I got a original stock 00 E320,(going for the black and red theme) and over the next few months I'll be getting a nice black paint job-smoke titanium euro pro head and taillights-black rims w/ red back light LED( would 235-40-18's fit or would i need a spacer?)-custom black and red grill-custom door handles w/ a nice red glow-35% tint or whichever is the legal in NYC. So far that's the exterior, need to change the upholstery-a little wear and tear on the leather seats(not sure if I'm going to change that yet), but the big part which concerns me is the body kit.. I want a custom kit, that looks and fits with the finished look. If any of you guys have a picture of their 00 e320's with a custom body kit, post it up. I might be interested. =)

Welllllllll... I don't know if you've checked out this particular forum that much, but with all due respect, you'll find that what you're suggesting will raise a few eyebrows here. First off, here's a good website for reasonably tasteful customizing:

...that said, I really wish I could talk you out of an extreme mod-out of your machine; a clean, restored-to-new, stock machine with springs, tint and 18" rims will turn more heads than a neon lit, plastic kitted rolling Kragen accesories display section. Just think quality, and remember that Mercedes Benz automobiles are the finest in the world (and thats coming from a BMW owner!), and really wern't meant to be made-over.

Anyway, good luck!

Yeah, that's where some of the parts are coming from. I know this might raise a few eyebrows, but where else would i ask questions like this. I mean who better to go to than the MB forums. Your right about that neon; I was hoping to get a photoshop of the car finished. I'm still looking for a nice body kit though, If you even have a suggestion that would great. I wasn't planing to add the minor things like i said with the led lights after i get a body kit, rims, and a paint job along with the new interior.. That's if it would actually go nice with the car, I drive the car mostly at night and if you would see what i explained on the streets at night it would turn heads. Some people might think something different, depends on what they like. I don't want a flashy customed out car to turn heads, I actually like to have it for my own pleasure.

Don't feel bad. I suggested a rally/subaru/type upgrade on my 4matic wagon and got little love and lot's of flak. Do what you want but respect what was done right the first time. just take a look at a bmw of similar vintage and you will see wrong... benz got it right inside and out the first time. AMG/BRABUS type upgrades are mild and well done. Although if you plan on doing what you mentioned to your 210, don't forget the wing and coffee can exhaust. Oh ya, be sure to put regular gas in it . premium cost's too much right?...

absolutevodka

Its 3.09 for 93 cheapest I've seen so far, but I will put roof spoiler and a can exhaust. I might not do all the led light **** but I would like it to look nice.. ill keep the stock front bumper and add a brabus lip and but a nice back bumper so it can sit lower.

SLOPESTAR

I was kidding...low octane gas will kill your car...forum members will kill you if you do the roof scoop and coffee can/ricer exhaust, etc...

absolutevodka

Lol, I never said I would but regular in that car, I just told you what the price was. I also wouldn't bother with a roof spoiler, that would ruin it. As for the exhaust there's no way I'll get a ricer exhaust(ha), I'll end up putting a standard AMG exhaust(maybe oval?).

I went to 212 Motoring, and I decided to work with them after my engine problem yesterday. I'll be getting a sweet black paint job, Brabus add-on lip- Sarona back bumper and side skirt(attachment)- 235/40/18" Giovanna GG rims 105 or 505(black-would look amazing imo)- New interior(dashboard, seats, upholstery, new mats)- euro head lights and smoke tail lights- a new grill- idk, how about a air filter kit with a supercharger? should i make it an AMG and get a nice engine cleaning?

-I think your attachment is of a Lorinser body kit for a W208. The Brabus body kit looks different, although I could be wrong.
-Don't badge your car as an AMG. Or, if you do, don't let anyone on the board know about it. You'll receive flaming remarks from some posters and not find much praise.
-Good luck on your quest to transform your car.

absolutevodka

I was going to replace the current engine with an AMG. Tagged or not.

SLOPESTAR

sell it and find an 00-02 e55 and just be done...
