Yeah Shaun i put the new alloys on the C2 but im putting the old ones back on and these are going on the C if they will fit because they are 4x100/4x108 ET40 so about right for a C

I might have a problem with the alloys actually because the centre bore is 73 and i have spigot rings to make it 65 but what is it on a C? 56.6 i was told but im unsure

I may be able to help you out with a few bits mate (rear fogs for example)

Be prepared to keep respraying the V grille. I got fed up of having to keep doing that with my matt black one so splashed out on an Irmy one in the end

It's not actually that hard tbh, and I wouldn't recommend tinting yours when they're bolted to the car anyway!! Up to you though

Jack rear of the car up, remove 2 or 3 torx bolts. Slide skinny hands and wrists up behind arch liner , unplug the fogs, remove them, spray the lights with a few coats of tint spray, re fit. Job done
