What can I do??

[Ashley7719]

Having just bought a low mileage c180k I would like to get better performance and handling, have done wheels and spacers so far would like to hear from other members what can be done. Thanks in advance.

Welcome
With that M271 engine it’s probably better left alone really.
Handling can be improved greatly with decent tyres

As above really. The m271 is fundamentally a strong engine but with a major weakness in the timing sprockets and chain.
The normal tuning method for supercharged MBs is changing the supercharger pulleys and remapping.
Suspension can be "upgraded" with lowering springs and dampers (though personally I've always found lowering springs destroy the ride).
Spacers can ruin the handling of a car if used incorrectly.
