Get some rims and lowered. ;) It make's a big difference when you lowered it.

-what jre said-
also an undated Avantgarde/s600 Grille makes a big difference!
and in my oppinion is the best simple upgrade you can do to our cars
you can track one of these down on ebay which are of a reasonable quality and price, and a nice simple home install,
heres a pic i just stole from the members gallery area to show you the grill:

thankyou sensoryx :D

Nice car! Love the colour...

Immediately put a set of 17'' or 18'' rims on there (brabus or AMG), and fit a set of H&R lowering springs.

You won't believe the difference it makes on a red car... take a look at this:

IMO, this is the hottest 202 i've ever seen...

This is what you want yours to look like... (i know..it has 19's, but 18's will do)

To start I was thinking of this grille :

, replacing the bonnet badge with this:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/AMG-Badge-Mercedes-E200-E280-SLK-200SL-500SL-CLK-C180_W0QQitemZ290179219011QQihZ019QQcategoryZ72211 QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

and square C36 look exhaust tips.


And I dont like the silver cd player that came with it.

i agree with jr3 those grills look ghetto on a 202 . i think its because the emblem is too big, go with the s600 style and you'll be happier . h&r springs are the choice for this car and the square tips are a good idea, as far as the emblem good choice again i have the same one on my c230 k sport.

That trunk looks mighty empty. May I suggest some 10"or 12'' subs in there.

[Section 8]

no clk grilles please

id rather a george forman grille than that they really dont look right on 202's

Beautiful car mate! If that was mine, this would be my list of mods in no real order just whatever :) :

Lowering kit! w202s need to be low in my oppinion.

Wheels - Im in New Zealand and ive seen a few red c-classes on chrome mags. Im not a big fan of chrome wheels but ive gotta say, they look wicked!

Sounds system - One alpine type r sub is all you need with an amp and head unit to match. If you have the bose option, I think you will find that your stereo is very clear and powerful.

And one last thing, you should tint your windows, It will add to the sporty look and will look great on a red c-class.

Best of luck mate, modding c-classes is great fun. Im on my third one now!

[C280/////AMG]

The badge is a good idea, but stay away from those types of grills...

It comes across as though you want a CLK or an SL, but can't afford one...

The only grill that works here is the Avantgarde grill

[c280nz]

please do not put one of those grills with the star in the middle on your car!
they dont suit our cars!
thats in my oppinion anyway

[Devero]

tint, wheels, flat emblem, grille, HID's....... and maybe an intake.

BTW, what are you lowered on?
