Hello from Vietnam
I would like to share with you guys my C249 - own customized version
In Vietnam market, MBz introduces C200 - pretty much base version, C250 Exclusive (a bit on the luxury side) and C250 AMG (with AMG sport package). I decided to get the C200 so i modify the car my own way. Here are few mods so far

Nice job.
Your car looks better than a US spec base model. It sits pretty low unlike the
SUV looking base W205's we have here.

What are the chrome bars in the "air ducts" below the front headlights? I have seen these bars on non-US models and wonder what they are and can we get them for our US cars? They look similar to the LED light bars on the W204.

Wrong, they are on my UK C200 Sport. I personally like the way it breaks up the large air duct.

MB W204, VW Polo, Audi R8 V10 - SOLD.
In the UK that chrome bars on the air intake is the trim for either the base or "Sport" version of the car (I can't remember which one). But it's not on the "AMG" line trim.

Nice mods and a great looking car.

Your pictures also answer a question for me: Can this car be made with a proper rear bumper/upper panel alignment? The answer is yes ... the fit on your car is perfect without that unsightly "step" at the point where the two panels meet.

Congratulations on your new W205!

Did you put spacers on those rims if so what size? They look more aggressive then stock AMG.

Holly cow, why did you have to hand make the spoiler? And what did you make it with? I could see from the pic that it's a bit uneven

Nice job. Where did you get rear tips from C63? Saw them on ebay, do you also need C63 diffuser or not? Is it sounding differently?

Nice job! I have spent a lot of time in Vietnam setting up our business there. Good old Vietnam. People there have a real "can do" attitude with the aptitude to make it happen.

Was your car assembled in your local Vietnam plant? You guys have always done a great job of the MB cars you build.

EDIT: I know you guys were the first plant to build the new S Class outside Germany.

ok, this is the "nicer" silver colored wheels. I hope the luxury 17" wheels in 2016 are exactly in this quality silver. Love the diamond silver exterior. If anyone has the part number for the lower fog light trim, please let us all know?

David Kazman, you should really stop posting the same pictures of your car. i've only been here 2 months and i already saw the same pics of your car like in 6 different threads.

why do you feel the need to keep posting the before and after shots of your car?

Eww that diffuser and rear deck lid spoiler are pretty bad.

Wavy, non-symmetrical, etc.
