2012 C350 Coupe Black/Red
A great looking car...and the C Class is immensely seductive.
I'm another who's completely enthused about the red leather interior.
Congratulations and much enjoyment of your new ride.

hey you have 18" wheel package... can you confirm the tire size front and rear for the 4matic?

like 235/40/18, etc... its a staggered setup I believe..

Thanks man looks great with then plastidip. One area of the car I was not super fond of is the front (not aggressive enough compared to the C63) but plastidip makes it look much better.

I will do the grill and rear spoiler plastidip this weekend.
on that sport model the side mirrors are also black.
I am just afraid to take the car to the car wash and the plastidip falls off with the scrubbing. we will see.. will post pictures tomorrow when I am done doing it.. thanks..

just plastidipped the grill to look like the new grill from the sport package. it looks way better in my opinion and it should have been blacked out from factory. a few pictures with bad light.. I will get another one at day light tomorrow.. let me know what you guys think.
I thought about blacking out the rear spoiler but I didnt.. maybe I will try another day.

zomgg - so MUCH better!! Good choice to leave it that way like new grill vs doing anything else to it. It looks great!

I am glad your local.. I am not the artistic/craft type - if you can plastidip the grill for me I will bring the beer! My 13' will be here early July. We can compare the changes too and you can see the new Polar White.

Have you seen online, there is a glossy black plastidip that you add after it dries to what you have done. The lower portion should remain flat black (like C63) but I bet adding the glossy black to the grill would look really nice with the chrome front side.


Definitely if you can get some pics in the daytime with the camera you used for the original pics. That would be fantastic

Want to try something for me that might look good? :P I am thinking of painting the side mirror black with plastidip. I think it would look good to have some black ascents moving from the front of the car to the back. Carbon fiber is a bit too much but black might look awesome.

you could paint them black with plastidip...

or you can buy a 2nd set from dealer for $30 (total for both sides) and do whatever you like!

mirrors look good, I am not sure how it would look in person though. the car is very black/white with lots of contrast, I do like!

Until they have a C63 AMG coupe grill that fits and made for coupe, the grill slates black looks amazing, as does the lower front bumper.

You can get clear side markers on ebay and other sites... just don't think they are out yet for the coupe.
