Just got my first MB!!

Hey guys I just got my first MB last week. Found a 2009 c300 only 48k miles on it!!! Looking to see if anyone has some classy/Necessary upgrades to make to it. Or anything I should be careful about. So far I’m loving it! I’m wondering if there is any possible way to swap the star for an illuminated one?

How interesting. I just got my first ever mb too.
Always a fan, but too rich for my budget.
I took a chance on an old c series and am quickly finding out that German engineering is a bit quirky to say the least.
already learning some things on this forum I want to try to fix the issues I've found.
unfortunately I'm away on business now and won't be able to get to work on it until next week

I’m planning on painting the grill black and reattaching the chrome accents as well as getting clear side markers
