The mods have been completed...for now [Would love to hear some feedback]








[Not sure what happened in this picture but there isn't any white/grey on the lower bumper... must be the lighting or something]





MODS
MagnaFlow XPipe
MagnaFlow Mufflers
S63AMG Exhaust Tips
C63AMG Carbon Style Rear Diffuser
C63 AMG Style Piano Black Front Grille
Mina Gallery Lower Metal Mesh Grille
Clear Sidemarkers
1080M Series Dark Matte Grey Vinyl
15% Tint all around
18" VMR710 Wheels w/ 15mm spacers on rear
Ceika Performance BBK brakes

[Really only mod left would be to pick up some coilovers]

I would appreciate any feedback (bad or good), and maybe some opinions on some things you think I should have done

Looks good! However if my car looked like that, I would:

Add a trunk and roof spoiler
And black out the headlights.
When I say blacked out headlights I am talking about ones that are black inside and not the the lenses smoked. That looks cheap otherwise. Such as these that I am selling:

https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...eadlights.html

Also, possibly a front lip.
Ride height looks pretty good, unless you want coilovers for the performance aspect of it.

Thanks! I was thinking about adding a CF trunk lip, and a front lip might go looking do some window shopping on ebay lol

Yah new headlights would be nice as well, but I probs wont do that till I have some extra cash laying around

That is hands down one of the best w204 ever
Thanks a lot!! I feel like it looks better in person than the photos, but it made me smile reading that!

If I were you, I'd put a red stripe on the outside circle of the rims, something like this


Last is, CF spoiler

I actually disagree with this if the intention is to keep a very clean look. I would definitely go for those "blacked out" headlights that w204_Generic is talking about though, it'd definitely fit in with the theme

Well, I guess you're right if the goal was to get a cleaner look

Other thing you could do, maybe this? Smoked version of LED Bar tail lights

https://www.uniquestyleracings.com/i...product_id=655

Oh yeah, and the lights on your mirror, it should be smoked too!

I was thinking about the red pinstripe but Im not sure how flashy that would get.
Yea I'd defs wanna convert to the facelift tail-lights.

Are the side mirrors easy to change?
I really dislike the stock 08 ones

I still want your wheels by the way..

Where did you get the wrap done and how much was it? I want to get mine done in white, it's currently black, but I love the white look. I'm in Edmonton.

Did you paint the calipers or get new ones? If new, how much and where did you get them?

I like it a lot. 3 things I'd do different - black out trunk logo, tint the headlights and taillights. Just smoke - nothig crazy so you can still see them.

I congartulate you on completion and admire your patience with the wrap...

Looks good! I would throw a little more CF parts on to go with the rear diffuser. CF trunk spoiler, CF front lip and maybe CF side mirror covers. CF roof spoiler would be nice also if you're into that

Looks good man. Awesome job! Love the red Mercedes emblem on the rear. If it were me, I'd reflect this color for the emblem on the grille. ^.^

I'm usually not big on a matte finish, but on your car, it looks amazing. Again, looks good, so don't do anything crazy. The simple clean look does your vehicle wonders. Too many mods on some cars usually make it look like the owner is trying too hard.

Haven't been on the forums in awhile. PM's work better for me since I get them to my email
But they were actually pretty good. Not the fastest response but in the end I got everything working.

Quality of the brakes are good. Probably should of got a bigger sized rotor but oh well. High speed stops are better than stock

What's the damage on that BBK?

I'm still assuming doing the C63 conversion is cheaper and likely the route I will take. But open for other options.

I did find these based off an old thread that RB commented in. Found it under C350, but assume it would be compatible with the C300. Shouldn't be any differences I would imagine.
