New C250 sport plus owner.
Well...actually a lessee. 
Hi everyone!
New and super happy owner of a 2104 C250 with sports plus package. I just signed a 27 month lease last saturday, already put on about 250 miles and I have to say I'm loving the car. Ride is just perfect. I mean it is fun and firm enough that I don't get beat up riding around town and even with the low profile tires with lowered suspension there is no tire slap or bumpsteer over the expansion joints heck I already hit a pretty good size pot hole and suspension soaked it up nicely.
Anywho I am excited and looking forward to some fun driving days.
Here are some pix.

Thanks guys.
Akasigfreak it actually is steel gray and it almost looks black. When I downloaded the images from my camera I did a quick edit and it made the car look almost blue. So re edit and posted them again and it looks like the actual color.
Amgboy I used my Canon 6D with 70-200 lens, and did a little tweaking in the adobe lightroom.

Congrats and welcome to the C204 community
I hope your new pride and joy keeps you smiling for all of that lease period term you've signed up for.
I'm almost 2 years on with ownership of mine and still enjoy it just as much as day 1 !!!

Car looks even better after the edit.
I almost bought a W204 Sport PLUS Sedan in Steel Gray- The only thing that swayed me was the standard W204 C250 Brakes. The Sport PLUS Coupes have the larger Calipers and Rotors from the C350.

Upgrade C250 Sport Brakes?
Hi There, I am Steve. I just purchased a C250 Sport with Magno Grey paint... wild! I am also getting the rims changed to the black 16 spoke 19" AMG off the C63... but its going to show how SMALL the (especially rear) brakes are on the C250 Sport.
Can anyone tell me:
1. can I increase the size of the rotors and the calipers? (to say the same used on the c350)
2. any recommended brands of rotors and calipers (after market)?
Thanks!!

Yes you can update the rotors and callipers as suggested - but on that one I always wonder why sport plus optioned C250's don't already have the bigger brakes package
must be different from Country to Country markets, my C250 fully optioned and with the sports package has the same bigger brakes as used on the C350.I'd recommend using OEM, but if the expense is too much I can understand going aftermarket, you'll just have to research it thoroughly to make sure you get the proper hardware.

C250 Sport 2014 Coupe
Hi! Yes the front brakes are upgraded and maybe also the rears. But I want to get cross drilled rotors for the rear (same as what are on the front of the Sports model) so that it looks better... vain I know, but just being honest

That would require custom or aftermarket rotors for your rear.
MB OEM rear discs are not cross drilled on any model, if you do install cross drilled you may have to get the rear bias or brake distribution adjusted as the cross drilled rotors will bite and stop more and probably cause the rears to lock up unintentionally.
Still if that's what you want go for it, anything's possible
