New / Bay Area / midnight blue "purple" C320

Hey everyone ! My names Ashley and I'm from the Bay Area, I got My purple C320 2 years ago and I love it. I finally decided I want to do some work to my Mercy. It's a 2001. This is my first car, it was a late graduation / Christmas present from my dad. I would absolutely love if I could get some advice on what I should and shouldn't do and links to products also ! I have crappy photos of Mercy but ill probably do a photo shoot once I get a few things going on it. �� I also forgot to mention, my car is purple. I'm completely serious. When I got the car it was labeled as "midnight blue" but it only looks blue in very certain lighting / angles. It's a solid purple. Very beautiful and unique to be honest. I am the 4th owner.

Welcome to MBWorld Ashley. That's a very rare color you have there.

Let us know if we can help you out giving her a modern facelift with some whiter lighting. We have plug and play HID and LED solutions that isn't a very difficult DIY project if you want to try to get your hands dirty.

How bad is the dent? We have new bumpers here, but you'll most likely need to get them painted for your color code. You could also try searching for a used one on www.car-part.com and have it painted as well. Depending on your deductible, going through your insurance is another option. As for exterior mods, we have side skirt upgrades here, we have some rear bumper valances here, spoilers here and here. Most likely you will need to get these body modifications painted to match as well. If you need anything else feel free to search our catalog here and let me know if you can't find anything or have any questions.

It's not too bad but you can tell that it was a regular small car with a hitch on the back hit me. New / Bay Area / midnight blue "purple" C320-photo85.jpg

And thank you so much !! I will definitely check out those links when I get home. I probably will have to have the parts painted though, since I've never seen any other Mercedes in amethyst metallic.
