not as nice as i thought it would look, btw this car is on ebay...

bagwell

no thanks...not for me.

Looks great right off the assembly line...no mods needed.

Those wheels look like they're off a 10 years old MB.

Blueice

a C trying to look like a E.. kinda uh... not for me =P

tberry

agree not as nice as i thought as i was going to do the same thing......The Fabulous kit piece seems to be so much nicer (well better be for about $300).

I just dont understand why someone has to make their C32 look like this! The stock double spoke wheels look WAY better than the Monoblocks. And why does he tint 1/3 of his front windshield?

Oh well....personal preference!! :o

I'm curious if these are painted rings or if someone just masked off the plastic headlight cover and painted it. The "Fabulous" kit leaves the majority of the headlights untouched except for the center area between the parking light and the low/high beam section. The result of this guy's hack job makes the headlights look too small. I'd STILL like to see someone make a single plastice piece mounted between the light section similar to the "Fabulous" kit

bagwell

my thoughts exactly

CitronC230K_03

definately not for me!!!

Jim Banville

Okay guys. A few minutes with Paint program and this is what I'd like (my hack Paint job on left, stock headlight on right)...

I did NOT super-impose a different headlight over the stock one. I just drew some black lines to complete the curves of the two light "sections" of the stock headlight, and then drew in some color over the old lines where the hood and bumper met the stock headlight. I really think that someone with the skills to cutom fabricate plastic or fiberglass could make a small piece that would fit between the "sections" of the stock headlight. They could add a couple thin black stips on either side to mimic the black rubber surrounding the stock headlight. My next post will show a mock up of what I'm talking about.

Here you go...
It would cover the black trim where the headlight meet the hood and bumper.

If someone in the US sold a replacement front bumper that incorporated this piece (which would give it a cleaner look) and wasn't too expensive, I'd probably buy it

Jim...is that drawing accurate as shape goes?

i'm thinking about buying black vinyl sticker to make it. One of my frend made the eyebrow for his BImmer out of the vinyl sticker. It's pretty cool, and you can peel it off when you don't want them anymore.

Jim Banville

Unfortunately, no I just made it in my Paint program. I too have thought about using vinyl sticker material to see how it would look. I just haven't gotten around to picking any up. Plus the fact that I would prefer to get the pattern from the little chrome piece separating the light sections on the new HID headlights (see pic). Damn, I wish I had the skills and tools to fabricate plastic!

lolz

ic ic...anyway, i might ask my friend to help me do this vinyl sticker thing during the winter break. if i do, i'll take some pictures when i'm done.

hope

I like them both, even the pic VIKTORIOUS posted. I have the same rings on my C240 but in chrome. will post a pic soon.

tberry

Jim...or try to find someone who can speak/write/read Japanese and tried to contact Fabulous of Japan to see what kinda price they can give (group buy?).

Harris

I tried to send them an e-mail a few months ago and asked for availability (I am not buying for my car! I dont quite like that thing ). They replied saying they do not ship any of their products overseas. I might be going to Tokyo Auto Salon in January, let me ask them in person! Stay tuned!

E320

FrankW

steve s
