2013 c250 sport
Hey, I have the same package on my 2013 C-Coupe.

I was wondering what window tint you purchased. I think it looks much better with tint than how it came.

Thanks!

Dealer installed tint as part of the purchase agreement. The front is 35%, the rear is 20%

This weekend, I installed MB carbon fiber trim to replace the aluminum components. Piano Black pieces for the ash tray cover and the shifter surround like the AMGs with the carbon fiber option. It really adds to the interior.

That carbon fibre trim looks unreal. You should be very pleased. So tempted to go there and get a carbon fibre front lip or some carbon fibre in the engine bay to match.

Have you looked into carbon fibre mirrors? I've had a little look but a bit unsure about which ones fit, how difficult etc.

On a side note Andrew stop distracting me with pictures of your extremely sexy rims! I keep wanting to change mine now as the gun metal finish looks way better than the standard silver.

I bought the roof spoiler through an online retailer. It comes primed, and must be painted . If you don't want to go OEM, you can go on ebay or other sources for painted, ready to mount spoilers.

Love the piano black trims, they suit nicely in that area

Were they OEM or aftermarket ??

Tint looks good too, I got my front windows done in 30% which is the legal limit here and actually blends in well with the OEM factory privacy tint, if mine didn't have the OEM privacy glass I would've also opted for 50% like andrew c coupe as I have that on another one of my cars and it's a perfect tinting shade IMHO

All Mercedes OEM parts. I used a C63 VIN when ordering the parts, and got the part numbers from the Startek Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC)

I like the wheels and tires that came on the Sport package. I figure that is what a good chunk of the $2300 dollar option went to. I will likely go to performance summer tires when these tires eventually wear out.

I prefer to spend my money on something which could move my car better first place.

Nice one, can't go wrong with high quality OEM on interior trim bits

I am currently installing parts for the folding mirrors, followed by the addition of parts required for the blind spot assist. I will post pictures as these mods are installed.

Great work, you'll love those features !!!

Here in Aust. they are part of the '22P' driver assistance option package which I have on my C Coupe, you can also fold the mirrors in manually whenever you want or need to stationary or on the fly - I do it when motor or push bikes go by a little to close for comfort when at a set of lights, prevents them making contact with the mirrors then just flick em back out again

Hey capt.,

That black grill...is the black a matte black like the honeycomb behind it, or is it a gloss black? I love the black grill but want it in matte black, and I don't at all like the idea of using plastidip on such a nice car...this is my first venture into actual luxury...my other car is a mustang. Lmao.

The black in the grill is a gloss finish. If you want a flat black, I would suggest a vinyl wrap in either matte black or perhaps carbon fiber finish

Sounds good. I'm thinking maybe having the dealership painting it matte black to match the honeycomb.

In my opinion, if you are going to have the grill reprinted, I would go through a quality auto paint shop. Most dealers sub out painting to MB recommend end shops anyway, and it will save you the cost of having the dealership to be the middle man
