Picked up this 2017 CPO C300 last august and wanted to share its big transformation. I did everything by myself, which took a minute lol. Here are some before and after shots:
The car looks amazing, and for that pricepoint it's incredibly hard to beat! I'll be honest I'm going for a very similar profile with my C400 only with a different color scheme (white/black) and I hope to come even remotely close to what you've been able to do with yours!
Would you mind if I asked where you purchased the rear diffuser/tailpipes? I'm about to do some exhaust work so now would be the time to do it and I'd love to have this look (I need quad pipes in my life) - if I'm able to I'd love to make them semi-functional as well compared to my blanks!
The lights look great all around as well! Did you change the headlight bulbs or do something totally different to achieve that look in the fourth pic? It looks killer! And sorry if this is way too long of a post I'm fanboying and at the same time drooling at the thought of my car looking this awesome too! Did you have to cut the tail-light tint to fit yourself or was it preformed? I'm asking because my experience on this would be zero and I may be looking into taking it into a local shop. I can do mechanical/electrical work however paint/body work and aesthetics aren't my forte and I know someone else would do a better job than I could.
Thank you and hope you and the car are doing great!

Thanks! I purchased the diffuser with tailpipes from eBay. It is a Chinese made replica with slight modifications compared to the original AMG diffuser. The replica has much sharper edges, making it look more aggressive.
The headlight bulbs are factory. It is just the angle I took the photo at, makes it give off the additional blueish color. I applied the tail-light tint myself. It goes on the same as vinyl. But if you never played around with vinyl wrap then it's going to be pretty hard to tint them yourself.
Thank you for getting back to us on everything! I'll definitely be buying a diffuser ASAP now after seeing this, and thank you for the heads up with tinting/vinyl - I have zero experience with it and will be leaving that for a professional. I'll have to get some before and after pictures I love the way you displayed it here showing the contrast. Thanks again!
