2009 C300 (W204) Sport Standard
Hello 👋🏽 New Here !

My name is Christopher and I’m from North Texas. I drive a 2009 Mercedes C300 (W204) Sport standard. I bought it for a steal at local auction and have been upgrading it ever since. I do most of the work myself unless it is out of my level of expertise. So far I have replaced the front bumper, fender. New House of Kolors Frost White with a matte finish paint job. I have a carbon fiber duck spoiler and eventually plan to have the CF rear diffusers and front CF splitter. (I have held off until I have both parts in my possession and then I’ll also do a Resonator delete with a x-pipe and a quad tips as those will fill the new CF rear diffuser slot holes) I of course have kept up regular maintenance, I currently have Brembo brake pads with Niche Road wheels. Gamma M190 19’s to be exact. Electrical wise I have installed ghost shadow lights on each door, Spyder front projector lights. Spyder rear black lights. I have Spyder halo rings for the front I just need to install those. The interior is what I have left alone as I think mechanics come first then exterior and then interior. Eventually I want to replaced all the leather to peanut butter leather with a white roof felt that will have a talavera pattern to match the cars theme. I call my car Lola she is Hispanic. Eventually I want to upgrade my roof paint to mirror the interior pattern with reflective paint.
Im excited to finally have joined something like this, I’ve had this car for a little over 4 years now and I have just utilized YouTube and google searching to find answers. I have Instagram page dedicated to my car if you wouldn’t mind following please. The handle name is #la_bnzo
I also was interested in joining a car club if there is one available in Texas or north Texas if not I think we should start one.
Well thanks for having me I look forward to conversations and learning!
