Folding side mirrors!!...
Oh and in the interior, if you didn't order it differently from factory as i did... they should come with maple wood in the trims, instead of the gray trim..

Sorry but a friend pointed this old thread out to me and I could not resist. This whole thread is a joke in so many ways. First of all, you can change your badge to whatever you want, it is your car and there is no law against it. In addition to all this talk about a c300 vs. a c350. Most C300’s are not base, and therefore have the P1 pack, an almost exact appearance of a c350 minus the spoiler. The engine even looks identical under the hood. As far as the 40hp....give me a break, that is not a huge difference in power. You are not "smoking" c300's. You will be a little more brisk, but that is about it. In addition the brakes being larger, by a very slight amount, even a car enthusiast would not notice. Do you really think a c350 driver or C63 driver who is an enthusiast, is really going to see a c350 and automatically be like, oh I bet it is fake!! lol....that is absurd. In addition if that c300 has amg wheels and a spoiler you would have no freaking clue. So the point is if a c300 driver wants to entertain himself with a c350 badge go for it, just don't do c63 because the exhaust will give you away and lack of thrust for that matter

A c300 is NOT a c350 so don't label it as one, its just that simple. Be happy with what you have and don't be a poser.

I think you are posing, you don't really have a c350. Please post your VIN or a copy of your title showing you truly have a c350.

ps. rebadging is like the girl who tells everyone that she's a D when shes actually a C; while debadging is like a girl who never said anything about her size. The first case = lying, but the latter has nth to do with lies or any sort of deception.
I'm sorry, i dont mean anything offensive or personal, but I'm just not a fan of posers

Lol this thread ... Seriously just 40hp , the c350 is full second quicker to 60 because of that 40hp which is at least a full car length . You can use any badge you want but it's still lame trying to pass your car off as something it is not .

I thought the 300 has 228 HP? Which is 78 fewer, not 40? Though 40 would still be definitely noticeable in cars as heavy as the C class, to say nothing of the torque difference.

lol...this thread again... Just let it die. This is like the 5th in a series of badging debates that's already been beat to death with all sides already making their point.

No need to rebadge. Be happy with what you have, a model in the company's history.
Plus, with the 250 now, some people will see some superiority of the number "300."
After all, I do still prefer the 3.0 myself.

I debadged, not because of any identity issues. I just like less chrome and a more clean and balanced rear view, without a one-sided nameplate.
But, to anyone above who claimed they "could care less" about this issue, I believe them. Someone who cared so little that they could not care less would not post a response!
