I'm sorry Advans, but what was "wrapped"?
I have a black coupe... I am thinking of putting a new badge across the back window (larger than oem MB star) and badging of c230 kompressor along the window as well. Though I may leave off the kompressor part.
Also plan on totally blacking out top part of the 05 tails. I think this is in tribute to what the new coupe CLC redesign tried to do. I am concerned for that new coupe, though, because that window in the back is totally missing now and people will not be able to see as well as we can with our older coupes.
Somehow I like your wheels but the red is a bit much for me, too. I like them, but not sure what they do for the overall look of the car. Other than that, you have the best coupe I've seen. Thanks for all your posts.

I'm guessing you need a giant size sheet of vinyl to make the 19" diameter round cut and then measure the lip size and cut away the inner. when you put it on because vinyl is stretchable you tape the lip and pull and push down the vinyl onto the lip.
OR gary fooled us all by keeping his original attempt and just took a long strip of vinyl and did the flat part and we are looking at two connected vinyl strip.
