The W207 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Convertible has a complete and comprehensive modification package from German tuner Piecha Design. The package includes body kit, an exhaust system that is an upgrade on the existing one as well as custom wheels.
The tuning firm combined the AMG aero kit which is the factory make kit with its own new parts to come out with an aggressive looking final product. There is the front spoiler lip, three-part boot lid lip and rear diffuser with integrated 4-pipe Quadro exhaust system which is part of the upgrade or additional to the AMG kit that the tuning firm has incorporated on the car. The quadro exhaust system is available for all engines powering the coupe and convertible models. There is the option available for Piecha on request to modify the standard, 2-pipe exhaust as well.

The 2012 C-Class model from Mercedes has made its official appearance recently and that too after having gone through a face lift. The car is all set to make its presence felt in the US car scene sometime next summer. The face lift includes LED lights and new creases to name a few. This would ensure the car design conforms with the Benz family of cars while the interior gets a redesigning too.
Some of the controls also have been given a metallic trim and there is a new gauge cluster and steering wheel that has been added to the interior modifications. There would be the Sport and the Luxury trim model of the car. A list of options would be available for the buyers to select from at the time of purchase. The C250 Sport and C300 4MATIC Sport models have brushed aluminum trim, while the C350 Sport gets Black Ash, and any of the Luxury models receive Burl Walnut wood.
The power trains of the car are what make the car hit the news headlines. There is a 15 percent improvement in fuel efficiency as per Mercedes themselves. The same has been achieved by installing a direct injection and a newer, greener 7-speed automatic gearbox. This option is however available on select models only.
