C250 CDI Sport till my S rolls in...
Just ordered c250cdi...

Hi,

just ordered a c250cdi pretty basic spec:-


Sport (AMG kit etc)
Auto 5sp
775 Iridium Silver


Am just wondering if anyone else has had theirs mapped / tuning box'd and how they felt the car performed afterwards?

Also toying (and I do mean toying..) with gloss black vinyl over the roof as love the look of the pano roof but didnt want to pay for it as I dislike light from above in a car hence the blinds would be permanently shut.

Would this look silly or has anyone done it?

thanks

One MBWorld member had his white C300's roof painted matte black.
Looked really good. Here: https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...installed.html

Thanks for the link, I was thinking gloss rather than matt... here in the north of the UK the weather is too crappy to get away with matt.

But is gloss just wanna be pano?
