If that's your car, please tell me what you did to achieve that look. I posted in another thread on wanting to get that same look like the clk550 coupes.

Did you have to get a new diffuser or did you modify the current one? I tried to fit my friend's clk 550 muffler tips in our oval cut-out however, they wouldn't fit. Please let me know what you did or was that photochopped? Looks really good either way!!

Thank you! Sadly though it is photoshopped, but I had the same idea that the CLK550 "end" would look the best. Need someone to mold a rear diffuser wide enough for those tips and I will do the rest

argghhh, I kind of figured it was photoshopped. Most of the tuners are making the c63 diffuser, they look good however I don't want to look like a c63 poser. I am asking around to see if a tuner can make a wider oval cut-out diffuser to work for the c250. I mean we are turbo'ed anyway and we really only need one exhaust outlet. CLK550 oval tips would look mean on the back of the c250.

Agreed! I think it looks mean with the single side plus it I think it suits this body style really well

Personally, I like it better than the stock c250 look. But if you ask me, with the amount of trouble you would go through to get that, you might as well just get quad tips...

I was also thinking of going with the dual tips, since my brother as a 1 series coupe and is going for the dual tips look of the 135i I tought how it would look on the C Class:



I quite enjoyed the result, what do you think?

Another try.

Brabus style rear spoiler and MercZ style exhaust WITH OUT modifying the rear diffuser.

I tried setting it up with 80mm tips and they look too small and BARELY fit into the stock diffuser. Someone needs to make a wider one

Yeah, my brother used 2 80mm round tips on his bimmer and they did look to be too big for the C Class diffuser.
About the size I think it is pretty spot on.
Do you have pics of the setup?

Sadly I didn't take any pics. But I am ordering up some titanium tips to experiment with. I'm also seriously considering cutting the stock diffuser; and then covering up the cut with a custom plastic mold to make it appear as stock as possible. Then cut the stock tip off and weld the larger 2 titanium ones in place.

Curious to see the outcome of this project. Let me know if you decide to go through with it or not.
