Hey guys received the RADO downpipe for my C250 from a part out from a fellow member here. I still have the second cat on my exhaust system (muffler shop convinced me to keep in on when I got my exhaust done) but everything else is gone ie: no resonator, no muffler, no main cat. To say the least the downpipe TRANSFORMED the car entirely. The car pulls so much harder from like 2500-5500 rpm. Gave the car way more life up in the top end where our power normally dies out. If you're reading this and own a C250 I HIGHLY recommend getting the downpipe. However, the car is extremely loud between that same rev range to the point where I can almost feel the exhaust vibration but the drone is about the same as when I had the cat odd enough
As far as the install goes it was fairly straight forward however the O2 sensor gave me some trouble removing probably because I didn't have the right tool. However the rest was pretty simple
I also got some all weather mats from the same member and they're awesome!
Are you talking about the carbon fiber covers that just go on the outside of the existing mirrors? Because I haven't seen a carbon fiber one that is the whole mirror housing replacement for $150. Not so big of a fan of the covers because of my white car it won't look too good.
I really like those edition 1 side stickers. I've considered them.

Probably my favorite aesthetic mod I have done to the car until people try and race you thinking you drive a race car and at least for me the C250 is slow as hell compared to the opponents lmao
A little update on the build:
1. Depo headlights with R3 80W Led bulb upgrade with headlight tint
2. Tinted tailights
Also, enjoy some pics from a photoshoot with me and my w204 friends. All pics were taken by mr.brightside here on the forum or @keep_1t_300 on insta. Follow me on insta as well @kamc250. The black c250 @socal204 and the grey one @m.hakimi_310
Little update to the build that I didn't think would happen finally did! Copped some H&R street performance coilovers from a part out and man I love them gonna get the rear a little lower but I have some major rubbing issues to work out in the rear and also the front fenders need rolling, but it's at least sitting at a no finger gap all around
Also got the depo clear side markers and replaced the bulb with LEDs. Didn't like the clear look so I vinyl wrapped them in 3m gloss white vinyl.
Before and After: H&R Super Sports vs H&R Coils (not close to max low)
Man black and white is for sure the best color scheme lol.
Thanks bro! Quite honestly there was a point in time where I got tired of the black and white. It does get a little boring (to me at least) after a while lol
Forgot to post this with the last update but I also swapped out all the interior bulbs with LEDs and mannnnn they look good. The footwell bulbs are different from the rest (out of my old headlight parking led)
You'll also see a color I've been experimenting with on the interior trim
Wow haven't realized haven't updated this thread with the new wheels I had gotten. Now the wheels have been rebuilt as well as I have a new set of coils.
I'm running Brabus Monoblock IV 3-piece wheels; 18x8.5 F and 18x9.5 R

the ground wasn't level hence the monster truck-like wheel gap in the back
