Keep in mind all of this is subjective but my rule of thumb is on the exterior of the car if it didn't come with it don't add it. Except for things like wheel caps. Interior is pretty much anything goes.

That badge means a lot to some people and you might get some people butt hurt but hey it's your car.

c300 doesn't have dual tips on exhaust. also the spoiler on c300 is not a lip spoiler. Also the tires aren't as wide on the c300.

I've noticed it seems the offset and alignment of wheel/tire on the c450 is more aggressive than the c300. Is that right, or am I seeing things?

Don't put an AMG badge on the rear. It's not a thoroughbred and doesn't deserve the label.

Throw a tune on it, debadge it, and turn some heads when you step on it.

I actually want to remove the fender badges also. I was kinda relieved when it didn't have an AMG badge on the back.

I searched desparately for the AMG badge, of smaller size than the one in the rear, we can find in the ashtray cover. Impossible to find. This is for me as I like the look not to show off.
If anyone knows where to find it I buy.

But in Canada, we do not have MBrace, so there really is not much use in turning it on (and so it is probably a good idea to turn it off).

You're correct, but the trade off will be quicker tire wear on the C450.

Don't get caught up in what other people think. Holds for most things in life.

I'm not worried about that. I expected a mere 8,000-12,000 miles given the suspension and AWD situation and weight of the car. I'll be getting rid of the runflats at first chance.

I am interested to see if some of yall would be interested in sending me your ecus to be flashed and allowing me time to review the tune. In return you would receive one of our ecus to use while yours is being reviewed and then would receive a free/discounted flash.

Im am still pondering on the idea vs. Buying some extra ecus but would like your feedback one way or the other.
I'm down for it I'm in AK. But I can do some winter testing lol. I'm new on the forum and rather new to the Mercedes croud. I was a convert from a Subaru STI. I apprenticed at my buddies body shop and have rebuilt/repaired enough mercedes and other European cars that I knew what my next one was gonna be nearly jumped on the CLA250 AMG. But found the interior to be plastic like and not the finish I was looking for. My C450 is my daily driver and I drive it hard. But like with anything I own I have to have more. Let me know!

A question for current owners: what is the name of the app to remotely command the C450? I searched on App Store with no luck.
It's called Mbrace. You get an email to it and MB Roadside assistance during your delivery.
It takes up to 48 hours for TI to become functional. I live way up north here in AK. So that was a must!

I dont think thats a C450 video. Thats a C63 steering wheel, and the torque on the screen is showing 400+
