Mercedes E230 (W210) Need Ideas for facelift / modification

[stjames]

As most of you would know the W210 E230 (elegance)original version looks slightly boring without some work. I have a dessert silver (more commonly known as mettalic gold in msia) one. Intention is to improve the look slightly with minimal alteration, not for racing/sporting purpose. Still prefer the comfy ride. A few ideas in mind:

Wheels/rims - to 17" or 18" - AMGs I, II or III? Does the springs / absorbers need to be changed if plus sized to 17" or 18", prefer to keep original if possible. To keep comfy ride, thinking of 17" as opposed to 18".

Facelift back lamps - to smoked facelifted 240 cdi version.

Perhaps a window tint to match the colour.

Signals to facelifted version ie. on the side mirrors.

Any ideas/recomendations on interior ie. nicer looking steering wheel, digital buttons for a/c.

Front lamps - any ideas/suggestions?


Pls help with some reccomendations on the following:

Good workshops in KL
Some pics to look at
Good websites
Ideas!

Is there any hope??

I think that 17s or 18s should be alright without much of your suspenstion change. Anyway that's to my knowledge. Unless your car is too low and when you change the rims it might need to change the spring pads as well.

As for any interior mods, can't help you there. Am more into 124s and 201s. But great to know a fan of Mercs!
