My w203, it's a C220 CDI (2002) , from Romania and i modified some things but i want more.
Firstly, i need some opinions about the headlights because i want some clear headlights but i don't know what to choose. What do you think? The black ones or the silver ones ? (Headlights) I also i have the option with angel eyes or without, what do you think?

The things i modified:
- S-Class Tail lights + Black tinted
- 17" MAK Vertigo Rims (i would go with 18', but the roads in Romania aren't so good )
- Xenon 6000K
- Black Tinted Windows (Front + Rear)
- New exhaust (designed for w203 specially)
- JBL Subwoofer 250W RMS + Ampli (Enough for me)
- Aftermarket Grill
- Lowered 2 -3 Centimeters
- Black Tinted Mirror Blinkers

Next modifications:
- Clear headlights
- Clear fog lights + xenon 6000K
- Cross-Drilled Rotors
- Avantgarde doorhandlers
- ChipTuning
- Sport filters
- 2DIN Dvd Player (probably pioneer with GPS...)
- Black Callipers

I want to keep the elegance of this car and i don't want to modify it very hard (like body kits or anything else)

PS: Sorry for bad english and please tell me what should i buy for headlights. If u need some ebay links, please tell me to show you the headlights.

lol thanks, i tried my best :P

omg its nate

Welcome!

Without angel eyes.

dj_rzn

Thanks! I was thinking that it would look strange with angel eyes... It says something like "I like BMW but I have Mercedes" (and it's not true) , but i thought that i am just me thinking like that.
So now the big question, black or silver headlights? I was thinking to go with the black ones because i have almost everything tinted black (tail lights, mirror blinkers, windows.. and if i take the black ones, i will buy also black fog lights and it would look pretty)
Here is the link from them: http://cgi.ebay.de/MERCEDES-C-KLASSE...%3A1|294%3A200

dj rzn,

it will looks better if u replace your ebay grill with your stock grill (paint it to black or wrap with cf) but thats just me.

Andy

dj_rzn

For sure! But i forgot to mention that i will paint my grill black and leave just the mercedes star (emblem) with chrome, bcause i don't like very much chrome and i want to keep the car clean, if it won't look nice, i will change it with the normal grill painted black.

chkoo

do u know whats the usual rate for blacking out a grille? or are u doing diy lol

M-bENZ

That is the problem .

Andy

dj_rzn

i don't know, but i will go to a specialized place for paintings.

@Andy, i will see how it looks with black and the emblem chromed, if i don't like it, i will change it with the normal grill painted black

dj_rzn

hmm... I'll think I will stick with matching body color... and sedan headlights is not the same as the coupe... even so I already have bix

chkoo

aiks are these the same kind?

dj_rzn

No it's not the same kind. I think those are not using H7 Bulbs, but those i bought, uses! Even so , the looking is better with the other ones and u can see the quality differences even in the photos

Welcome. Nice car.

dont get those fake projectors... buy my clear OEM headlights and run some HIDs on them.. now thats hot.


here is JDs car as an example.

chkoo

ur HID look awesome!!
what rims are those? looks like that stock TL ones lol

omg its nate

Thread hijack kind of.

So on my 06 I have the clear headlights.

Can I just get this and be set?
(info from Mr. benzito )


order an H7 HID kit - and ur set! will run u in less than 130 - 10x better than that ebay crap

u will also need a Error Code Eliminator http://www.ddmtuning.com/index.php?p...=130&parent=94

Or do I also have to buy the "projector headlights" and put the hids in them?

benzito911

no dont buy the projectors. DDM hid and original clear xenon housing is the best combo

I had that setup for almost 4 years I loved it... then I was going to buy the Depo projectors from ebay but saw too many ppl complaining on the light output and decided to keep my current setup and save for the OEM Bi-xenon projectors.





this is a really good kit and at a good price.

dj_rzn

.. Do you think that some clear silver fog lights will look so good with the black head lights? And i would like some links where can i buy them (the fog lights) ... i also like those amg style with bix looking.
Thanks a lot guys
PS: I already won the auction for w203 head lights with 165 euro + shipping from Germany

dj_rzn

Well there will be some changes, the headlights arrived but i changed my mind about the front bumper. I will change the bumper with a C55 front bumper (includes foglights) and then i will buy a xenon kit for the foglights. Also i will buy some different rotors like those right here: http://cgi.ebay.de/ATE-2-Bremsscheib...d=p3286.c0.m14

I think the rotors will look awesome and elegant what do you think? Should i go instead with the cross drilled ones?

I'm sure you can sand it down and spray it matt black

dskompress24

i did my stock grille black, using the 5 step painting program i just made up:
1. wash thoroughly
2. wet sand it (lightly)
3. primer coat (3 even coats)
4. i used Krylon Black Gloss Spray Paint (6 coats)
5. Then i used Krylon Clear Gloss Spray Paint (3 coats)

make sure you wait 5 minutes before spraying each coat
here's a link to see what mine looks like
