W205
Hi guys, tnx for all the comments
Yes, the smell of the smoking was out, because i replaced the roof, and did interior cleaning, the guy who put ceramic coat on the car, made the smoke disapear.
Cost of transformation....ohhh, I dont know exact amount, but around 5.000 euros, maybe 6.000.
I dont think about engine upgrade, I like low fuel consumption, and I like everything to be original (engine, safety sistems, lights....) Only thing I would put on it is MaxHaust sound generator, to get C 63 sound.
I wanted to keep chrome window trim, because fenders have chrome also, so its harmony

This one, is 100% like oem, from outside, inside you can see that is aftermarket. And I dont recommend you to do it by yourself, you will lose time, break things and do the damage. Consider taking the car to the dealership, or ask auto electric shop to make it for you. Its really hard to do it by yourself.

2017 Mercedes C300 Sport 4Matic AMG Pack (W205)
That's an awesome build!!!!!!! I LOOOOOVE IT!!!!
I also have a W205 2017, and how on earth did you get these vents to have lights?
And do you have more details on the Burmester 3D Tweeters, Air Vents, and the 64 colors interior lights?
These are 3 things that I would definitely want to do this year

Is that bumper and read bumper oem or aftermarket ? Did you have to cut the exhaust to make the rear bumper fit ? And did u need to replace the fenders to make the front bumper fit ?

Out of curiosity what made you think its diesel? As for the exhaust tips and diffuser these are aftermarket as the OEM C63 will only fit on C63 cars. Have a look on ebay and Ali Express there are plenty of aftermarket products that can be installed even if the car is not a C63 or AMG or AMG line. As for the installation you need his feedback.

You can tell it is a Diesel because in the second post there is a photo showiong the fuel cap. There is a second cap there for the Ad Blue (clean diesel system).

Also, in Europe it's a pretty safe guess that a car will be a diesel. Especially if someone talks about fuel economy/efficiency.

yes idd, you see a diesel fuel cap + ad blue
and i know what fits my car and what not however i don't know how it would look with the exhaust tips. for diesel cars the exhaust tips are fake, they are sealed of so you never have smoke coming out of them.
i wonder what you'll get if you get exhaust tips that are not sealed off. i guess on the left you can see the real exhaust pointing down and on the right you look at the ad blue tank

Oh yes there are 2 caps. My car is petrol I only have one cap. So i guess you are right the car is Diesel. He said he will be working on its exhaust sound. This is aust ast car has the C63 look and AMG badges all over it. I am not sure why he doesn't want to tune it or add a power chip. He needs that too as matter of fact the car looks like a beast just like a C63. Many people tune their cars with no issues at all. I installed Brabus power box. In summary he did a great job especially that the car is non sport and diesel. The transformation is amazing.

Why do you care about what you will see. The target is to change the car looks from standard to AMG look. A great example is what the owner of this threat did to his diesel car. My guess is he did some cutting to his real exhaust pipe otherwise how did the diffuser and C63 exhaust tips fit? I wouldn't worry if you need to cut it then let it be. I am frankly not a big fan of these fake sealed exhaust tips.

I don't like them either. That is why I would like to see the result from a better angle

Also, air vents were black, and when I saw colored air vents in new W177 my wish was clear

Here are upgrades!






What was the fitting like? looking to get the full 64 kit light with LED air vents and tweetters.

Where'd you get the front bumper? Did you have to do any Modification to get it to fit?
I'm trying to change out my non-sports front bumper to the c63 style bumper.
