Hello AMGer's
So I'm sorta new here. I've been a member for a few months now and I've been reading the threads. I think I posted once asking about wheels. Anyway, it looks like all the talk here are mostly on AMG models, C32 & C55. I DON'T own an AMG, but inherited the wifes 2006 C280 since I had to trade in my TRUCK, 2006 Nissan Titan for an SUV to accomodate our New Twins.
Anyhow, I'm serously bored of this car. Any tips on what I can do to this car? Aside from upgrading the Grandma Looking wheels? Here are some of my Ideas and some I need advise on and where to purchase these parts.

1. Upgrade Wheels 18's or 19's
2. Lowering KIT, Springs or Coilovers (whats good, where can I buy?)
2. Upgrade Brakes (looking for used AMG calipers & rotors. Will this be a bolt on part? How dificult will this be?)
3. I would like the AMG frnt, rear, and side skirts. Body KIT
4. Intake System (Where can I buy? What is proven?)
5. Exhaust (Where can I buy? What is proven?)
- Any thoughts on Eisenman?
- Any thoughts on Remus?

I think that's about it... Please keep in mind this is a Non-AMG model.

Welcome to the forum!

The good news is that most of what you are asking about has been covered previously. Just use the search tool and you'll have more info than you know what to do with.

There's also a non-AMG W203 forum further down that will also have good information for you specific to your model.

Hope this helps.

The w203 forum will be an excellent source for any/every question you might have - most of those guys/gals have already pursued everything you asked about... not to mention 10,000 things you haven't even thought of yet
