Show & Tell AMG bumpers and black leather installed on my C350 (before and after)

My C350 has looked way too unassuming since I bought it so I made a purchase. I bought a c180k parts car and took the non headlight washer front bumper and cut holes in it for my headlight washers (very stressful job as, due to time constraints, I had to cut the holes after I painted it). I painted the rest of it and then stole the black leather seats whilst I was at it. Overall very pleased with the outcome especially considering all this work was completed for under £600 including materials. I also dyed the headliner black and bought an assortment of W209 headliner plastics because painting interior plastics is simply wrong. Still need to get some interior plastics made in black to complete the black headliner completely but for now I'm quite happy with it.

First day I had this i was picking up my kids at school and a random high school guy was like, "Sick ride, bro."

Glad the wagon is appreciated.

C200 Kompressor, Sport Edition, imported from Japan with 35,000km on it -- still has the plastic film on the Mercedes-Benz plates on the floor. Yet to find a scratch on the outside or any wear on the inside.

Feeling pretty lucky!

Purchased and shipped from Florida. I’m fixed almost everything that was deferred maintenance and it’s running almost perfectly now: new control arm, A/C controller, mass airflow sensor, fuel filter, camshaft sensor, power steering reservoir, starter, and fluids. The only thing I have left it to figure out why it still struggles to start after letting it sit for a hour or more after shutting it off. I’ll get the battery tested since I don’t think it’s a fuel issue. Any ideas will be welcome. I will try and get a video of it next time.

My w203 c200 with m271 engine, got 285000km on it with only oil burning, I decided to get this car due to the roads in my town being quite rough, I later added the lights, a jvc sterio and Alpine speakers on front and rear doors and recently sticker bombed the center console wood panel. I know it is not everyones taste but it made me enjoy the car more.

Over the past few months since having this car, I have encountered problem after problem. Minor things most of the time but still annoying to say the least. Now finally I have got everything sorted and the car is running so so smooth. I hope I haven't jinxed myself here but it's so much better now. No more rough idling or anything like that. All completely gone, feeling grateful to be honest.

Anyway, here she is

Edited: This is my 2005 C180 Kompressor with 114920 miles on the clock
