Mercedes C280 - how can I make it look nicer?

I have a 2000 Mercedes C280 Sport, Silver. This is the exact car below, although I have tinted the windows.


Now, my question is what can I do to make the car look nicer, and more updated?

I am thinking of obviously getting new rims - perhaps 18 inch - any recommendations for this car? I also may want to smoke the headlights and taillights.

I know there is an AMG model, c43, for this year. Any design hints I can take from there?

Brabus makes the best looking aftermarket wheels IMO. You can probably find some used set in good condition on craigslist or ebay.

You can also look into suspension and brake upgrades. Generally, I find MB suspension to be too soft.

Look at mbworld.org for ideas....

Brabus also makes a nice body kit for this model - any idea where I can find them for sale still?

I'd like those rims/wheels where you can see the brakes, i.e just like you can see with Porches. (It's often that red part, if you know what I am referring to)

Depends on your budget. First I'd get clear corners, 19" rims, coilovers, and maybe a WALD body kit.

Where is a good place to buy Brabus parts for the w202? ebay did not seem to have that much for it, so is there another retailer?
