I've Made My Own Model - The First C300s

Yeah, I went there, lol. After all the mods and money to date, I feel I deserve a special badge. To me, it is no longer just a C300... it's quicker/faster than a stock C300, it handles/grips much better than a stock C300, and in my opinion (I know looks are subjective) it looks better than a stock C300.

So here we are. I now have a C300s. (pretty sure I'm the first nutjob to do this)

















I've donned my fire suit, so I'm ready for the flames!

Wow! Talk about a car worthy of a special badge! That is an amazing build.

An "R" badge definitely needs serious power to back it up, IMO.

Thanks!

I dont really like the color of the s but as long as you are happy with it its fine.
you are not the first to create your unique car model but most people go more AMG style with a 2 digit name like C30

Oh yeah, I know brother... when I said first, I meant "C300s". I've never seen or heard of that specific franken-badging (lol) being done before.

I like it Keith. And you are right this car is definitely not a stock C300. It deserves a special badge
C300s similar to C63 vs C63s. You never know one day Mercedes steal your idea and start building C300s. This when Keith will sue Mercedes for stealing innovative ideas 😂.

Thank you!!! I appreciate the compliment. You have a beautiful C also! Very cool. Your wheel & tire setup is excellent... I'm curious what your setup is (wheel width and offsets) or if you are running spacers? Looks great.

When it comes to W205 rear bumper covers, simply put, any W205 rear bumper cover fits any W205. It really doesn't matter what specific model you have, they are all interchangeable. And yes, this includes the C63. The body panels on a C63 are only different from the A-pillar forward.



There are only 2 primary types of W205 bumper covers; The Avantgarde/Luxury/Base bumper cover (left above) and the Sport Package/AMG-line/AMG models bumper cover (right above). Either one will fit any W205 chassis car.

(Exception: If you have an "e" (Hybrid) model, the same rules apply, but the bumper cover must have the charging receptacle port opening & access door.)

Also, there are only 2 primary types of diffusers. Diffusers that were made for the "left" bumper cover and diffusers that were made for the right bumper cover. Again, they are not model-specific for fitment.

(Exception: For models that only have a single exhaust outlet (such as diesel models), a dual exhaust diffuser may require some modification or customizing for the exhaust tip on the side with no factory exhaust outlet to fit correctly.)

So... good news for anyone wanting to make a change, it's your choice!

I look forward to watching your progress!

Yeah dead on arrival :pBtw for diesels you need to cut part from the topside off for the right side exhaust tip due to the adblue tank taking up space
