2013 C300 Sport Black Darth V3.0
My new ride
Say hello to Darth 2. A 2011 C300 4matic. P1, Audio 20 (no MM available), I-pod, Heated seats and Burl trim. Made the last payment last month and the salesman I would talk to when ever I was there called me with a VERY good deal so we went for it. Spent all last weekend turning Darth back to stock (more or less).
Mods start this weekend with a 50/35 tint. Bullit grill, 3 pc Trunk Spoiler, Roof spoiler and eurotech diffuser are at the body shop being painted 040 black. No CF on this one been there done that. Have to give the black wheels a good cleaning before they are installed. Of course debadging and smoked side markers are on the list. Murdering will wait a few weeks till it is warmer out, I may have the vinyl wrap done by a pro not sure yet.

HAHAHAHA omg, what happened to your wife wanting an SUV? Anyways, I'm glad you didn't COMPLETELY part ways with your ride. Congrats on the new whip and I'm sure it'll look just as bad a$$ as the original.

It's going to be tough to beat your first C, but this one already has a head start with the new mirrors, LED DRLs, and black headlights! Can't wait to see pictures of the finished product!

2012 C250 Coupe
My sister has the exact same ride but with the beige interior. It looks much nicer on the 2011 with the new steering wheel on the sport models. She put the lux grille in which looks awesome IMO. (the only way to get the LED DRL is to get the sport package)

Deal was to good to pass up also I don't want to wait a year or two for a large selection of mod parts for the facelift body style. Also my Wife insists on 4 doors so no coupe for me.

2013 C300 Sport Black Darth V3.0
Why yes I did. But I am only using the ones listed in the first post. So I have three grills, a CF roof spoiler a CF trunk spoiler and cf mirror covers sitting in the garage. I snapped the headlamp trim taking them off. Front lip got smashed on a very high curb, my fault.

Congrats on the new ride. I just got the same car minus the 4matic. I LOVE the way the sport model looks. Now if I could just find a way to keep the DRL LED's as bright when the headlights are on. I'll be following your modding progress

Well that is so true... I was thinking of "upgrading" my "baby" C200 (2010) to C250 or C300 but prop wait till the 2012 model's out (and hope that they will lower the price of the current model)

My previous SA is trying to persuade me in trading in my '08 for a 2011

Ron figured that rather than retrofitting the original fog lights, mirrors, and headlights, you can just buy a new car.
BOSS.
Hope to see you around some meets this upcoming season.

'09 C300 4Matic Sport
I'm sure I missed this in a previous post...but why did you get rid of your other C and get basically the same car. Why not just keep the last one that you had already modded to your liking?
Best of luck with the new car

2013 C300 Sport Black Darth V3.0
We were originally looking at SUV's or other cars in the C size/class. I hated every SUV I looked at that was within an acceptable price range. So as far as I was concerned that led back to cars. The leaders were the VW CC and the A4, I didn't like the feel of the 3 series BMW. Well we had looked at the GLK but didn't drive it or talk to a salesman. I guees the salesman I always talk to had seen me there or maybe he just keeps a track of who has paid off their car I don't know but I got a call and an offer was made price with incentives and high trade-in value (much better than VW or Audi) made it a no brainer. I figure they need cars for the CPO program. So the final price was great and since I already enjoy the car we figured why not. Also my biggest regret on the original was the lack of 4matic.
