Hello ya'll - new member here!

Hey folks,

Wanted to say hi to all of you members! I am a new Mercedes owner...well my wife is. I have always been a BMW lover and fan but I fear that I may be converting to MB with the new design 2015 onwards!

I have been an active member of the Bimmerpost forums and I hope to be able to gain a ton of knowledge, experience and information through this forum and eventually be able to contribute in some way down the line.

My wife is not big in to mods but I am so I registered here to see what all I can do to our new 2015 C300 (initially only things that don't void the warranty )

Feel free to come up with recommendations/suggestions on what all I can start with and what my options are.

A few things that I am going to get done:
-Clear bra
-Window tints
-Illuminated star on the front grill (not sure)
-I want to install or get a rear view camera installed - not sure if I should get this done at a dealership or some other shop or is it even possible to do it by myself?
-Fog lights
-CF wrap or paint the bottom silver lip below the bumper (not sure what it is called) to black - not sure if this can even be done. It is chrome at the moment.

Any other recommendations/suggestions? I want to see if I can get the auto start stop on traffic lights programmed to stay off permanently.

Thanks in advance for the welcome and all recommendations/suggestions folks! Looking forward to some fun times and conversations with ya'll!!!

Cheers
Sam.

Welcome to MBWorld. Grats on the pickup. Of the mods listed, obviously clear bra is the only time sensitive mod as longer you leave it exposed, more likely you'll pick up that chip. Everything else should be doable. For the programming, you'll need to find a shop with a STAR diagnostics system (MBs variant of your BMW ICOM).

Welcome to the forum Sam and congratulations on your purchase! Sounds like you've got big plans for this C300! I am sure you'll find information just about anything you might have questions about here.

Enjoy your new Mercedes, hope your wife lets you drive it! Make sure to post some pics for us.
