I think it's kinda poser-ish for dressing up a C300 to look like a C63. All show but no go.

Those covers are attached to the pop up spray mechanism, so to affix them in place without the spray unit would be some work. Not sure if the covers are available themselves.Maybe do a search on here for the automatic washers and see. I can't help you there as I don't have them.

If its for a c63, it wont fit (fenders are wider). New fenders means new hood, new hood means custom intake required. If its for regular c's you should be good. What material?

If you have the wood trim, to me it doesn't match up. If you have the aluminum trim I think it looks ok, but I was never a big fan of fake carbon fiber. Everyone is different.

None. We dismantle them :)
Nice ride, I have a soft spot for the black on black. That's a decent plastidip job though.

If you need any help with fitment for the hood and fender, just let us know!

I mean it looks clean, but I’ve never been a fan of the blackout theme or black wheels on a black car. It takes me back to like 2010 when that was a huge trend.

Mercedes C250 Coupe
.....the C250 coupe............

The C250 Coupe came to me CPO with 21k on the odometer. From the time I saw the pix on Autotrader.com until the local sales dude called my cel was unbelievably fast.

The test drive left me - - - - well, i think a good analogy would be "like shooting fish in a barrel"..............

I've done nothing - other than the wash/wax the two complimentary dealer service visits provided - to the stock appearance. Beauty - as the saying goes - is in the eyes of the beholder. (I think this little coupe is beautiful)

Plus it get extremely good fuel numbers (per Fuelly.com).

Sure, I've only driven it 11,000 miles in about three years. But not one issue has surfaced. It sure has lived up to the outstanding marks that CU recorded with the 16 reliability points they address in their annual survey.


No complaints from this sailor.

Regrets. No. The car looks just like the Iridium Silver C250 coupe in the factory brochure. No modifications at all. Completely stock.

But I have a place in Roseville................if you're in the 'hood perhaps you could see it (but only in good weather (not in today's rain)........


best, ez

Ha, ha, ............ not THAT interested in seeing your car to meet you somewhere. A picture would suffice. And God forbid if this fine piece of German Engineering would see some Northern CA rain.

I would have kept the outer circumference of the rim (where it meets the tires) the stock silver, especially since you didn't color the emblem in the center.
