C300 Sport
Project: Heidi

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to introduce myself to the forum. I recently picked up a white 2010 C300 2wd, that's right, RWD!

Her name is "Heidi", as in Heidi Klum. (She's white, She's German and she has Black inside her)








It's going to be a VERY slow project, but it will eventually be finished.

Here are just a few things that 've done

Blacked out "C300" and "Star" in trunk:


Blacked out front grill with chrome accents:




I'm trying to figure out whether i want to go with black tint or the AMG blue tint. With the auto tinting mirror, the black tint may severely affect my vision during night time driving. Thoughts?

I'm also trying to figure out rims. i love the C63 wheels, but i find that "everyone" has them. I'd like to be a little different. I really want the C63 Black multi-spoke wheels but it'll take way too long to clean. the old school AMG Monoblock II wheels would be ideal, but from what i understand, they are a pain to make them fit. (any suggestions?)




Anyway more mod's will be coming. (probably slowly since i have no $$$)

Love your analogy. I do not find it hard at all with tint on my windows. I currently have 20% on my windows and have no issues. As for the rims you have to go with what your taste is. I'm more of a 5 star rim fan so I would shy towards the C63's

my wife bananas! :D
I like it so far and I find your analogy hilarious

tbh, I am not feeling the blue badging in the back. Maybe with some CF stuff to balance it out, the badging will blend in more.

CF diffuser
CF trunk spoiler etc

btw get yourself clear or black side markers, its a cheap mod and it'll make your car look alot better

The "C300" and the "star" is flat black

AMGCLS68... nice car! I have a 2008 C300 in RWD also! Your eye lid lights look much brighter than mine. Have the stock bulbs been replaced with something else? Fogs look really bright too. I've been thinking about putting the PIAA amber bulbs in mine. Have PIAA ultra white in my low beams but I was hoping for a little more bluish tint so I may swap those out.

I"ve got white LED's in there. Bought them locally, pretty much the same as the CANBUS ones offered this forum.

Love the thought you put into the name!
For upgrades: Carbon front lip always looks good.
Quad exhaust as well.

Spoiler looks great. I have an Obsidian Black AMG spoiler sitting in my garage and need to have it painted. The AMG shape is perfect.
You also inspired me to order the Black badge. I'm an eBay freak and can't believe I hadn't seen that. I guess its because it doesn't have W204 in the title.
Thanks.

Hi everyone,

it's taken a long time to do the next mod. I FINALLY got around to wrapping the front chin lip.

What do you think?











Here's a pic that i took with my iPhone5. Completely UNTOUCHED! straight from my phone to here! NO PHOTOSHOPPING!!!
