Default Upgrading / Great ideas for SLK230

[size=4]Has anyone done anything that has really made a difference to upgrade their SLK230? New lights, car cover, iPod integration,...ect? I am looking for a project. Thanks.

I really should replace my shocks. Are you happy with the Koni's? I am leaving the suspension stock height and still running stock 16" rims.

Very happy. Needed a bit more rebound adjusted in the rear than front to aid turn in with my big rear tyres

Thanks for the input. I think I will take the HID project first. Look forward to seeing what you all have done to your cars.

If you want to still be able to see and make full use of the HID upgrade ensure the kits are 4300 or 5000k. Any higher is just for show and turn towards the blue end of spectrum. Young guys like 6000k and up
