2012 C350 Coupe
New Member...sort of

Well here you have it, the typical introduction post.

Figured I needed to get back on this forum as I haven't really checked in for a couple years.

Just picked up a 2012 C350 Coupe and have some fun ideas for it so I'm hoping to get some good info from everyone in the future.

Only picture I have so far, since this picture I did get it tinted.

5% in the rear windows and 25% on the driver and passenger. Great look for the car and is still great for night time driving.

Welcome to MBWorld. Grats on the w204 pickup. Let us know if you want to upgrade her lighting to whiter plug and play replacement. We have an in house w204 so very familiar with that platform.

Congratulations on your purchase and welcome aboard! Would be great, if you can share some pictures of your C350 with us, when you have a chance.

What upgrades exactly are you planning to do?

I'll get some up here sooner than later!

You're actually one of a couple sites I've been looking at to switch to the OE Style Projector Headlights but would prefer that it already come with a 6000K setup but you guys are definitely in the top 3 on my list.

As far as mods it'll just be aesthetic. C63 Rear diffuser, CF Front Lip, color matched side markers, black grill, paint the AMG wheels black (indifferent about that right now), and dual tip exhaust. Just a typical storm trooper build really.

Anyone know if we have a vendor that does rear diffusers?

Thanks man. Give it a couple months I'll have it looking a lot better.

Bummer there's no real point in investing in a nice exhaust setup. IMO. Something about it being a V6 and Automatic turns me off from the idea.
