Seeking inspiration

[ypkx]

I'll be waiting for the MOT of this c180 before I start any work on the car, incase they tell me it would blow up on me in a few hundred miles.
I have a general idea of what I fancy having done in no specific order;

1) tint rear 5 windows dark smoke +
2) tint front 3 including windscreen 10% more
3) lowering springs roughly 40-80mm depending on wheels
4) finding a set of wheels; im likeing those 'slab' wheels you get with amg's or the bmw look with the multispokes.
5) adding a bit of a pur or grunt out of the back!

Forgive me, I never told you the car! its a C180 Classic saloon in Black!

Would anyone happen to have a Black Saloon? That could share a couple images for me to grab some sort of inspiration?

Thanks in advance!

It's a C180. Now is it a W202, W203 or W204. In other words, what year is it?

i think im too used to having a little purr rather than a rather silent backbox! like, normal car standard purrs are something im looking for! nothing over the top!

ban? What wheels would people recommend?! honestly!

Careful with the front tint, I was told that anything now is illegal.

The 'slab' wheels you refer to look great on almost any mercedes.
AMG Monoblocks (or a quality replica)

PS, no need to worry. I can help you spend your money!!

 

[ypkx]

^ THEY ARE EXACTLY what I am looking for!

Would you happen to know where would be easiest to find a set of those? or the replicas, what other brands make these replicas? and what sizes do these come in? As im looking for either 16 or 17's?

does anyone have any information on this? last i heard, 75% for the front free windows were standard LEGAL. and anything in the back is up to you. Mercs are standard tinted at 75% with blue tint, so I might not be going ahead with that.

What wheels are they? and i think i mustve asked you before about the height of the car, it is standard right?

I have these on my CLK, and I think they set it off nicely.
Often seen at a good price on e-bay - I think Howard got some for a song.
