Mr Mod needs ideas!

[R2D2]

So far I have done the following mods on my last two Mercs:

5 sets of wheels
2 exhausts
1 interior re trim to carbon
2 ECU tunes
3 air filter mods
HiFi mods, head units, aux in.
2 lots of Smart nav
2 lots of phone mods 1 bluetooth
1 lot of folding mirrors
1 lot of dipping mirrors
2 steering wheels
I reprogrammed the cluster
active turning lights
different bulbs
2 lots of spring/damper/spring pad mods
100s of mods like door pins, blinds, mats, door sills, exhaust trims, mud flaps
and so on.

I'm out of ideas, all modded out

So what's next??

 

[GRAV888]

Buy an AMG

 

[KillerHERTZ]

AMG bodykit

 

[R2D2]

Buy an AMG

I have thought about that. I not looking to change just yet but I've driven two C55s and love them. Maybe next change, who knows!

 

[R2D2]

AMG bodykit

I had thought about that as well. I'm not sure the sides and back will make much odds and some of my family dont like the mesh used in the AMG w203 front bumper. Never say never but not just at the moment. Thanks for the idea though

must be about new car time

You need the put your foot down and do as you wish with your car mod! Be careful not to go for the sleeping in the spare room mod though!

I think the next car has to be something other than a base spec engine and I see no better way to make up for two C180s than an AMG!

 

[fuzzer]

comand and before you say it and youve got smart nav ..

ITS NOT OEM Neither is that bluetooth parrot kit.

So out with the non standard and in with the OEM

 

[Alfie]

Privacy glass, leather, comand, CD changer, heated seats, Parktronic, Fire extinguisher, TV..................

BTW there are some very good deals to be had on C55's at the moment. The C63 (514bhp) is due in September so there will be a few more dribbling onto the used market very soon.

MaybeI will next time. The trouble is I always let head rule heart at spending money time!

The trouble is the I love the functionality of Smart Nav and parrot both work perfectly and easily. I'd reinstall smartnav even if I had comand. Comand as a dvd player for the kids?

Tints- maybe but I worry about the van look because I do the front windows anymore. Have you done yours Alfie?

Leather- maybe if I was buying again but I actually like the leather twin interior in the avantgarde it looks OK and is very practical.

Comand- see previous reply.

CD Changer- whats a CD?

Heated seats- Hadn't thought of that!

Parktronic- Yes certainly at least rear parltronic. Do you do that Alfie?

Fire extinguisher. The one out of my last C Class is now in my boot.

TV - see comand post.

C55- I know I keeping watching the prices!

Hi Greg you have really a great car, you've done really a lot of modification I don't have any further idea (have you considered a electric rear blind? ), personally I'd like to have an electric sunroof, have you ever consider it?

Hi

Marco

PS: at least you can always change car painting colour

Have done tints to my business partners black W203 but not my vehicles (yet). Parktronic can be done by JayManek very competitively.

Interestingly my business partners W203 estate has just about every extra now except sunroof which we wont be retro fitting and linguatronic which we might!

 

[R2D2]

Have you got any photos of your partners car. It sounds interesting.

I'll dig some out later.

Its a Diamond Black 2005 220cdi W203 estate with full sports pack, Xenons, Comand, Ipod, Parktronic, Climate, Leather, Privacy, huge wheels with low profile tyres, auto folding mirrors, phone pre-wire, tyre pressure loss......

At first we thought it would look a bit funerial with privacy glass but it actually looks rather good.

C55 Lip spoiler:

2005+ Lighting upgrades:

Loads more on the site aswell.

 

[R2D2]

Cheers. I've already got facelift clear lighting so the only lighting upgrade would be bi xenons I supose. That boot lip spoiler is a good idea. I have a price up and ponder on that one. Thanks.

Chrome folding wing mirrors? Are these available - would look good if the car was black - not so good on silver - IMHO
