C250 Mods Complete-Exhaust-Grille-Lower-Wheels-etc **PICS**

So finally done with all my Mods- picked up this 2012 C250 with 19,000 miles on it about a month ago- The car looked real plain & needed to be spiced up & look a little more aggressive for my taste-

-Clear Side Markers
-Black out Chrome around windows,lower bumper & Trunk
-H&R Sport Springs (very subtle, kind of wish they would be a bit lower but didn't want the slammed ghetto look)
-AMG Front Grille
-19" MB-8 Wheels from Euro Wheels USA 45-48 offset
-Quad Exhaust with AMG Tips & Magnaflow exhaust
-JB Tune + Intake (felt a difference in power and response + good sound)
-AMG rear diffuser
-AMG rear roof & trunk spoilers.
-Vinyl Brushed Aluminum interior trim- car came with the wood grain which i didn't like so got it changed to Aluminum look

Very nice! Looks much more aggressive with all the mods. How does the exhaust sound with the magnaflow mufflers? Video?

This is what it sounds like, but this video was a couple of weeks ago before adding the intake, JB Tune & lowering etc...it sounds different now with the intake

Is there a popular "compare spring drops" thread on here?

I know with my B6 Passat the drop varied by engine type since they didn't change the spring part numbers, so a VR6 ended up with a better drop than the 2.0T. Wondering if it is the same story with C350 vs C250, for example, since they differ by over 200 lbs. in curb weight.

This looks just right.

The tips look like the perfect amount of sticking out to me.

These mods were well thought out, and all go great with each other! I wish my car was Iridium Silver. Lol. Very nice looking car!

How much did the quad pipe conversion set you back all together? I do like your mods - very toned down, classy. I'm thinking of making some changes to mine...still debating whether or not I want to hold on to it.

Any 0-60/WOT runs? I know jctevere (before he turned traitor and went for the cla :P) stated he was able to get his 0-60 down to 5.9 w/ the tune/intake as his only major performance modifications. He was going to make a video showing the run, but never did.
