This is my C250 2016 that i bought with 15kms on the clock straight from the dealership, traded in my C63 W204 2012 for this and couldn't be happier with the quality, but exterior wise something was missing so i changed it up.
She's a beauty!! Did you have the rear diffuser painted? How's the muffler and resonator delete sound is there lots of drone? I'm looking to do something similar to my c300

Thanks, The rear diffuser comes like that from china, bought it off aliexpress and it's actually almost identical to the real one... There's is a lot of drone from the muffler and resonator delete, but i'm used to it now, also i'll be putting up some flybys and in-cabin sounds of the muffler/resonator delete.
Kept the badges and tried to make it sound like the previous monster.
I don't get it.
Didn't want to mention the fact that i did also buy a c63s 2016 which i will also post up this afternoon to use as a weekend driver, but let's keep the comments to yourself mate, I'd like to have the amg look with better fuel economy even though i thrash the c63s on the weekends.
The twin exhaust pipes with the diffuser cost me around $450AUD shipped from aliexpress, you can get some good quality stuff from there.
I did the brake calipers myself :P just some red caliper spray cans and some amg caliper stickers that i picked up for 9$ for a set of 12, got them from http://supdec.info
The drone must be a PITA...
After some experimentation, I left my resonators on and simply replaced the mufflers with Magnaflows to get the tone lower... they sound pretty flatulant with straight throughs.. IME
A tiny bit of drone at 2k on the highway when coming onto the throttle, which prompted me to dynamat the car .. doing the boot floor and wheel well make a big difference here for bugger all cost...
I got carried away and have done the entire car but its diminishing returns..
Might improve your situation....
All the best...

That actually does seem like a good idea to sound deaden the car as it does deafen the rear passengers and they do get annoyed when i'm cruising at around 2k rpm, but anything after that and it's sweet. I'm most likely going to keep the current setup, but i might actually look into that sound deadening fix, thanks for that

That makes even less sense. Spend $$$ on second car so you save $ on gas?

okay, bye.
Is there honestly any reason for you to trash talk other people's cars? do you honestly enjoy annoying people? lmao.... There is a reason people that buy C63's own a second car as their daily drivers and that's to not drive 20-30,000 Km's in the C63 which in Australia will basically depreciate it's value by 30k.

Quit being disrespectful. It's his wallet and his opinion. You may not agree and you're entitled to you're own opinion but stop riding his post like you're on a mission.
I dunno man I kinda agree with alexasa. While I love the changes made the the car. Putting an amg badge on it seems like posing. I understand you also have another new c63s so why the need for an amg logo on your daily driver..
I concur to each their own. But you did share your mods with the community. Did you think you were gonna get all praise and no flack??
I also think its rather funny to buy a car thats high performance not very fuel efficient for 100k+ then at the same time buy a another 40-50k car to save money on fuel... I mean 40k in fuel could last you a life time. Seems rather odd but concur that that was not the original intent of the post.
I do love to the mods with exception of the amg logo on the back.
I hope OP is still hanging around, my friend is interested in tuning his C 250, if you can recommend a place it will be much appreciated.
The tune i installed was PNP which was at Hills Eurohaus in Castle Hill :P and basically gave me a noticeable boost in low and mid range acceleration, had to import it from the states, got it from this website, The guys there will import it for you and also have flash tunes available for the car if you're interested

nothing compares to the originals though, i recommend trying to grab some used Edition 1 AMG rims.
