Try the Brabus website or Lorinser website as well. Or even the Carllson website. BUT...
I agree with the guys above.....I think what they are trying to say is, the car is already really good and to do anything 'exotic' would ruin the car.
There is nothing better than modifying a car tastefully and smart...not rash.

With all due respect, I don't know why ppl think hondas are "rice" ... C-class mercedes is not that much better, IMO.

To BA, you might just wanna try AMG sport body kits, I think they look best (and decent). If you have extra, try to change the headlights (to xenon ones).

you dont see benz's "HOOKED UP" because none one disrespects their benz. IF you have a benz u dotn need to rice it up, its already better then any shit on the road. please grow up and smell the uncle benz rice thats cooking in ur dads garage.

i just turned 18 and never in my life i wanted to put a stupid body kit on a car, to me thats disrespect to a car, even those ugly shitty civics. i owned a c240 2002 classic and now i own a c280 07, i have been happy with both.

once again, there is no need to Hook up a benz, it looks great the way it is. Please have respect for your self and the car and save the laughs of the peopel who going to see your future ugly car.

THank you! :)

Derogatory way of referring to any Japanese car that does not conform to the norms of tuning.. read (Excessive body kits, exhuasts, paint, etc.) This term is now used to generalize any car that has aftermarket parts that do "fit" the image the car is supposed to portray.


I say, do what makes you happy. There are not as many resources for Mercedes parts as there are form American, Asian or even BMW vehicles. Most of the stuff you can find for the MB is in good taste, check out some of the vendors and go from there.

re:

To each their own.
I think there's a HUGE difference b/t "ricing" a car out and "hookin" it up.
basically ricing refers to frontin'....or over-doing.
basically..take a car that's stock. slap on a kit...do nothing else..and front like it'll spank any car in the 1/4.

hooking up to me...refers to respecting the vehicle..and accentuating the beauty.
i consider throwing on bembo rotors and new rims as hookin the car up. does that disrespect the ride? NO.
Just b/c a kid wants to put a body kit on a car, doesn't mean he's going to rice it out.
I put a Brabus Exhaust, new grill, and Lorinser joint on mine. And at the dealership...or when i'm around other benz owners..
even Stefan B...and if any of you are fans of really tuning a benz..would know he's the 1st to ever fully tune a M class...featured in basically every magazine since the M class made its debut.
and all we talk about is the beauty of the car...and how to make it more visually appealing..while gaining performance....
that's hooking it up..
not disrespecting...
but like how I started this post

To each his/her own.

if he were to do the following to the car it would be ok by me, or it wouldnt be rice:
lorinser bodykit (or some other well respected mercedes tuning kit)
lower the car
put some nice wheels on it (again, nothing retarted like you wond see on hondas or anything from fast and furious )
bigger brakes and rotors
put an exhaust on it
possibly tint if owner likes that kind of a thing
possibly some accent pieces in the cabin (nav if not ther already, or some custom leather work, but MB seats are so nice as is so probably not that)
xenons if not already there
grille (either black one or the one with a star on it) and flat emblem on the hood


but please dont do any of the following:
comando double deck wing
any body kit that looks like it belongs on a eclipse of integra witha ll the holes and shicken mesh and other non appealing grooves and indents
5 subs and no trunk space or equivelant
chrome 16s from pepboys or somethign along those lines
no rice can/fartcan please
no chrome headlight and tailight surrounds
no useless stickers and glow kits under the car

for gods sake its a beautiful car to start with, so it only needs a few little tweeks to look amazing, so by letting some asian tuning ebay company redesign a mercedes is unheard of if you ask me

but good luck with whatever you do, and post pics when youre done so we can see what you did

again, were not trying to bash on you, but just trying to point you in the right direction :)
