W211 ''Stance'' ore ''Slammed''?

Hi guys

i was not shure how to start this post. I have owned over 150 cars over the years but never a Mercedes. Time to change that!

I always had this low mean looking Merc in mind, blacked out and nice rims. But i know nothing about these cars 😀

Wold it be possible to buy a air lift kit of the shelves that fits bolt on a 220cdi? What other methods for lowering, without loosing all the comfort is common?

how wide and big rims can i fit on the 220cdi? Wold a 20''x12 work? If not is there any nice widening kits for these cars?

I like clean look but is there any styling kits for the w211 that stands out if you want to lower it? Makes it look wider and lower to the ground?

i know im a newb when it comes to Mercedes ☺. Not when it comes to cars. Im 42yrs old but still young at heart i guess 😀

Is there another chassy within Mercedes cars that is better fit for my ''vision''? Love this style

not an expert on this but as far as i know, lowering will cost u on comfort unless you go high $$ on air suspension

and 20x12 wont fit, unless an AMG, considering that you want it to be lowered/slammed. I'm thinking abt 20x10.5 for which i most likely will have to roll the fenders but i might go 20x11, CL wheels, for that definitely going to have to roll fenders and possible rub if more than 1 person sits in back seats.

Unless you go widebody, which i would advice against on w211 unless it was an AMG, that be a little different story but still i say no. It would just look a little weird.

i think W204, C 63amg would look better with widebody, slammed and deep lip wheels.

You can do it it will fit.

You need a very reputable body shop that does custom work.

I assume you live across the pond , and any parts you may need to slam her would be expensive, but i say DO IT! I'd have to agree with going to a good body shop.
