Talking Skyline's W204

Hey guys, so I've finished with modding out the cosmetics of my W204, and wanted to share. What do ya'll think?






















They're subtle changes, but I think they work pretty well. Would love to hear some feedback!

Next I'm working on the audio upgrade. I want to keep the set up I have, and only add maybe a 10' sub in the truck where the cargo net is. However, my audio seems to be really quite at times when running AUX. I've looked into getting a pre-amplifier to compensate, but I'm wondering if there's a better option?

A nice and clean look, however I'm not a fan of the chrome accents. I would recommend a sport drop and chrome wheels to compliment the luxury chrome theme.


On a side note: we need a DFW 204 club. And a few meets.

Thanks for the input! ^.^

Eh, I prefer the black and chrome look myself. The wheels are already a gunmetalish chrome with internal black accents. It is kind of hard to tell in the pictures, but they do shine like you would expect from chrome wheels.

As for the Sport drop, I'll agree that it does look way better. However, when I was shopping for the car I test drove some sport models. I can't stand the ride. I expect my Merc to drive like a cloud. I almost opted out of getting a C completely after driving it. I was then convinced to try the luxury model. Well, as you can tell, I was sold. It had the exact ride I was expecting. So, in other words I like my "cloud" ride too much to mess with the suspension lol.

Yes! Total agreement about the meets and W204 club. Even if it's an all Mercedes meet xD

(Bump)

Has anyone else heard of or experiences the same issue with AUX being quieter than other radio functions (FM and audio CD's)? I do have my boost enabled, and my phone's volume is all the way up. I'm really considering a pre-amp before I attempt my sub set up. Does anyone know if this is a viable option?
