Hello everyone!

A few weeks ago i totaled my w203 when some jerk made a U-turn in front of me. But will the downs come ups. And today I purchased at 2009 C300 4matic sport with 69k miles on it!



I already ordered an x pipe, HID's, LED all around. I'm gonna do 20% tints all around and debadge shortly. Beautiful car and I'm happy to have stayed with mercedes!

Great choice sticking with the benz. Im sorry for your old benz loss but what can you do. Enjoy the beauty.

Nice! Nice Benz! What kind of HIDs are you putting in. Just got an 08 C300 last week.

Congrats!

Is it still on the original transmission/transfer case?

Akhafeez

I don't know lol

I have HID's from my w203 that I took out. Probably gonna do a 5000k all around

Nice. How does it feel in comparison to the W203? Does it ride firmer? Is it more refined all around and how solid does it feel? Also, is the 7 speed smooth like the 5 speed is?

Akhafeez

MUCH better/ different than w203. Quicker, smoother handling. Lower. just an all around upgrade TBH

Akhafeez

Put the X pipe on, i do enjoy the sound. wish it was a bit louder though..

Is that your car in you sig? Where did you get those lights on your grill?

Akhafeez

I'm in the fire department so I got emergency lighting. I got it from a local vendor. But there are alot of sites that sell them

ickdeep

Oh okay, how did you wire it though? I've seen a few kits for lights like that but I just dont really know to wire and make it functional within the cabin.

Akhafeez

Well I wired them to a cigarette lighting for now. A cleaner install would be to the fuse box and then a switch to the interior, but thats down the line

ickdeep

What about the one in the grill. I really want to get those ones, just for fun and giggles haha

Haven't updated in a while:

My latest mod was with some vinyl wrap. It is my first time wrapping anything and I think it turned out pretty well!

Wrapping looks good! Haven't decided if I wanna wrap mine yet, or if I wanna go LED first then wrap.. decisions decisions.

I also never posted pictures of my exhaust work. I first did a resonator delete with an x pipe like many others. the sound wasn't enough for me so I went ahead and deleted the secondary cats/resonators that are located towards the front of the car and now it sounds amazing. No drone at all but when you push it... well you know.

very nice.
those wheels set it off much better.
you should do a sound bite.
would love to here it.

will it still pass an emissions test?

Akhafeez

I mean i just passed inspection

I will try doing a sound clip soon!

Akhafeez

I also vinyl wrapped the top part of the side mirrors and left a straight light for the turn signal you can sort of see it in the picture below!




Took this today!

OP what color vinyl wrap are you using (gloss or matte)? It seems to match pretty good with the color of the car.

Can you take a close photo of the side mirrors you wrapped?

Akhafeez

its a gloss reflective black looks awesome ill take pictures tomorrow!

Akhafeez

Nothing really has changed since i've been in med school but dipped my "winter" wheels
