My C200 Build Thread UK
Hi guys,
Just thought I would make a build thread to keep track of the progress with the car & share the journey with you guys.
I don't like keeping my cars stock, I have only had it a month & its already got bits & bobs added to it.
Build spec
Polar white AMG line with premium +. In the UK that includes all the command online, pano, burmester, ambient etc etc
Here's what she looked like stock on day 1:
After tints (all round), london shot:
What was done next, I ordered a c63 diffuser from china & took it to EMP performance for a full catback exhaust system.
Will upload a picture of the underside & a video of how it sounds soon.
There is a very good change in sound & the burp on gear shifts while in sport+ sounds awesome, however it is still not as loud as I want it. Told by the garage that it is heavily restricted by the Cat of the turbo & the secondary cat so will be going in to get the secondary cat removed.
At the moment there is hardly any drone in the cabin & sounds good outside, very well complimented by the new diffuser.
Future mods:
- Full remap either by GAD tuning or eurocharged, Im told by GAD that i should see increase of 60-65hp with exhaust taking to a nice 250hp.
- New rotiforms + lowered
- Gloss black front splitter, grill, window trim, badges etc.
- Amg lip, not keen on the aftermarket ones.
Will keep everyone posted

Looks great! Thanks for sharing pics, especially for someone like me, who is still waiting for his C300 to be built. Thankfully, it's being built this Friday, the 25th. I hope there's truth in the phobia about cars being built on a Friday!
