How to screw up your W202 visuals

What is it with you guys, a lot of you seem hellbent on taking a grande old dame and make her look like a sad old tart.

Old ladies don't need facelifts and silicon implants, they just need love and care so they age gracefully but still look like how God (Wotan?) intended.

Regards

Andy

to each is own. some people are into modding cars and others are not. You are not. That is cool. But respect others thoughts. And for the older lady comment, they still need to look good so if body mods are available so be it.

I agree. I think he's got either the wrong board or the wrong section of this board.

I agree, I think you want the W202 section of the forum. Most of us C43 owners don't do anything to our cars visually.

this is the same dude that chimed in about the wheel rubbing topic. when it comes down to it, its not your car and you dont have to drive in it. so honestly who gives a damn. We dont live in a communist country so people are free to make their own choices.

Evolution my friend. The custom/performance industry for autos is one of the biggest. Just think of SEMA.

Here is the C43 that I ruined. However, there is a right and wrong way. I like to think I do it the right way, which probably means keeping ebay parts to a minimum....

HAHAHA!! Vardar has actually cooled down about the modding thing this year. But, even still, we respect the fact that he wants his car to be stock as much we like to mod.

Lol!

hehehe i was shocked to see this post...

I am not a hater guys. I am just brave enough to voice my opinion in the open. None of my comments here are to hurt people's feelings, or to **** them off.

I don't think this gentlemen is my relative LOL, that was funny.

We live in free world like the other gentleman said, get your car painted pink if you want to. I don't care, but please understand me as well as I understand you too. I like the sleeper effect, and I am keeping that way.

God Bless all of you
peace

Sleeper effect, I can understand if you have a monster under the hood of the car. But to honest, the car is more for elegance with some pep than speed machine. Yes the car has power. This is my first amg, first benz at that. I was expecting more from the tuning aspect. 300hp is nice dont get me wrong, but I have had cars (that you would never expect) before this one that would whoop the **** out of my amg and a others at that. I like the class of the car, so I will keep it for now. So since I am not going for power, why not put suspension, rims and some other exterior mods. People have their own style and opinion, imagine if everyone was the same. What a boring *** world this would be.

Can't deny that projectc55. I have thought about boosting the car in the future. I have had a couple turbo cars in the past and boost seems to be the way to get the optimum power. Although the rest of the car may not agree, gears, axles and so on.
