Thks Paki.
Dropped it about 1-1 1/2" (not sure as I never had the chance to measure it before and after lowering
). I've got Eibach springs on standard Advantgarde shocks and changed to #1 spring washers (or whatever its called) in the front as I thought the front looked higher than the rear after lowering - actually still not too happy. Maybe someone else in the know could tell you exactly - sorry dude.
IMO the AMG wheels look a bit plain and timid but it does maintain the AMG look. Whilst I'd love to have ones with Mick Jagger lips like Turbo Tuners or yours, I don't have the choice that you guys on this forum have in HK
BTW, great C70 too - seems not too many guys out there modifying those beauties.......

Thanks Merc1, you forgot to also mention the 00+ blinker mirrors .
Its this kind of encouragement from people who genuinely take an interest in fellow E-maniacs that makes this forum so special and makes me want to continue to keep and invest in my Benz.

Whitey,
I noticed the mirror, but I like the way it looks, PURE WHITE.
BTW, if you ever tint the windows, I THINK dont go with dark tint. It will have a big contrast.
Man, I wanted rims like yours, I dont know if you recal, we had a discussion about the rims, afterwards I put it on hold, now looking at your car. I am anxious.
But confused as hell, You told me someone ripped you off.
Anyway, your car looks great. All I did to my car is put a Clarion LCD TV Tuner, In glove box DVD player. Knob. It makes a nice splash at night when the Clarion TV pops out of 2nd din. I left the trim and all factory.
Nothing likes yours, mine is boring.

Unfortunately not legal to tint where I am (I was told) . I have blue tinted windows (an Advantgarde standard) and from the feedback of others in this Forum, it seems to be a sought after option
Besides, I think the blue goes well with my grey interior and the white.
I did get ripped off with the wrong rear wheels - changed them for the right ones :wall - very painfully ($$$$!) and with much diffculty (as no body sells just rear 2nd hand wheels). However, to me the improved handling, much better looks and the lesson learnt (I did the wheels before I discovered this forum!
) was well worth the extra money I had to put into it.
Well, there you have it, a photo of a 98 w210 with 18" AMG wheels (didn't have these pics when you asked, sorry)! However, with the AMG skirts, the wheels do look a tad small for the car, especially when seen in person. Maybe 19"-20" would look better if you intend to go with the AMG kit (whoops, might start another war over that 1"........
). Maybe one day I'll get some Carlssons (Jimmy or Fanatics) or the new AMG style III (std W211 AMG E55 issue).
I'd love to put a DVD or even a VCD in my car but the small amount of time I spend in it does not warrant me spending too much $$ on on-board entertainment.
Did you see pics of my new gearshift/centre console? IMO, this was a small amount of money paid with a great amount satisfaction in return - also thanks to guys on this forum, I was able to be more adventurous and be a bit more individual.
Good luck dude! Be creative if you have the choice - I didn't have much so I went "basic and clean".

I like them, but don't feel like taking my doors apart again. After redoing the audio system I'm sick of it. We'll see. I've got time ...

Know what u mean. I guess having those fender ones kind of breaks the monotony of the fender (I was thinking of putting some badges e.g. "V8 Kompressor" there, but kinda cheezy and fake...).
BTW, is that pic you posted really your ride? Its a very nice pic for sure, so good that it looks like its out of a catalogue.......I'm sure I've seen that pic somewhere.......
Come on the rest of you guys, more pics pleeeze!

Your ride looks tight Whitey, good job 
! The blinking mirrors IMO though would be a nice touch. Michakaveli, taking the doors apart is a breeze. You have done it before when installing your system like you mentioned and so it would be that much easier for you. Thanks for the props on the Carlsson's Whitey. Have had another stupid delay on my bumper again but for all of this drama, I am going to get the paint and install for free now. Let's wait and see when my friend finishes with it and I will post some pics. once it is installed...

I just came from the shop about 15 minutes ago and the stupid thing (Carlsson bumper) is still in prep. to have the mold made for the copy. I gave him by the end of the week but let's just see what happens, or else !!!
