2017 C300 Coupe - Polar White/Saddle Brown MBTex
This is how our cars should look from the factory....

Got my roof section wrapped in gloss black this morning and god has it transformed the entire car... This is how Mercedes should have shipped the car from the factory in my opinion. Looks much more sporty and makes it seem like it has a s lower stance.

Mods I've made so far:
  • Wrapped factory spoiler in matte black vinyl.
  • Debadged the C300 badge from the rear.
  • Roof panel gloss black wrap.

C250 with AMG bits n peices
looks great but when i spend ALOT on a car i get it delivered without ANY of the packaging removed to the valater and he does it all and my paint will be unlikely to have any problems, i also have that white if its the pearl one very sweet colour.

Downside is an £800 bill

Did you have that spoiler vinyl wrapped as it was on the car, or did they remove it? I may be having the same done, today, in semi-gloss black ... but I am very hesitant to have them remove the spoiler from the car.

I have wrapped similar spoilers on the same type of car without having to remove it. Not all shops are willing or able to do this though, depending on their level of skill/comfortableness.

Thank you for the heads up, I appreciate it. I am heading to a shop, in an hour, to have my windows done and I'll have them look at the car with me to give me their consensus on it. If they feel they have to remove it I'm not too sure that I want it done at this time. They are quoting me at $150.

No worries. If you needed a second opinion on anything or wanted to double check that the info the shop local to you is providing correct information, feel free to PM me on here and I'll try to help out.

I wrapped that spoiler myself in 3M matte black. I had to take it off the trunk though. Not too hard, just need a heat gun, some dental floss and a bit of patience. Probably takes about 10-15 minutes to slowly ease the spoiler off.

If you're handy at all, I'd highly recommend wrapping the spoiler yourself. It's about $30 for the wrap from Amazon and maybe an hour or two of actual time for wrapping it.

Just used some heat and floss last night to debadge my car! Doesn't sound too difficult. What color is your car and do you happen to have any pictures? I would love to see it.
