Why is the front bumper off? Are more mods planned - because the ones listed don't need it to be taken off.

Looks great, I can't see the original post now, are those covers, or a gloss black wrap on the side mirrors?

Just easier to paint and bake all parts together thats why i removed the bumper, the mirrors are painted not covers.

How did you remove the side mirror covers? I'm having a real hard time pulling out the mirror.

Not sure if they're calling it an AMG specific model in the U.K but there's an AMG package option for the C250's (even C180's) in most Countries, it incorporates body kit, suspension, wheels from the AMG parts bin, however there's no AMG badge put anywhere on it on Aust. vehicles anyway

Yes, the sport plus AMG options package is being discussed on other threads

I'm still very curious to find out if the performance/responsiveness additions including rev matched downshifts are software only specific or if they incorporate hardware revisions/additions ?? if it's software only then it may be possible to incorporate these on current new vehicles

I wouldn't mind a sound clip either if that's possible - I'm wanting to do an eventual dual or quad exhaust mod on mine and am very curious to hear what the 250 diesel sounds like with a modded exhaust, hopefully it's quiet as oilers don't put out the best of exhaust notes.

I'll flick this as a PM as well if that helps

Here you have a quad exhaust on a C 220 cdi Coupe, I suppose it would be basicly the same with the 250 cdi.

EXACTLY!! i don't see what the big deal is about putting an AMG Badge on the car, just because it isn't an official AMG it still has AMG Parts, i have the AMG sport kit, i wish i would have known about the sport + kit, but i still have the brakes, body styling, wheels, suspension, spoiler, and contrast stitching but its white. Most Mercedes have some sort of AMG part on them, unless you get the bog standard one, If you look at bmw's that have the M sport package the /M logo is plastered throughout the car.

The black mirrors & grille & sport badging are not included in the sport plus package, these are only included if AMG handling package is specified aswell. The AMG handling package can only be specified with the sport plus package and only on 250cgi & cdi models aswell.
