Enzo, my Benzo
Nice transformation! Do the CLS lip paint/exposed CF scheme for sure...all carbon lip is done to death now and do the underside of the rear spoiler black.

Your diffuser is good and you can always cut out the filled in area when you decide to do a quad setup (which looks amazing on W203s)

Enjoy!

Thanks bro! I really wanted to do the two-toned lip to be original, at least as far as w203s go. But the fitment of the lip to the bumper doesn't look as clean as the fitment of the CLS lip to the CLS bumper. Idk if it would look good with the sides painted white, I might have to do some photoshopping.

And yea, I really want to get a quad setup. Looks so much more aggressive

i'd love one of these lips for my coupe, but here there are so many obstructions in the roads called "speed bumps" that better resemble big kerbstones placed across the road, and poorly maintained roads with huge pot-holes in them, i'd be forever wrecking the dam thing !

I saw that phi, but I was looking to remove the wood pieces on the doors as well. I don't wanna have both wood and CF accents so I'm trying to figure out how to do all of them.

Shes looking really good G. I love my black 230, but sometimes I get a good look at a white one and I start to wonder if I should have gone that route.

Keep her clean

Thanks man, the tails look sooo much better in person. I think you'll be fine. It's such a small part of the tail light and I think they're just worried about the amount of light that emits through the tint. The reverse lights are still very bright.

Thanks Mike.

Lots of people have white on the forum... more than people have black. It's hard to be unique when everyone has a white one lol. Sorry to hear about your car though. I really can't wait to see those Forgestars on .

Same brand. My front bumper is a replica... which causes it to look a little off

Also took a video of a cold start and rev for mbjunkies... might as well put it here. Video is my macbook camera but audio is recorded by a pretty good mic. So use some good speakers or good headphones

i dont think they lined his headlights up during the install. he just has to loosen the 4 mounting bolts and readjust them probably.

I like the white roof lol I kept mine white to be a different from everyone doing the black roof, granted I do have a roof rack on mine hahaha.... GO LOWER!!! I want to see you scooping gravel with the cf lip
