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?

Illuminated stars go for around $50 on Amazon/eBay. Check for reviews.

So cute!

Looks like you have projector headlamps too! Are those factory ILS or aftermarket?

They are projector! I believe they are stock. It’s the premier model with AMG rims. The car was single owner and it was a leased vehicle so you know it was taken care of well

Congrats!!

I would change the mirrors to the new facelift style (2012+) and would swap the grille for the black one and then add the illuminated star you want. The black grille would go so much better with the red and the black mesh in the lower part of the bumper.

Enjoy!!

Single owner with a 9-year lease?

obviously the lease wasn’t 9 years they must have owned it after that but that’s what the car fax said it had it as a lease and said single owner

I am at the other end....Orange County, You have some GREAT roads to drive that on


Go take some shots with San Fran in background at the park on the north side of the Golden Gate. Those would be killer with that red car and the bridge in the background

From having own one of these world class vehicles I know for a fact that
they are highly Designed with Nerves (Sensors) and computerized from
air, fuel, electrical etc....When they put out Error Codes....
they must be remedied with full attentions. I must admit that I just
bought my own Scanner from Amazon few days ago, less than $70.00
