Haha I'm sure the wheels aren't for everyone. They're Volk Racing G2's originally in matte black but I wanted something different so I had them refinished blaze red.

Front pretty much looks the same. Kept the Brabus lip as I had problems fitting the Racelook lip. I was in too much of a rush to get the car back from the bodyshop for a show so I couldn't get a good fit. I'll try again before winter hits if I take the Brabus lip off.
I also refinished the headlights in flat black. Wanted to get the same color scheme going.

It's nice to finally have fresh paint again with no rock chips. Hopefully the paint protection will help with the damage this time around.
I'll get a pic of the front soon!

I hear ya, Canadian winters have taken a toll on my car, its due for a repaint. How's the clear bra? I was thinking of getting it done, yet thought it might look awful with all the curves of our front bumper, and it might be cheaper just to repaint every few years.

Love the headlights! They remind me of... well my headlights except mine are gloss black.

infected

The clear bra is perfect. The guys really did a good job with it and I ended up having them custom wrap it (better coverage) than offer me the kit.

I'm really digging the headlights too. I probably would have left them alone if the car was black. Really gotta have some sort of contrast.
I wouldn't say they're the same... no cheapy halo's in mine.

pretty sick! paint the mirrors to match the wheels!

love the blue lugs too. are your calipers blue too?

infected

Thanks Phil.
Calipers are still stock. Was going to do the BBK this year after putting it off since last year but after all the body shop drama I am content with enjoying the car as it is for now (we'll see what happens over the winter).

Nah, colour matched headlights, black on black, are fantastic. Love the look of a blacked out Corvette, so mean!

I wish they were cheap, the super bright/white halos cost a small fortune.

I assume your car was rusted in the typical places, front/rear fenders, bottom of doors, under impact strips, ... if so, and if you want the car to last, I wouldn't winter drive it anymore. I had the rust fixed on my fenders twice only for it to come back sooner the next time. Unless you cut the metal out or replace the panel, and even then, it'll come back sooner the next time. I can already see the rust creeping around the inner edges of my rear fenders, and we hardly get any salt on the roads during Vancouver winters. I've yearly rust proofed it too with Crown.

i'm with phil on this one...

It looks good on the Abarth (hell, anything would! ) because that's a trait of all Abarths (the mirror caps in a contrasting color). I would think that it would look like trying too hard on infected's car.

I do really like how they look, btw. Wish I had gone with something more interesting like it when I had my stock C7s powdercoated for snow tire duty last year.

infected

I'm not too sure about color matching the mirrors. For some reason I don't think they'll look as god on the 203's just due to the way it is mounted onto the car. I feel like it won't flow...

Midnight Koop

ah i see what you're sayin... i think you're right

Just started a part out thread here:

Oh man. . .sad to see this coupe go What do you plan on getting into next?

infected

Not really sure yet. No real big plans at the moment, just want to revert the Coupe back to stock first so I have more room to move around when I do decide to take the next step.

2nice

looks great. might be the best C coupe i've seen thus far. more pics!

infected

Thanks buddy, unfortunately probably never going to be any more pics of the Coupe again. Time to say goodbye!

Midnight Koop

breaks my heart to see this one go... but please drop by and post updates with your next projects!

PM'ed you about parts... too bad in not a local Canadian to make shipment easier

infected

Been having fun trying to part out. Guess the market is gone for rare parts on these cars now. Thinking I may as well just drive it as it is until she dies.

Midnight Koop

looks so clean and mean.... glad you're keeping it.

those recent shots of the wheels look great.

can i get a link to where you got the decorative tow? i've been keeping the stock tow in my bumper to keep people from bumping my front when i parallel park... but it would be nice to switch it up

infected

The tow hook is just off ebay. I think I searched for "Mercedes Tow Hook" and they are available in red or silver (maybe black too).

CoupeCrazy03

Damn that thing is super clean! Needs moar lowz

amanonfire

Have you tried selling the entire car in Vancouver? I'd assume the market here would be better for this type of car than Alberta.
