4MaticCoupe

As mentioned above, saw both a C350C4 and an E350 cab with the red interior yesterday no more than 15 feet apart. Both hues looked the same. Can't trust what you see in the pictures/online/brochures, which is why I needed to make the trip as no one locally has anything with the red interior.

I guess here in sunny Florida people have a wilder eye when it comes to interior/exterior color combos.

I traded a Mustang GT with red interior and black exterior when I bought my C350. I really liked the red, but had to go with something different in this car.

As far as the plasti-dip glossifier goes - you can find it on Amazon (that's where I ordered it from, pretty sure they deliver to Canada). I don't know of anyone that sells it in store...

Here is the link for glossifier:

EDIT: It appears they are currently out of stock for the glossifier, I looked back and noticed that the company I bought it from on Amazon also has their own site (they still have it, and its the same discounted price of $10:

Additionally, Plasti-Dip also created tint for lens spray:

As like all Plasti-Dip products, the film it creates is easily removable from most surfaces.

Here's my 2012 arctic white c350 with 18'' AMG rims, COMAND nav...and my DD on the background a 2008 B7 A4. The MB is amazing, enjoying it so far.

cavasotti

it is a great car. I just dont understand how MB dont put HID lights standard. it bothers me so much.

fammd

I agree completely. This one has standard halogens I think. They didn't have one with HIDs and I didn't want to wait for one. I usually drive the car during the day anyway. My Audi does have HIDs and they're great whenever I get to use them. It really lights up the road.

cavasotti

sure.. I just think halogen lights are cheap and the MB are not cheap cars. they have that amazing interior and then a cheap headlight. it just doesnt match the quality and luxury of the car. Some people dont bother and as you said, you only drive it during the day, so it makes no difference to you. But it still makes no sense to me.

sdhlaw

Yeah, standard HIDs was on of the reasons why I was leaning towards a BMW 335 but, I had enough time left to order the lighting package. Having had no HIDs on my last 350, now they are a must have. I couldn't see anything with the halogens.

fammd

I agree with not seeing much with the halogens. I took the adaptive xenon HIDs on my A4 for granted, now I do think they are quite useful, safety wise.

GuOD

I think regular lights are fine for funtion... but I went for upgraded lights simply because they look cooler when you're looking at the car! LOL

finally some sun, now I just need to stop taking pics using a phone

Beautiful car! I like that color. Steel gray, right? The dealer I went to just didn't have it, but I'm pretty happy with the arctic white. I just have to clean it more often. Gray just doesn't show the dirt easily.

GuOD

Thanks!

It is palladium silver. Easy to keep looking clean

steel gray = tenorite gray = much darker with a hint of blue

cavasotti

Agree with the Xenon looking cool. nice painting! i didnt know a lease car could be painted, or yours is not leased?! I plastidip mine looks just like yours but not as glossy.. this is how the car should have came from factory. nice car! i like those wheels as well.. next thing I will do is to black out my wheels. leaving just the star and outer ring polished. we see how it will look..

GuOD

Not leased, so I can do whatever. I considered wraps etc, but I knew I'd like it so I just went for paint

cavasotti

cool.. yes that would be the way to go.. nice job. you did it yourself?

GuOD

nope, I certainly don't have the skill to do it. I had it done by the dealers autobody shop both grill and lip... sidemarkers too actually

cavasotti

cool! how much they charged u if u dont mind telling us

GSX-R_Squared

Wow. paint matched markers look great. I think thats next to do.

Finally got pics of the tint i did.

I went 5% all around and 50% for the windshield. Enjoy!

Going to address the wheels soon. Thinking some black series style wheels.

fammd

amazing car...

Jav_A

New pics of my diamond white. 35% tint on the sides and 20% on the rear. Also decided to get my calipers done red...now just gotta get rid of those ugly sidemarkers!

GuOD

Looks great. I considered painting my calipers...but not sure if I want to draw attention to them

Did you paint rear too or just the front?

nlpamg

lol, exactly.

I haven't taken any good pics of my coupe, but here are a couple iPhone snaps:





I had the bodyshop fill in the holes from the front plate (that were put on in Germany) and paint the sidemarkers.

Jav_A

Did front and rear to get a balanced look..but ye the rears are not very flattering..

Always wanted to hav red calipers on a white car and my first car ended up being a C Coupe so after much thought I pulled the trigger. Black rims coming soon.

yukikaze203

^looks good! i'm too poor to buy new rims QQ
Just gunna plastidip my current rims black. The 18" 5 spoke AMG rims (nlpamg's if you're not sure what i'm talking about) aren't half bad haha :p
