Smile C300 Mods looking for help and suggestions

Hello All, From Malaysia here and Just recently got myself a C300(2018) W205 (White). My first and only Merc and I'm currently looking to do a little modding to it. Am wondering what are the possibilities available as I know there are endless. Any picture for references and guidance would definitely be appreciated as I'm clueless in the automotive/MB world. I bought this car mainly because of the design and I mainly enjoy the drive of the car. I came across many great modders/MB enthusiast modding their car. Either changing their bodykit to fit C43/63 to changing Brake Calipers/Rotors. Currently what I have in mind is to probably change the bodykit to fit C63 and change the colour of the car itself to something more eye catching (would prefer gloss over matte and I personally don't enjoy Carbon Fiber design of the car). In certain part of the car such as lips/exhaust is fine but not for hood and etc. I sincerely apologies if I worded things wrongly or if I did anything wrong. I'm VERY VERY new to all these and wold REALLY REALLY appreciate some help and guidance as i dip into the world of automotive :')

Really appreciate the kind responses. The Link is helpful and glad to see all the different types of mods available. For starters how should I begin? I'm looking for a C63 inspired mod and I'm really unsure of where to get it going. Will also be considering tuning to improve HP and torque. Would also be grateful if i could get some recommendation on anything different I can do like that stands out and any colour to recommend to be painted?
For wheels I came across this Vertini RFS 1.9 It looks super sick IMO and really liked it. Any better recommendations?

Give Rex Super Sport a call, they're in Malaysia too. they got everything you need for the c63 look and other options.
I got my hood from them, would have just got everything from there but shipping costs were just too much.

@sidsidhu Appreciate the recommendation and definitely will check them out!
I've already sent in my car to the workshop for a quick makeover on the color. Currently going with Gloss Pearlescent Crystal Blue. Will be spray painting it instead of wrap. I bought C63 Hood/Front bumper + Rear Diffuser from GoodGo(Taiwan) I believe their quality is quite good and reasonably priced I will be looking towards trying to save/cut cost if possible. My currently look is inspired by the look of C63 as the I'm love the look of it very much. For me I enjoy the aesthetic rather than what's under the hood as I personally feel I'm satisfied with what's under the hood. There are thought that I might tune it to Stage 2 and I have read few post on this forum on upgrading the turbo as well. Though I might not have the intention of messing with the turbo (for fear of ruining my car) I am still in consideration for the Stage 2 tuning and trying to understand the concept and risk involved in the tune. I would also be changing the downpipe, exhaust and possibly air filter as these are the few things that were mentioned in the other threads to either increase the performance of the car as well as to make it sounds more aggressive. Any advise for me? Kindly appreciated
@W205C43PFL Thanks for the link. Appreciate it. Will take a quick look for it.

Again for those that just came I truly appreciate your insights and would love to hear your opinions good or bad. I am just a beginner not only for the MB world but also in cars. Thank you~

I really love the pictures you take. The angle really brings out the look of your car and the wheels matches so well. Your pic is making me so excited for the outcome of my own car. Really really hope it would come soon

Am wondering if anyone had done tuning to Stage1/2 on their C300? Looking for advise.
What are the things that will be done? what are the process? What are the pros and cons? I'm interested but I want to understand what's happening to my car instead of just tossing money and letting them do the work.
