Finally posting pics of my car in full. Sorry, there isnt a fancy backdrop. I was too lazy to drive it anywhere. Pictures are not the best quality either. I didnt bother messing with the camera settings.


Mod - the last 2 months

- New rims (thanks Blake)
- $400 detail (I know - expensive)
- Euroteck front lip

 

Last one:

 

thats a clean looking car!

 

Maybe its me..but in those pics from the front, doesn't appear that your lip is installed correctly. Is it me or is it tilting back toward the rear of the car...especially the part of the lip on the sides of the car. Mine doesn't sit like that.

 

looks nice and very clean....but $400
you could buy a buffer and wax for $100, then spend 2 hours and still have $300 in your pocket for your next mod.

 

actually it's not just you. i notice it too. the driver side is a bit off. i talked to neal from euro teck about this already but i was assured the mold on both sides is perfect. i took detailed pics to show it isnt. but really, it's not a big deal. it's on solid and cant really be seen unless you are up close.


good eye though.

 

i know! but i pamper her so much anyway so what the heck. i wont be doing it anymore. i have wax and all the products and i am not lazy but they did a really good job. in and out. all the swirl marks are gone!

 

Fresh And so Clean Clean

 

hahaha beatiful~ i saw you today or yesterday man i was like someone in Vancouver got the carbon lip! then i wasn't sure if what i saw was wrong, but now i know my eyes are still good

Where did you get your lip set up man? i am looking for a reasonable and reputable shop here. please PM me~

BTW, where did yo go for detailing? looks sweet~

 

Yes, I thought I noticed it as well but then it was so small that I dismissed it. Apparently I'm still as deail oriented as I used to be.

The car looks beautiful. That $400 CAD? Still a very expensive detail job nonetheless. It's okay, I've seen $5k USD detail jobs, then again, on much more expensive cars.

I think your Eurotek spoiler looks very good and matches very well with the rest of the car. In the picture it seems to match very well with the grills in the AMG bumper.

In your third picture, the 3/4 view from the front of the car, the car looks very low in the front (due to the carbon fiber lip) yet higher in the back on the side skirts (since these areas don't have a lip). I'm wondering, do they have a lip for the side skirts? Then again, that may be overkill.

Beautiful, a properly modded car. Not overdone.

 

hey.

where did you see my car?

i put the lip on myself with the help of a few friends. as for a good shop in town, i have looked everywhere!!! the only real MB shop is on West 4th but they over charge and are not as good as they claim, i got ripped off on my bix setup. richmond has a lot of shops that are cheap but they dont exactly specialize in MB.

 

oh, the deatiling was done at Pearls Auto Spa in the west side. my car was by far the cheapest vehical there. LOL. my boss brings his 911 there and he recommended me. i trusted them and they did a fantastic job.

 

thanks Patrick!
yep, $400 CDN. it is a lot and i will likely never do it again but it had to be done and i feel better about the car now so it's all good.

as for euro teck, they do not make for the sides or the rear. it would be cool to see what it would look like tho but it would be overkill.

 

clean ad awesome car, where did you get the front grill from? is that the exact same thing as the one on ebay with the picture of a black c class?

 

@redfw203 - thanks!
yep. i got it off ebay - the guy was local. and i did give him a pic of it after i had it installed so it might be my car on there (if we are talking about the same grille).

 

Car lo0ks great!!, especially with that lip

 

Congrats again, car looks excellent. How are you fairing with the lip? Whenever I go in and out of driveways, I have to come in from the side and be extremely careful; and I don't have a lip. Are you fairing alright?

If I were to ever mod my car, I'd stop right about where you're at right now. I think it's just right (like what Goldilocks would say).

 

hey patrick,

the lip is doing well. i havent gone in and out of any steep driveways yet...tomorrow will be the first day. the parking lot i park at for work has a bit of a dip so i will have to be very carefull. fingers crossed.

as for mods - i want euro strips and i plan on getting those soon and next year if i have the money i would like to install a navi but that would be the end of it. i was going to do some engine work buut it really isnt worth it. better of saving up for a c55 for my next car. thanks for the comments.

 

Nice and clean

 

If you can live with the styling, I also recommend that you consider the BMW M3 SMG version. They say that if you manipulate the gas pedal somehow, you can mitigate the weird shifts that throw your head around.

I wouldn't do the Eurostrips either, wouldn't that require changing the entire front bumper? How do you pop out the impact strips anyways? I've damaged one, do I need to take off the entire bumper?

I'm gonna cross my fingers for you as well for your parking dilemma.

 

patrick,

nope, euro strips are easy to install. you do not need to remove the bumper for that or the side markers. it's really easy to pop out. a little too easy if you ask me. just get a flat head and wrap a cloth around it and dig in and pop out. less than 1 min. the euro strips are a bit harder - but not much. take off the side markers, unplug the bumb then proceed to pop the entire strip off. if i can do it anyone can.

 

btw - i dont know if i can get myself to get a bmw - styling aside, they're just way too common here. esp. M3's! every teen drug dealing gangster has one here.

 

the car looks great!!! is that a real expression grille or a replica?

 

white_w203,

thanks! it's real

 

very clean. but damnnn 400 for a detail job??? you must love your car a lot. did they detail the interior as well as the exterior?
