Whats with this grill, RIMS, fog lights?
Hey all. I'm thinking of buying this car and trying to get as much info as I can on it. 2012 C250 4matic. Vin# WDDGF8FB9CA597478 (Canada)
Whats the deal with these grills with no MB logo in the middle and the stand up logo on the hood. I don't mind it but always wondered when I saw these grills and hood ornaments as to why,(saw one on a C300) upgrade, downgrade, aftermarket? Is the grill hard to replace?
Whats with the fog light? I kind of like the LED strip better. Ive never seen these before.
Cant figure out if its a sport package or luxury. I'm guessing luxury because of the wood trim but very new to MB so any help appreciated.
Are the rims the basic or is that an upgrade. Ive seen like a wide 5 spoke which I assume are the basic, then these multi spoke which I assume are mid and then the split 5 spoke which I assume are the highest upgrade.
Wish that license plate holder wasn't on the front.
Thanks a lot for any help

So, this kind of looks like a euro-spec c250...but you're in Canada so maybe that applies.
Luxury has that grill and luxury body panels - check foglights (different shapes), side skirts, and rear diffuser (above exhaust tips)
As said, sport package has the big star front grill. Although if you don't recognize that classic style grill, I'm sure you're not familiar with Mercedes...or cars in general to much...
Wood trim is an option.
Those are luxury wheels, up to you if you like them.
Basically this is a base package c250.

First time I've seen those dual fogs on a C Class. Are you sure the front panel hasn't been replaced. Grill and stand up emblem can both be replaced easily and inexpensively.

I had a look at it today. Rims are only 16”
I Find it hard to believe they have this nice display and gps but no back up camera.
Thanks all.

Facelift cars have LED's in the US as standard. In Europe, however, LED's are an option, and dual fogs are standard (the sport ones look cool).
That's why I mentioned Euro-spec. Canada has their own options, mostly similar to the European models.
