Hello everyone - new here
Hey Mercedes friends;
I recently got myself a w204 2014 c300 sport with less than 40k KM on it. Love it so far. I have been browsing the forums looking for simple yet effective mods, without getting too involved, i still love the look of the stock car.
So far i have converted to LED's for my low beams as well as LED's for the parking lights, as well as LEDs all throughout the interior. The only issue with the parking LED's is that its throwing a canbus error on one side ( i have error cancellers enroute)
I have a grille on order i got from ebay as well, blacked out but with (hopefully) a silver badge, it wasnt clear on the ad and there is some images of both a blacked star and silver...i love surprises..
Funny story about the LED headlamps, when i was putting them in, i didnt tighten the adapter ring properly on the light and dumped the adapter into my headlight housing, they are sure deeper than they look, so about 2 hours later and scraps and cuts up and down my hands i was able to get enough of... me... inside the housing and retrieve my adapter, i had my hand on my amazon order just incase i needed a replacement (amazon prime FTW) -- anyways, i am sure it was a funny sight to see a dude up to his elbow in his headlight housing.
Here are the parts ive used so far:
- adapters for h7 LED's (sweet jesus dont get the wrong ones first like i did)

- parking light LEDs
- reverse light LEDs
- backset roof LED
- other interior LEDs
Things that I am considering
Wheel spacers (5mm or max 10mm, looking only for a very subtle change)
Spoiler
Carbon Fibre interior trim.
I dont have any great pictures at the moment but I am sure I will get a chance to upload more.
Cheers!
