I love your rims but the whole card..... mehh. But its true, what ever floats your boat. I personally am not a fan of the quarter panels you got there and a no go for me and that Porsche style front bumper.

But you are driving it and not me so have fun.

Have you not read above? The reason why he posted here was to get opinions and other comments about his car. So your claim of "your approval nor anyone else's" is invalid. Heck, anyone that posts pictures of their car on here want some sort of a written opinion.

Loonie, alright that's all I wanted to hear.(see) Apparently when I wrote "seriously" after my comment made it look more negative than what is was intended to be, so without further notice I will be changing it.

No problem. I didn't mean to offend you; (seems to me it didn't) the way I worded my post made it sound negative with the outcome of everyone attacking me...

Sorry

This thread really cracks me up just looking through it. Yes, there are some mods people have done I don't like on their cars. I wouldn't for a second even make a point of telling anyone that their mods are wrong or that they shouldn't have done something (unless I felt it made the car unsafe...).

Some of you act like having a C300 puts you into some elitist secret handshake club where you are handed instructions to make sure your car looks the same as it did when you drove it off the lot. Lets be real here the C300 is the entry model for Mercedes and offers a great deal of opportunity to spruce up the car and modify it to an individuals liking.

Stop trying to defeat the purpose of the forum community to share and express new ideas.

Way to make people feel good about what they bought.

Sorry it's the truth. It's a great car and I love mine. The car should make you feel good without someone having to help you feel good about what you bought

+1 ^. I'm in total agreement. I can't stand it when those people respond to a post of a new grill or unique mod with the cliché, "IMO, that (insert mod) takes away from the classy look of a Mercedes. You should've stuck with the stock (insert bland/boring OEM item)."

Only thing I see wrong with this is that the blades are so tiny! these are like 17s. Blades need to be 20s minimum!

But IMO if you like it, rock it.

This thread is over eleven years old. The caliber of membership is sure to have ebbed and flowed since then. 😊
