Back having a Benz again

So after having to sell my designo clk55 a few years ago I picked up this c300 as daily driver. Aka gas saver. Don't know much about it other then it has conflicting parts between a sport model and a luxury.

It's a sport from the grill and lower fascia. If it has a tan interior, sometimes those cars have sport gauges and luxury steering wheels. Not sure why.

I thought sports had the led bar lights in the lower fascia also and a spoiler. This has a beige and brown interior and wood inlays instead of aluminum.
I'm just going by what this guy said

It is a sport.

LED is only on 2011+. Spoiler is just an option. The interior color is also an option.

I had a 2011 C300 Sport with a tan interior. It had sport gauges, a luxury wheel, and wood.

Your car is a 2010?

The LED strip was only on 2011 Sport cars. The luxury cars kept the fogs for 2011.

Honestly, I prefer the fog lights over the LED bars because they're actually useful instead of decorational. You could upgrade the bulbs in them and get some decent lighting

No arguments here, although with the ILS I don't miss having fogs.

Everyone is right. For the prefacelifted model, the 2011 sport trim comes with the daytime running lights. I assume your is a 2010 since I looked at your side mirrors.

W204s year 2010 and 2011 got the "upgraded" facelift LED side mirrors.

2008-2009

I have the 2010 sport model and I went ahead & upgraded the fog lights to the slim LED lights & also did the HID lights to match them up.

That's how I guessed it was a 2010. If it was a 2009, it'd have the old mirrors. If it was a 2011, it'd have LED running lights. Has to be a 2010.
