The “Daily” 2015 C300 Build
Longtime member in different wheelbases & picked up a CPO steel grey 2015 C300 with 34k miles. Using it to offset the mileage on my GLC43 since I commute a significant amount for leisure & the mpg is better. Trying my best to hold back on the modding but will do something here & there.
First pic after I had the car polished & ceramic coated to get swirls & minor scratches out.
A week after, decided to chrome delete and knocked out be following:
Gloss black vinyl wrap front lip, window trim, & trunk trim.
Tint tail lights.
Gloss black AMG style grill.
C63 style diffuser with black “muffler” tips.
OEM gloss black mirror housing.

On the to do list is a set or H&R springs (I'll change the shocks out at 50k miles). Debating between an AWE Touring exhaust or going custom cat-back to get a little grumble out of her. Once the tires are at 50%, I have a set of BBS CH-Rs from a CLA250 that will fit. Hopefully that will be it...

Looks good. Palladium Silver or Steel gray were my #2 choice after Iridium Silver & Lunar/Brilliant Blue.
Glad to see the black wrap. The 'chrome' on my front lip is cracked in a few places & I've been thinking about pulling it to wrap it, but probably in a satin black. Will eventually follow up with the window trims.

De chroming a c300
its super easy guys to dechrome the c300
i did mine by just buying a large roll of black 3m vinyl
I think it was like 4’x8’and just use a single piece to do each side. It literally takes like 15 minutes to do each side. For the door handles I just did carbon covers
I wrapped the front and rear chrome as well but ended up just doing carbon splitter up front. I did the rear trunk chrome in carbon 4d vinyl
looks pretty good

I thought the steel gray was almost the same color as then , so I didn’t want it. but after seeing yours it make me want the steel over the silver. Your look sooo nice!

Lowered with H&R Sport Springs (installed @ 714 Tires). 20” x 8.5” BBS CH-Rs powdercoated satin gunmetal with Hankook Ventus V12 245/35/20 (wheels powdercoated & tires from Metalworks & Tireplace in Santa Ana). Also did a black hood emblem & JB Speed door-pins but didn't get to taking pics yet. Few more to do's & I swear I'm done...
