thanks for sharing the video, I saw this on eBay and email the seller because he only said it will fit the 2012 sedan with AMG sport package but I thought our coupe uses the same body kit??

2013 C350 Coupe
Hey andres, I was wondering how you painted your rims, did you use a powdercoat, spray paint them or what? I have the same ones and was thinking about getting them painted black, they look awesome.

Hey! I used plastidip for everything that is blacked out on my car. It is very easy to work with, and if you dont like it it is easy to remove. Thanks man!

2012 C350 Coupe
I just ordered one, a few questions about installation. Did you install it yourself? What type of bolts were used? Can you post pictures of where the lip is screwed in?

You can't really go wrong with anything from Brabus, only thing is like most of their body kit and other hardware it'll fit or suit the standard OEM body panels only not the AMG body kit optioned vehicles.
Still wish one of these tuning companies would make a simple cover for the centre part only not across the whole length of the lower front bar like all the ones we've seen so far.
Just my own personal opinion with those other lower trims shown on this thread the outer 'flaps' or corners look terrible ie. stick out too much, they don't seem to be aerodynamic so I wonder how they perform at high speed and if they catch onto anything like a steep driveway or bump it'll rip the whole front bar off the car

Obviously as many have done the easy solution is to paint that section up and there's several ways of going about it, but again just my own opinion if you adopt plasti dip the finished result is not to my liking even though it has the advantage of being easily reverted back to original, if you adopt proper vehicle duco the result will be perfect, but it's not as easily reversable back to stock again.
A high quality cover as is the case for the OEM C63 front bar is the answer and I've actually had a look at one and seen if it was at all possible to use but unfortunately no go, it has a different curvature, different sizing and different rake angle which will not suit at all the OEM AMG front bumper of the other C variants.
Apologies to others who like the lower lip provided on this thread for straying a little off topic, but hopefully we'll see more options in future for modification of this area on our vehicles

2012 C250CDI Coupe VP1 AMG pack
Good heads up ^^^^
Speaking of the part itself I like the centre bit of the trim as it provides a nice cover for that part of the front lower bar without having to paint it black to achieve that finish but not the outside edges of the trim, that part of it looks odd to me
Would be nice if someone made a cover trim only for the centre bit similar to the OEM AMG trim of the C63 variant

Let me know how you go with it in Brissy and if successful maybe they have a outlet down here in Melb.
O.T. when I get the chance I'll send you a PM of my latest mod with diffusor and exhaust set up on the CDI

You read my mind Fonz, that is exactly what I will do if a proper cover lip never comes along a vinyl wrap job will look 10x better than plasti dip and is just as easily reversable and should be less expensive than painting and alot more affordable than a proper cover lip too, problem is I've yet to find anyone here in Melbourne who has gloss black vinyl wrap only matt shades
