My new 2012 C-Class

Finaly some iphone pics of my new ride:

Rear, with Vaeth exhausts:



Trunk Spoiler from JB Speed:



Windows tinted, Rear passenger 35%, Front 55%

The good thing about the new audio20 is, it sync. your phone contacts automatic when its connected with BT.

Awesome. I always hated that popup screen. Much cleaner design with it integrated into the dash.

Congrats...best of luck with the new car.

From the looks of it...it appears the same exterior mods (grill, trunk spoiler, etc) from the '08s to '11s will fit the '12 C as well

'08 to '10 exterior + the '12 tail lights and interior = perfect

Still not a fan of the LED fogs and the new headlights

Another round of ICE
Congrats to the OP...the new interior is certainly very improved and best wishes to enjoy it for years to come. However, with no fog lamps and mandatory automatic transmission in the US, this is no longer a car for me.

I must say, I was on the fence about the new re-design as well. I got the opportunity to drive one and get up-close with one from generation benz. The new headlamps with the "c-like" LED drl that is incorporated into the headlamp looks awesome! The lower LED DRL were always take it or leave it with me, I personally like the fogs better. The taillights look orgasmic (fully LED, but with amber turn this time around).

The perfect c-class. 2012 headlights, tailights, and interior, 08-10 fog lamps. Done!

Thanks all

@AZN Optics : I had the manual pop up thing, i hated it from day 1, this is better and nicer.

@NJBNZ : The trunk is the same (bought the spoiler from JBspeed) and the grill is also the same...

The LED arent fog's, they are the DRL's . They dont call them fogs over here, because it's forbidden to drive with your fogs on at daytime...

And as far as i know, you can order the car with normal fogs, there's another MBWORLD member who have the fogs

https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...1-c-class.html

Also i wasnt sure about the headlights, but now i'm used to it....

@Samieee : Yes it's "old style" only if you order Xenon you will get projector headlights.... but i must say that it will give more light at night with this car, as with my prev. projector headlights (without xenon)

I putted Xenons in my prev. car and than the projector lamps are good, but with normal bulbs it was like a candles....

@Dark Kent dont walk out you have a nice car..... facelift will come to the US soon....

@jctevere : Dont have led's in the headlamps, may be only with Xenon?

The tails arent fully led, only the turn signal is led, the rest is with normal bulbs.

And here you have the option to keep the fogs... dont know what the US options will be....

Ok, i figure out more and more.....

Audio20: you can stream audio with your bluetooth phone, so the songs on my iphone can be played with the Audio20.

I you turn your A/C temperature higher/lower or you do anything with the A/C , the audio 20 display will display the A/C settings on the buttom.

You can turn off ESP in the menu, without going into the engineering menu.

Also installed my Powercube tuningbox, more power and torque

about 13hp and about 25 Ftlb

Plug and go, a 10 minutes job.

Engine runs smoother and is faster
