Mercedes C200 cdi W204
First Benz!

Hi all,I'm Stephan and I live in Belgium.
I just got my first benz, a W204, C200 cdi avantgarde, black with black half-leather interior.
I had it chipped after a week, and I'm thrilled with the results! I'm glad it's still fluent to drive, but when you step on it, it goes pretty well (concidering what engine it has :-p ). I'm still planning on adding a straight downpipe and cat removal. But for the rest it stays as it stands (ok, fine.. Maybe a decent set of rims :-p )
I'm no expert on cars (to say the least), so that's why I'm here.. To get to know my car a bit better.









I'll add some decent pictures when I get a chance. These, I shot when I just received the car.
Anyways, hello to you all ;-)

Thx AZN Optics!

Now I also know what the "Optics" in your name stands for! (Since I'm an Optometrist, "optics" usually rings a bell :p )

But yeah, I'm interested! Do you have a link to about information concerning the LED lighting? Because, I feel this is not really the place to discuss such things
I presume you ship your products to Belgium?

Grtz

Nice car

I had a 2008 c300 a little bit ago and would recommend azn optics for their led bulbs. They make the car stand out especially at night. Good luck and enjoy modding

Thx everyone!

Wow, prznskills.. nice
I'm not going for the amg package with a c200, but it sure looks great. I also love the little spoiler/lip (also the one on the back window).
Is it lowered? Spacers? Cuz the weels fit perfectly..

AZNOptics, I'll let you know when I'm ready to order, cuz I'm definitely interested! I'm having a custom exhaust done first though (cat removal and straight downpipe).
So it'll probably be next month :p

No problem, just let us know. And post updates on your exhaust mods. I'm sure many will be interested
