From Worldcarfans...

German tuner Väth has unveiled a tuning and styling package called V18K for the Mercedes-Benz C200. It's not an overboard package as one might find from other tuners but rather something mild yet spicy. Väth increased the C200's standard 184hp (135kW) to 215hp (158kW). Because of that top speed goes up to 149mph (240km/h).

Styling changes are in black 18-inch wheels, a black radiator grille, a new front apron, a rear spoiler and a stainless steel exhaust system. The suspension has been tweaked to ride 45mm lower up front and 35mm lower at the rear.

Pricing starts from €1,773 just to tune the engine while styling prices depend on which pieces each customer desires.

That type of styling on a Mercedes looks kind of

Väth increased the C200's standard 184hp (135kW) to 215hp (158kW). Because of that top speed goes up to 149mph (240km/h).
That's approx. TSX performance. :thumbsdow

Eh, it could use some real brakes, up front at least. Otherwise it's kind of cool looking.

Agree, granted its not the fastest car in the world it would look better with caliper covers rather than just painting them. Or you could have just left them alone
