nice!

I don't know why, but I find that painting the bottom part of the bumper black makes the front much more aggresive.

Mr. Plastid Dip Man, could you try applying plasti dip to your side mirrors? It might look good to ahve the middle of the car, front, and back black. I like having contrast side mirrors but going Fiber Carbon makes that car a bit too tacky and ricy in my opinion.

the paint looks great!

Seem like white is the popular color!! Mine is the diamond white too.

Everyone's coupes look fantastic.

I was honestly somewhat skeptical on the coupes at first, but the pictures here all look gorgeous. Congratulations to everyone!

Furthermore, with all C Class sedans in the future coming from Alabama, the Coupe, which is said will continue to come from Bremen, will be an even easier choice for us inside Mercedes fans.

Beautiful cars!

I especially love the Mercedes-Benz rings on the HID light package "Intelligent Light System." Very slick.

Is this SL style grill? Did you get it off ebay, if so, what was the name of the vendor? Thanks man

You might want to consider the new C63 grille too.

wut do u think !?

I find that the grill is too black with the mercedes symbol blacked out.

Also, not a fan of the blue bulbs that you put in. Makes your car look like some 10 year old honda tuner car.

Is that plasti-dip?

ossyrise

yes.. just wanted to see how it looks

i dont like the blue bulbs either, its not as obvious in person.. however it looks much better at night compared to the yellow stock

I have been debating the same thing, but with just the star in silver, but everything else on the grill black. Did you remove the grill? I tried the other day, and couldnt get it and I'm afraid to break something!

Any other pictures from farther away possibly?

DinB

How are you applying plasti dip? Spray can or paintbrush?

I would leave the star chrome and everything else black the way you have it now.

If you put in an HID kit you will elimate the blue reflection in the housing and it will look better at night. Best of both worlds.

ossyrise

I wanted to change the grill so before i order one i decided to see if i could remove it first.. however i did remove the grill and unfortunately i did break small things inside.. but nothing major.. and after that i had the plasti dip so i just paint it to see how it turns out.





compare shot

ossyrise

it comes in both spray and can.. i used the spray of course since its not my sketch book
and the hid kit in halogen hosing reflects everywhere and blinds others

Track Time!

I took off my grille to plasti dip it as well. When taking off the chrome its almost impossible to not break some of the soft plastic clips on the opposite side. Putting the grille back in is also VERY difficult to do on your own because theres 3 spots where it hinges against the bumper assembly and engine bay.

Anyhow heres a picture of my car.



Not exactly a reference shot but something to compare to

Hmmmm.... I used plasti-dip on my Infiniti's, still have like 5 spray cans left lol. I may do my grille and bottom bumper piece this weekend. Looks good

Igor1080

Thanks. I had a few left over from my G as well lol. If you have any questions about how to take the grille apart lmk. It was a PITA.

johnny--2k

I may just tape everything off and spray it right on the car....all I want silver/chrome is the star, I want the chrome horizontal slats black as well...

I don't want to break anything!

ossyrise

If I had to do it again i would do it on the car..
Take some picture for us if possible

Igor1080

Whatever you do. DO NOT paint the grille without takin it out. If you get plasti dip in your radiator you'll be SOL. Unless you plan to thoroughly mask it off and cover every hole.

johnny--2k

I do plan to mask everything off, probably slide something behind the grill to keep it protected. I've used plastidip plenty in the past, so I'm familiar with it.

Can somebody from Canada post Red Interior?
My local dealer doesn't have one to show and cannot tell me if any difference betwen USA Red and Canadian Red. (I have seen the USA Red)
USA Red is called Red
Canadian is called Flamenco Red
Thanks
