C55 ///AMG, 535xi
thanks guys!

phil, this is my second loaner, and its a 328xi coupe, fully loaded that is! lol

roland, I got this from cannonball55 the fitment is...good, not like perfect fitment, but it's close enough. I had put double sided vhb tape on it, but the sides "pop out" so I had the shop put 2 small rivets (that are painted black) bottom side, left, right, and centers. and the shop had put spoiler tape, heated up with a heatgun, and it sticks. he also clear coated the back of the diffuser so the tape can stay on it.

zeek, yeap, I got a wash! lol I just wanted it to be clean everytime I come home now, since I wont be driving that!

MB.Manhattan has one or two E550 with the AMG sports pkg as a loaner, but they are only for the maybach customers.
If they were gonna loan out 204's, at least be a 63

midterms are over, but I got 1 month left till my thesis final, so I'm busy doing that crap, Since I was laser cutting parts for my project, I figured to laser cut a custom plate frame!


















and I also updated my interior... let's refresh ourselves with the c coupe's interior...
