Saying Hello! First Mercedes/New Member/My Build Thread
Hey everyone! I signed up awhile ago on these forums to get and search information on the W204. Well I finally pulled the trigger last week and bought a 09 CPO C350 from my local dealership.
Its my first Mercedes ever coming from a Lexus environment. I wanted to show everyone what I have done so far. Im not new to car forums and Im currently a active member on Club Lexus under the same screen name. I love to mod cars so here is my build so far in once week of ownership! :eek: Heres where im coming from.. picture of my Lexus SC300 with a 2JZGTE motor swap (400hp) http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n...2Largecopy.jpg http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n...6Largecopy.jpg http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n...9Largecopy.jpg http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n...2Largecopy.jpg And.. Here is my new girl 09 Arctic White ^^ http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n...3303Medium.jpg I started modding her as soon as I picked her up! Got her Tinted: http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n...3302Medium.jpg Changed out the interior/exterior to LEDs. http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n...3200Medium.jpg http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n...3203Medium.jpg http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n...3424Medium.jpg Ordered Carbon Fiber Front Lip, Carbon Spoiler, Carbon Diffuser http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n...3304Medium.jpg http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n...3307Medium.jpg http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n...3308Medium.jpg More to come... I hope everyone is as friendly/helpful/amazing as my Lexus forum as been! Im very happy with the car so far. |
|
Welcome...! & congratulations! Looks good so far... but coil-overs, wheels, brakes, rotors and new rubber will help it further.
|
^ much more coming. I just need to figure out what rims I want =)
|
more pics far out, and more pics of your sidemarkers on at night from a distance too!
|
I like this front lip. I like how it tapers at the sides. Good work.
|
WELCOME!
|
Welcome!
What lip is that, I like it. |
Nice ride ...
I have two question ??? 1) What front lip is that ??? 2) Where did you get the corner lights ??? |
Welcome to MBWorld.
|
The front lip is from JL Motoring from this forum.
The side markers are from ebay LED ERROR FREE W204 side markers. Ill take pictiures at night of them. Thanks for the comments everyone, Im gettin my roof vinyl wrapped in gloss black tomorrow, and waiting on my HIDS to come in the mail. Still on the fence on what rims 18" or 19" and lowering I want. Ill post updated pictures as stuff gets installed. Does anyone know if I can add keyless entry and push start to this model? Its pretty much just a P1 with MM. =( |
sweet jesus you can take some pictures!!!:eek:
wow! and nice car too:yhave never seen a side marker like that.... jeez, what kind of camera and lenses are you shooting with?? |
looking good!
|
Welcome to MBworld
|
I was wondering if you can take a picture of the side of the front lip? I am trying to find something that is not thick on the sides by the tires and your looks promising.
I straight on view would be great. Thanks |
Welcome to MBW. Congrats on your new ride.

Pictures requested:
Front Lip from the side: http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n...0/DSC03441.jpg http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n...0/DSC03440.jpg I also got my roof vinyl'd in gloss black today =) http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n...0/DSC03438.jpg Blacking out my grill this week, also going black house the headlights. |
Getting busy, modding the new ride, sweet! I'd like to see the wheels you choose.
|
Update:
I did my LED Tail lights install today. http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n...0/DSC03446.jpg http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n...0/DSC03448.jpg http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n...0/DSC03449.jpg I been looking for RIMS all week... Im really disappointed in the selection with 5x112 and offsets of this car being 40-50. They are in my opinion very weak =(. Its hard to find rims. |
Update this week =D:
Installed my 55w 8000k HIDS. http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n...0/DSC03480.jpg Blacked out my grill: http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n...0/DSC03477.jpg Lamin-X fogs and headlights: http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n...0/DSC03476.jpg Also did some puddle lights that turn on only when the doors open: http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n...0/DSC03475.jpg More to come as parts roll in... |
Welcome to MBWorld! :y
I'm LOVING your Lexus! VERY tastefully modded! :y |
nice job! need more pics lol, Im waiting for spring weather to get my exterior going. as Im no where close to socal weather. I had bought the same ebay side markers as you, what did you use for eyebrow led 5000k or 8000k (if you bought them from (aznoptic)
car looks great though cant wait to see where its heading and more pics after. who are your HID's from |
No issues with the 55w hid kit? I'm debating upgrading my fiancee's 35w 6k kit to a 55w 4300k kit but weary of getting a bulb out light from w204's electrical fiasco of a build.

Sounds good but keep an eye on the kit as I have heard of 55w kits catching fire.
