Wifes new C300
Picked up a new C300 for my wife a few weeks back, we got a great deal on a loaded 2wd from our friends at Fletcher Jones in Newport Beach. I spent the last few weeks doing a quick make over before the wife takes it and doesn't give it back 
Cleaned up the dull finish on the brakes, did all the chrome trim in a dark grey to match the brakes and avoid the common black, and painted the grill surround the Iridium silver, door handles and switched out the factory deck with the Carlsson deck and 19" staggered 1/10 wheels. This is really a great car, we had a W204 C300 and it was one of the best cars I have ever owned, so as much as I love the looks of the new car, I hope it exceeds the function of our last one. We have some more parts coming from Germany to complete the package, but for now I think she will love the look.

Thanks Vic!
The car came with the factory deck, but the stock one on the sedan just makes the car look too close to the CLA, and of course I have to represent, and I know it seems bias, but I really am happy with the look of the deck, I like the way it comes over the quarter panels. Maybe a 3pc version would have worked? Hard to say, that back on the sedan really drops off.
Anyway, thanks for your feedback!

Thank you guys!!
Car is Iridium.
Springs are on the way, still got a few more things to do.
So far we are really happy with the car, amazing what a difference from our W204.

I had a C300 W204 and our lease was up in May, we were under the mileage on our 204 and I wanted to lease the new car for about the same money, our 204 was a luxury model and our new car was loaded with Pano roof, back up camera, blind spot assist, 19" AMG wheels, rear trunk spoiler (that I took off to replace with the Carlsson one) and LED headlamps...our drive off was the same as when we bought the 204 and the payment only went up about $30.00 per month. I am happy with the deal we got, and the service was stellar. I took about 2 weeks to convert the new car and was able to keep our old car for about a week and half to complete it, and then was given a C400 to drive the final last few days of finishing up our car, so no complaints.

Yes, sorry...got a little fast with the lingo we use around the shop, when we talk about a trunk spoiler we say deck because sometimes it can become confused with the rear apron that is also by some referred to as a spoiler, so we say deck and apron/diffuser around the shop.
My bad!
