From Luxury to Sport (Build Thread)
Editing, hold on guys.
Hey all,
I've learned so much since I've been a member here. I thought that I should share my mini-mods as time has progressed during the ownership of this vehicle. All except for the last bit were DIY initiatives.
I bought a 2008 C300 Luxury because I loved the tan interior, but wanted the exterior Sport look. Here's how my conversion has gone so far, along with various mini-mods...
First purchased:
First mod; clear side markers and LEDs:
SLK-style grill:
LED eye-lids:
HID Xenons -- don't worry, lens flair; obviously not this bright:
New version of the side-view mirrors -- arrow-type:
Trunk spoiler lip:
LED turn-signal tail-lights:
Tints:
Sport front bumper -- note the lacking fog lights; working on that now:
I should be good to go for a bit after my fog assemblies and LED H7 fogs are installed.
One "mod" not mentioned but still useful in my opinion:
- Bluetooth A2DP music streaming with track changing
I'll update this thread as I update my car.
Cheers all!

Good work. If you are going to upgrade the sideskirts, get C63 style side skirts and not the the ones that come with sport model, they look much better and cleaner finish. I'm looking to do that to my car sometime in the future

Thanks for the tip! Any advice on where to pick one up? I'll save it for later after my bumper and cf diffuser I think.

Nicely done. I assume it's not a 4MATIC ?

As of now, though, I removed this and used the tow hook plate holder instead, which is offset to the passenger's side. I quite like it.
