My w204 Journey
Hello everyone!
A few weeks ago i totaled my w203 when some jerk made a U-turn in front of me. But will the downs come ups. And today I purchased at 2009 C300 4matic sport with 69k miles on it!
I already ordered an x pipe, HID's, LED all around. I'm gonna do 20% tints all around and debadge shortly. Beautiful car and I'm happy to have stayed with mercedes!

Nice. How does it feel in comparison to the W203? Does it ride firmer? Is it more refined all around and how solid does it feel? Also, is the 7 speed smooth like the 5 speed is?

MUCH better/ different than w203. Quicker, smoother handling. Lower. just an all around upgrade TBH

Oh okay, how did you wire it though? I've seen a few kits for lights like that but I just dont really know to wire and make it functional within the cabin.

Well I wired them to a cigarette lighting for now. A cleaner install would be to the fuse box and then a switch to the interior, but thats down the line

My latest mod was with some vinyl wrap. It is my first time wrapping anything and I think it turned out pretty well!

I also never posted pictures of my exhaust work. I first did a resonator delete with an x pipe like many others. the sound wasn't enough for me so I went ahead and deleted the secondary cats/resonators that are located towards the front of the car and now it sounds amazing. No drone at all but when you push it... well you know.

I also vinyl wrapped the top part of the side mirrors and left a straight light for the turn signal you can sort of see it in the picture below!
Took this today!
