Hello! First Mercedes recently purchased!



Hey everyone.
I recently purchased a 2008 c300 sport
White exterior on full black interior
Vehicle is a 1 owner with 67k on it.

Looking to personalize it a little bit as well as gain some knowledge of the vehicle in any areas I might be unclear on.

Look forward to being active here!!!

Nice C300! Just bought one too, black on black 6-speed... I think I'm going to black it out, but for a while I plan to enjoy the chrome. White was my second choice, love the contrast you have going on. I've been looking into doing the common x-pipe mod, how about you?

Welcome to MBWorld. Grats on the w204 pickup. Resonator delete/X-pipe mod will definitely open up the exhaust sound with a more aggressive roar. Good choice. Looks like she already had some other aftermarket work done on her, but hard to tell from the small pic. Chrome delete and painted front grille?

Let us know if we can help you out with any lighting upgrades. Looks like you have stock halogen package, we have plug and play kits to upgrade you to HIDs and replace the other exterior/interior lights with new modern brighter and whiter LEDs

Thanks!

Appreciate it!
I have some headlights on the way, ordered a bunch of things

Only thing done when I bought it was the black grill really.
Air suspension soon, looking at wheels and considering some carbon fiber bits also
