2008 W204 C300 Sport
New to forum

Have owned my C300 for over a year, came across the forum recently. As of now it is all stock, I am really hesitant to modify anything as I worry about the quality of aftermarket parts and accessories (hopefully I can learn more from W204 owners who have modded their cars). Anything I do to it will definitely be understated and tasteful, its beautiful as is. Love the car and Mercedes Benz in general, this is my first and I'm sold for life. I know these cars are everywhere in bigger cities but don't see a whole lot around NM. I have pics, what is the best way to attach/ post?

Cheers!

welcome to mbworld

for pics, you're better off hosting pics on photobucket, flickr, tinyurl etc and just posting the link here around the [img] BBC tag

I like the color too.

Welcome to the forum.

I tend to agree with you about the mods. I think keeping it clean and shiney makes for a good presentation.

Welcome aboard! I think after a short time on here you will get the urge to do a few of the quick, easy, sedate mods like clear side markers, flush door pins, etc. From there on, it's anybody's guess...

Thanks to all for the welcomes, I agree with the consensus I'm seeing on the forum that the orange side markers have to go. Given the color of the car, I would like to get smoked side lens covers as well as maybe AMG style dark tail lights and headlight surrounds. I also like the look of the AMG-style black grille, but don't worry I don't plan to turn the 300 into a poser 63, just like some of the accessories. Where is the best place to get these (and other) parts? Some of the stuff on e-bay looks a little chintzy, I'm really concerned more about quality than price.
