I'm sure you can't wait to see it. I remember when it was down to the 2 week period for my car to be delivered and when it came to the day that it arrived, I was sick with the flu. Had to send my father to close the deal for me (good thing I told him the max offer - he actually negotiated less than the max offer). It wasn't even ready to be picked up, so I had to go back the next day. Didn't even know I had a 2004.5 until I started posting on these message boards...LOL.
At first, I was hesitant and was gonna back out. Now...well, the rest is history. I just love my freakin' car.

I'm sure, once the w204 is released, and a new forum is opened up (I'm assuming we'll do that), you'll be hopping back and forth from that forum (for available "power" mods) to over here (for everything else).
e1000 is definitely correct. There is a lot of information that has been poured into the w203 forum, so by all means try the search and if you cannot find something, you can always pm me.

The one thing I definitely feel bad for is that there hasn't been enough concrete information for power upgrades on your cars (i.e. 230, 280, 350), just cuz the engines are so new. At least for aesthetic things (body parts, suspension, etc...), you guys can pretty much use what is already available for the 230KSS/240/320's. So, that's definitely a good thing.

Wow, so they already made headers for all the new v6 engines? That was quick. Well, it's good that you can all take care of suspension upgrades/aerodynamics and such, to give manufacturers time to develop more power parts.
It'll be a fun process to see what they can do with the new V6 engines.

I've been wanting to drive one of these since they were first announced. But dealers where I live never, ever stock six-speed C-Class, and even automatic 350s are rarely if ever on the lots.
Congrats. You're certain to enjoy it.
