Hello I'm New to this I'm from So Cal just picked up a 2012 C300 getting ready for a nice lil set up any suggestions!? Thinking 19 staggered miro 111 or Vossen cv2. Windows getting tinted this Friday!

Congratulations! I thought models 2011+ had the face-lifted front bumper and headlights?

Yeah that isn't a 2012 C300. That is a 2011 C300.

LorenzoC300

Yes Indeed it's a 2011 that was a typo! How hard would it be to do the conversion face lift? Would I run into any issues? Thanks everyone

Congrats and welcome to forum!

Some folks did conversion facelift before you can find them by searching for "build thread". Headlights conversion would be the most painful because of the need for new hood. I believe there will be gap if you use your hood with facelift headlights.

Thanks! I can't wait till I get some new shoes and drop an 1 inch all the way around! I'm really thinking about doing the conversion.... What do you think?

There honestly is no point of doing the conversion. There is a huge processes such as purchasing a facelift front bumper, facelift rear bumper, facelift rear diffuser, headlights, tail lights, reprogramming of both, gloss black slit painted grill, rims, and brand new hood. If you have $6,000+ to blow, plus installation if you are not doing it yourself, go for it.

What I say is, work what you have for modifications, this way you can do more modifications that will be more noticeable.(stand out)

^w204_Generic speaks the truth . I wouldn't go the conversion route. There are tons of good mods out there to do. Some news shoes, lowering are def in my list.

LorenzoC300

Thanks you guys are right! Should I go with sport springs or coils? Hmmm

I personally am saving up for some coils because they are better in the long run plus they have adjustment if needed.

LorenzoC300

That's what I was thinking.... Now the real questions is what should I get first coils or wheels I'm already getting limo tint all the way around including front windshield tomorrow.

w204_Generic

Wheels, so that you can determine ride height with the newer rims(if you choose a different size than the OEM 17" wheels) and stiffness later. You wouldn't want to adjust the coils again($$$) because you will have newer wheels.

Very true... Thanks! I really appreciate it I'm new to all this but I love all the good feedback I'm hooked..
