Thanks for all the comments, the car has been lowered on eibach pro lowering springs,30mm all round. Most are 40s but I did a few measurements and I think that 30mm is enough, as I don't want to compromise the ride. The stance looks good, the ride is good and not harsh at all, and no body role.
Next mod will be a new exhaust, as I hate the standard one as you cant see the tail pipes.

That is absolutely superb. Exactly the right amount of understatement.
Whate a refreshing change to see a car not lowered to the point that makes it practically unusable and to see it fitted with tyres that fit the wheels instead of some that are two inches too narrow for them!!
I have two of these, both were going to be sold soon but now I'm not so shure!

Well, its been a little time now but the car has undergone a slight change. The car now has a full body kit ,still very subtle but stands out very nicely.
Front bumper
rear bumper
side skirts
rear window spoiler, all professionaly sprayed and fitted.
Will get some new photos up if it stops raining.
But I think its going to be up for sale soon witch will be a real shame, love the car and is a faultless ride. Only problem is I am 6ft 3in tall and the mercedes is not the best for leg room, so tends to be a little cramped in the back.never gave it a thought when I got the car as you only look at the driving side of the car and don't think about the back seats ?

250 is looking good, the 200 is a nice car and bloody reliable, does get the looks but I am going to have to let it go, its just too small for me, engine size is fine, its the size of the inside, as I am a long legged sod and have my seat all the way back, so its just down to a lack of room in the back.
Body kit was off ebay, but not one of those cheap ones from Poland,
