My new C250 Sport with Mods

2012 C250 Sport
19" TSW Brooklands 19x8 +45, 19x9.5 +53
Hankook Ventus V12 235/35, 275/30
Shaved lettering and door molding
3M Clear Bra
HID/LED Bulbs
A Type spoiler
AMG Diffuser with real AMG tips(left on cat, secondary cat, resonator and deleted muffler) Real nice mellow sound. Does'nt sound rice.
Huper Optic tint 35% then a layer of 5% regular limo on top
New front grill with mesh that matches lower stock grills. I also had the entire grill (besides the chrome) painted in matte black to match the lower factory grills.

I have black laurel wreath center caps for my wheels coming and am having the laurel wreath emblem on the hood painted to match centercaps but look factory as well. (change blue to black) Not that ebay junk emblems with crooked letters or different font.

Was going for a clean modified factory look but not sweating our AMG brothers... Only reason I did the tips is I wanted to use any factory parts I could possibly use..

Looks GREAT! Be careful with your new Black hood ornament and centercaps. After about a year- the clearcoat on mine started to peel. Just spent almost 2 hrs trying to remove the clear on the center section without damaging the black.
The TSWs look amazing.

Thanks. With the 2000 changes benz made in the 2012 one being the headlights for a more aggressive look I feel they achieved that. However saying that I feel all C 08 and on look good and the last thing I would want to do is offend someone. I was raised and raise my kids if u don't have something polite to say then don't. Thanks for the input and ur ride looks good.

Thanks. Loving them. I am as **** as it gets so the look at offset was a big deal to me. Wanted them to fit stock. Not a stitch more. And that's what I got with them. I had so many dealers telling me +45 on the front and rear look great and do it all the time. I basically searched every thread on here in regards to offsets, then found out what the stock offsets are, used calculators etc. took about 6 weeks lol but worked out. TSW website they have a visualizer and u can see how the wheels look. HOWEVER on a handful have the rears at +53 offset. Once u enter your vehicle in the fitiment guide make sure u select the rear wheels option and u will see what's available. Then do the visualizer. Hope this helps. Good luck

Do you modify fiberglass or carbon hoods, or is that done at Florida? Are the oem's steel or aluminum? If they are steel, a carbon fiber hood would reduce the front end weight, located high on the chassis, quite a bit ... a very good thing !!
