Debadge the chrome door molding and emblems. It's easy and won't cost you a dime

Front grille?

Springs or coils?

Front lip and rear diffuser?

Your possibilities are endless

Thanks for the quick reply!

I am looking into Different front grilles also, not sure what i want to do yet, all depending on the rims to be honest! whether they're chrome or black

Most likely going to lower with springs even though it's a c300 sport.

As for the Front lip and Rear Diffuser , i am looking to go AMG style of course!

Any Suggestions on what rims? preferably looking for any Mercedes Brand, Mandrus, Amg. Etc. Five Spoke, or more? any opinions would help !



PS: Thinking about keeping the MB Emblem in back and taking off the c300, also the chrome on doors might keep depending on whether chrome or black rims! Cant Decide!

If you're going with springs... I suggest H&R Super Sports

You have endless choices of wheels. It all depends on how much you are willing to stretch your budget. I strongly suggest to deal with one of the forum vendors here to get the best deal for your money
