W204 C250 Manual
W204
Just bought a 2011 C250 in manual tran. I'm trying to find a diffuser, front lip, and rear spoiler all in gloss black but I am having no luck. Does anyone have links they could send?

Hi Alex,

Congrats on the rare C250/manual. If you’re in Canada, it’s an M272 V6 so you’re lucky and dodged the M271.

You’ll need to purchase the items in a raw or carbon fibre state then either have the items painted or wrapped to your colour preference.

Use the search to see what others have done and go from there. For example, a C63 diffuser with quad tips seems to be a popular route people take.

W204 C250 Manual
Thanks, I'm loving the car. Do you have any online stores that would have body parts for the W204 body style, I really can't seem to find anything (and I have a tough time navigating the forum as a newbie).

W204 C250 Manual
Make sure you check that it has been well maintained in the past and you should be good. Bought mine with 90k KILOMETERS on it as I'm in Canada and the only thing that I needed to have replaced was a leaking power steering line (seems to be a common issue with the w204). Not a cheap vehicle to fix but making sure all the maintenance is up to date will set you up for success.

I would stay away from the C250 M271 4-cylinder turbo engine as it's known not to be too reliable. The timing chain stretches with time and requires replacement and the high-pressure fuel pump fails as well. You wouldn't want to pay for these repairs at 21 trust me. It won't be cheap.

Based on all the research I conducted, I decided that the 2012 C300 4MATIC Sport was the best option for me. It was the first year of the facelift while still retaining the reliable M272 V6 engine and 722.6 7G+ transmission. The best of both worlds.

If you lived in Canada the C250 has the M272 6-cylinder engine. Oh Canada!

Lucky you! A friend of mine has a C250 imported from Canada and he's very happy with it. Much more reliable than his friends' C250 with the M271 EVO engine.
