I noticed with my Lexus IS300 that most people saw the car and it stuck out tremendously especially since mine was heavily modded (everything except FI). I know slapping on some wheels and slam the car that the car will have a more aggresive look to it. How do you guys make your C32/55's stand out more (looks wise) than just a C230 K or C320?? Thanks

 

I stomp on the pedal.

 

I search the forum for ideas because I don't want to look

 

i got the Brabus Front Bumper to differentiate myself from the new c230's and c320's with sport package AMG style bumper. unfortunately, 1) my car is black so can't be seen much, some people don't even notice it 2) lots of people think my front bumper is just a small lip, 3) lots of normal w203 seem to be getting the same bumper. honestly lots of people can't tell it's a Brabus bumper, but the fact that it's a different design and that it's lower gives it a more agressive stance. people don't point it out, but it just contributes to the theme. don't get the Brabus bumper though or it'll be too played, maybe the Carlsson C-RS one if you decide to get a new front bumper? that one looks very unique.

go with an exhaust, that certainly attracts attention, and most people don't expect such a sport tone from a mercedes :p well this can be in your opinion if you don't like it loud or not...some people like it quiet and classy but i like mine loud haha, gets lot of attnetion. combined with the supercharger whine, the tone the car produces is very unique and is something unexpected.

i have a few ideas to make my car more creative, but honestly there isn't much out there in terms of exterior modification companies. i mean there's a few but nothing like if you had a BMW E46. i am thinking of molding the 2005 accessories spoiler, and possibly custom hood-vent cutouts like the Brabus CV8 car. also a custom carbon-fiber splitter tray under the brabus bumper, just a very subtle one. i have a black grille and the whole car is black so it's nothing special at all but contributes to a blackout theme kinda. i don't want to overdo it or it's unclean i think, but i think color-matching your grille would be nice. unless your car is black, because then painting the grille black is too common :p plus i'm getting black center wheels with polished center lip eventually so it'll further contribute to my theme of black. otherwise, i don't think there's much to go on for MB W203's...

widebody makes you stand out haha. a nice sound system can make you somewhat stand out...but i don't think this car is meant to be too flashy. it's more understated in nature but can be agressive.

 

Part of the reason why I like the C32 is because it is a sleeper. Not many know what's under the hood.

My best recommendation would be 19" rims and lower or buy an M3

 

bleh...personally i don't think mine stands out, but when my roommate drove the car last time he said a lot of people were looking.

 

Great answer!

 

put a widebody! hahahah

 

Go for duelees to match the widebody, that'll make 'em notice!

 

Speaks from experience...

 

Carbon Fiber!!!!!

 

Sell it for a real sports car. Sorry, but if you really want to turn heads, the C ain't it. Something like a tricked out Porsche might do though... :p

 

I dunno why but for some reason my C-class attracts a lot of attention from chicks.... I mean i feel that my ML55 looks more uber pimp, but the ladies have this thing for hte C.. i dunno why!
