Any DIY mods I can do for my '11 C300?
I bought a 2011 C300 Sport and would like to do some budget, "bolt-on",
Do-it-yourself type of modifications in order to achieve more HP, better acceleration but am also open to cosmetic mods as well. I have already replaced the factory air filters to K&Ns so hopefully I got a few extra HP out of that addition...I possibly feel a little bit of a throttle-response increase but could be my imagination or wishful thinking. Any suggestions?
Thanks and much appreciated!

Cosmetic wise, you can debadge using a heat gun and peeling them off. Just don't apply too much heat or your paint gets wasted.
Plastidip is another option to get a particular colour, e.g. black out the chrome parts of the car. They easily peel off if you have done mistakes too. Totally reversible. Other than that, I'm not entirely sure what other things that give you more HP...maybe an ECU tune? Not really DIY (send to a shop) but the installation is quite easy.
