Looks much sleeker

Probably, but if I wanted the chrome back it’ll only take me two seconds and two fingernails to take off the vinyl.

You'll never want them back, especially as you de-bagged the boot. Paintwork is looking good.

It will probably just get a good machine polish a couple of times a year to be honest.

Have you removed the DPF? Good gains, this is now a facelift C350 CDI

Well clearly it has resolved the problem of it being vastly underpowered

I thought you couldn't remove the dpf under new mot rules ?

You can't, completely illegal

Apparently you cannot. I spoke to an MOT tester about this and he was unaware, but did ask how can you proof that something isn't there. Without a DPF do the emissions go up?

Dpf is still in place. The egr has been bypassed with the map though. It went into a limpy mode last night, but this morning was fine.

I am new to mods, so you can leave the EGR in place and just bypass via the ECU?

Uh oh !

Yeah, I don’t know which but it either stays open or closed.

Should leave the EGR as is, provided you keep it clean it will pose no problems

Front windows tinted yesterday by Herts Tints, amazing local company I’ve used for a few of my cars.
The rears were already limo, the fronts are 65% dark (yes I know the legal limit is 30%)

Looks nice buddy , but I would question your insurance cover if you have an accident that involved loss of visibility to the side ?
