..................

 

Man, I was about to write this word for word prior to seeing your post...in addition, I think the fitment is near perfect, love the wheels as they remind me of the E46 M3 wheels which were always a favorite of mine, just do not understand the black vinyl on the lower trunk, kinda breaks up the flow a little for me...

Most of these guys with negative comments would kill just to have the front fenders, and while I normally agree with RLE, I completely disagree this car loses value on the open market. You can never get all mod money back as we know, but this car pulls thousands more than a stock lux every day of the week...lots of spoiled young buyers out there.

Picture 3 is badass...Is this a daily driver for you? If yes, are you a younger guy? ( I am too old to pull something like this off daily...)

One more question - did you intentionally have the exhaust extended past the diffuser that far?

Great makeover, very unique and probably turns heads everywhere you go....One thing not commented on, wife got a car as a bonus??? Not a company car but a "gift"...Nice......
