2010 C200 CGI
FIrst time Merc driver
Hey everyone..
I purchased my first MB last week...
Its a 2010 C200 CGI Avantgarde in white.
Only mods so far, are the 19 inch AMG wheels (8.5, 9.5), wrapped in Kumho Ecsta Le Sport tyres.
My planned future mods are:
- gloss black vinyl roof wrap
- matt black grille
- CF front lip
- HID
Just wanted to get everyone's opinion:
- CF wrapped boot spoiler, AMG or Brabus style?
- quad exhaust or just a different type single exhaust with CF diffuser?
I know this car won't go very fast, so I'm not really interested in the performance aspects. Might go for coilovers, but most likely springs.
Also, my car didn't come with the COMMAND nav unit, and I want to install a nav unit. But sourcing a genuine COMMAND unit is going to be too expensive.. Has anyone had any good experiences with aftermarket units that don't affect the other functions of the car?
Any opinions and suggestions for future mods are most welcome!!!
Thanks in advance!

Congrats on the new ride! It will definitely look great with those mods. I would go for the AMG or Brabus style spoiler, but since you're blacking out the other parts, the CF AMG style spoiler would look great! Quad exhaust definitely looks way more aggressive than the single with the CF diffuser, because let's face it, as you said it's not the fastest car, and the diffuser is one of the lighter pieces anyways, not to mention you can hardly tell if a diffuser is CF or not unless you're 2 feet away.
But it's your car, you call the shots! Have fun with it, post pictures and keep us updated!

Thanks for the reply and suggestions.
I think I prefer the AMG style spoiler as well...
I prefer the look of the quad exhaust as well, but my only reason for not wanting it, is that the car might look like its "trying to look like a c63"... lol
oh well, i guess I'll look around a bit more before making up my mind..
