Welcome to MBWorld.
Grats on the w204 pickup. As for power mods, you can get a tune, but as the engine is naturally aspirated, you're not getting too much performance boost from it. Even airflow is pretty good, but some do upgrade the filters to be slightly less restrictive to help her breath more. There's also a little extra baffling in the airbox some have dremeled out. I believe I recall someone had installed a custom remote turbo because there really wasn't too much space to do anything inside the engine bay. Honestly though, you're probably not going to eek out too much more power from her and most just focus on improving handling with suspension work. You would have been better off going for a 350 or fund permitting, a 63.
Either way though, she's still a fine vehicle and what she lacks in power, she makes up in luxury appointments and comfort.
Let us know if you ever want to upgrade any of the lighting. LED eyebrows, signals, rear plate, interior etc are common mods to get rid of the dingy yellowish color.
