Looks good, Congratulations!
You must be very proud.
My personal optinion is that the first thing done should be exterior.... Mag Wheels at least 17inch and then upgrade to facelifted C Class looks... like clear lens lights, Grille and Bumpers. Many of these parts can be found on ebay with a bit of searching and if you are handy you can do it yourself. The current grille would change the front look quite a bit with the clear lights also.

congrats and welcome to the forum!
i would def start off by changing the lights - either clear or retrofitted Bixenons. then rims and a body kitto up grade the look. there are a ton of ideas and good sponders on the forum to buy parts from for way less than the stealership. happy modding - i hope your wallet can handle it.

i think that the wheels give a car the most touch for the least money so that should be the first thing on your list - and the clear headlights.

I cant believe no one has mentioned to change the emblem to a flat hood emblem. And yeah the Bi-Xenons not only does it change the looks of the car significantly it is way brighter than the frosted ones. and get the C55 trunk spoiler. And drop it like it's HOT!!!
