My C300 Coupe Matte Selenite Grey Mods
So the mods have started to roll on in - and I'm pretty excited to share what I've done to make the C300 E1 look a bit more aggressive. This is the car from this thread: https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-c...-1-photos.html
So far what's been added are:
- W205 Black Painted Spoiler
- Chrome Quad-Exhausts from my W205 (they fit easily so why not!)
- C63 AMG S-style black rims 19" 225/40 R 19 rims at the front and 245/35 R 19 tyres on 8.5 J x 19” rims on rear - identical size to the stock 19's in terms of size/tires
- Mirror housings in Black Gloss
- Side skirt wrapped in Black Gloss
- Dropped the car 0.25" on the suspension so far (the ride's a bit stiff for me so didn't drop it anymore)
[Updated 08/15/16]
- New Steering Wheel Covers "S-Class Style" Stainless Steel
Upcoming:
- PP Performance tune from Autotalent
- Potential Exhaust change
- New steering wheel (from C63 AMGs with Red Trim), custom install with matching turquoise stitching inside, red center line
Hope you all like it! More photos on the way if people are interested.

Looks good. Do you have a picture of the back, interested in seeing the exhaust. I've got polar white with night package, thinking about painting the spoiler and side skirt inserts black to match night package.

It looks great!
Im getting the same car nex week.
I ordered a c63 rear difusor and exhaust tips to be instaled and side sills from mb catalogue
Also i bought and Armytrix exhaust so i will post some sound clips

Would like to put those same rims but they are quite expensive

I plan on wrapping the spoiler in black, as well as the remaining back end of the roof. Post pics if you decide to do it!

kowyzg0moo - the quad exhaust tips look really good.
_kkb_ - Yeah, i ordered this car at end of January when the dealer called me. I was up in the air about the night package, wasn't sure I would like it. I'm glad I ended up getting it though, I really like the way it looks with the white. I really don't get why the black spoiler wasn't part of the night package. I've thought about doing the roof also. Seems odd to me that they decided to make that body color.

Yes, I bought the tips when I had the W205, genuine MB (got it on parts discount through my friend). Did NOT have to replace the difuser. I actually did it myself - just propped the car up a bit on some jacks, unscrewed, popped in. no issues with fit what so ever

And DOPE! Please do post about the Exhaust!
Drop it - my mod shop guy, Anthony at ProMax did the work for me. I'm not sure of the specifics but it does give it a better looking ride (at the cost of comfort).

Thanks man. The quad exhausts add a much better look on the sports cars, differentiates them more from the stock C300 sedans/coupes with non-sports packages. Please post pics when you do!

Hi great mods and lovely Matt colour, Im also thinking off wrapping the side sills in gloss black.
Mine is polar white and I've added the black gloss mirrors and awaiting on a painted black rear spoiler...
Can i ask how do you go about removing them?
Are the side sills easy take off ?
Thanks

The mirrors just require a little bit of a pop. It's uncomfortable but I watched my guy who does mods just pop it open and we placed the ones we got through MB on there.

So it should be the same. They sit perfectly flush - not outside of the well, but literally flush which is cleaner than the OEM rims I had.

The tyres for the rear will be 100% correct.

I'm all about the white - but I just can't understand why mb wouldn't have blacked out the rest of the roof like prior models. Looks unfinished or an oversight. I guess one could have it wrapped in gloss black for a better flow.
