What mod to do next?...Advice/Opinions Please?!?!

[sgtbob]

Hi all,

Hope this post is in the correct place. Well since getting my C230K and starting adding things to it, i can say ive become a "bitten by the bug" modder. Granted only small things, but after i put my AMG's on it really sets the car off and makes me want to continue with the mods! I want to keep it mostly OEM, and things i can remove when i come to sell it and return it to stock.

So what do you all think i should do next? There are some links below to pics of my car so far, and i have the following in mind:

Avantgarde Grill, Bood Lid Spoiler (Lip), New centre caps for alloys, tinting windows(? ), New Carbon fibre steering wheel, Carbon fibre gear knob, engine mods??

So any ideas would be greatly appreciated and also where i can get things and for how much? I would look to keep the car for another 2 years and then sell it and get a C32 AMG

Thanks,

Rob

debadging?

Colour code or change the door handles to crome toped . I think that 210 handles will fit .I done this mod to my father in laws 203 , I used 211 handles .

Stay OEM, and go for a very subtle boot lip spoiler.

Please don't tint the windows, tints make baby jesus cry.

The thing that REALLY hit me between the eyes on the photos is that there is no exhaust tailpipe showing.
Either that has been done on purpose, and its how you want it to be - but if not, then the addition of a nice, subtle chromed tailpipe ala AMG would look good. A double pair would look extra special, but thats not going to be cheap.

I have a Brilliant Sliver W202 the same as yours, I have done a couple of mods on mine that you could do.

-Avantgarde Grill
-E-Class door handles (W210)
-C43 Bodykit - if you lucky to find one that is!
-Chrome centre caps etc
-AMG tail pipes

Have a look HERE Scroll down to the bottom

My suggestion...

1) Chrome AMG back box (twin)

2) Those black 'extra' little arches that a C43 would have? given your tyres are right on the edge these probably help with spray also??

Thanks guys. Yes some good ideas. Id love a c36 AMG backbox, but arnt they like rocking horse cr*p? Thinking that the following might suffice for this years mods (in no particular order):

Boot lip spolier, Avantgarde grill, Mercedes Kickplates, w210 silver handles, and c36 AMG twin pipe back box.

What do you think?

Cheers again, Rob

You could always fit face lift 210 E class mirrors, check out my pics in post 22 of this thread.

Forget the spoiler and window tints - this is 2009 not 1989!!

 

[BlackC55]

How about a re-map or chip.

Bring it to the next NW gtg so we can see it, I'm sure you'll get plenty of suggestions there, especially from Shude and NW Merc!
