Carbon Fiber parts coming soon !!

whats up guys?
i was starting to get annoyed with the lack of aftermarket parts for the 204 so i emailed the guys that sell the carbon fiber front lip for the w203's.
I asked them if theres a carbon fiber front lip in the works for the c 300/350 sport models.

he replied to me saying this!

Hello Dray,

We have all this stuff in the works. We are going to have an exciting
line up of parts for the new W204 C-Class Sport models.

Whats in the works is

carbon front lip
carbon diffuser
carbon rear deckilid spoiler
carbon roof wing
carbon mirrors
and possibly a carbon hood.

This stuff should be ready in about 2 months time.

Thanks
Neal


I am definately getting the Carbon fiber front lip and rear difuser. it will look awesome since my car is white. the contrast will look really cool. like on the clk63 black series cars

Hood?

Wonder how much that hood will cost, but that may be the best yet. CF on a black, or maybe even white for contrast, may look good. More importantly, figure you might save 50# or more on that? delete the spare tire, jack, and some other minor stuff and maybe get close to a 100# savings total. Now, where to ditch another 300# and make this car do something!

Ditch it all

Ditch the spare tire, jack, and some other minor stuff???

Yeah, I agree it ain't for everyone, but it saves weight. And the common formula is every 100 pounds=10hp using 3000 car as a reference. I don't quite believe that, since the c3004matic would then equate to an approx 150hp car, and it seems to drive better than that, but you get the idea.

Certainly ditching the spare and jack isn't for those who live outside metro areas, or even for those who's metro area is small, but for me, I live in North Jersey, which means from Northern Virginia to Boston is basically one big urban center, expecially Jersey. We are the most densely populated state in the union. If I'm in an area where a gas station or similar ain't within 10 miles, then I'm in the sticks. Your mileage may vary.

If you're nervous, get run flat tires. That and the tire pressure monitoring system should give you notice of any problems and allow you to get to safety.

Run flats have their own set of problems. Probably not a good solution.

My personal opinion about leaving out spare tires, bumper jacks etc., on a $40K car to pick up a few horses under the hood, is that its a bit too far out there to be worth while. We're not talking about a space shuttle where every pound counts. We're talking about extremely good transportation that if you go to get in and find that you have a flat tire, you can replace it with the spare in 30 minutes and be on your way......as opposed to spending the afternoon having someone else drive you around with your flat in their trunk trying to get a replacement. Each to their own.

I hope the hood looks like the AMG hoods. I saw a picture of the C63? and the hood was wicked. Amazing was a couple subtle lines in just the right place can do.

Just an update for those of you waiting....

The rear spoiler, roof spoiler and mirrors should be done sometime
early/mid August.

The front lip will be around the end of August and
the rear diffuser will be a little more delayed after that.

They extended the due date ANOTHER month? The lip is pretty much the only piece I'm waiting for. Other than the CF hood, maaaaaaybe? Probably too expensive and cheesy to be practical, but...

Thanks for the info.

Why not make one from cardboard and painted it black? Engineers can make anything, right? We'll tape it on our cars and pretend that it's CF. Elite. Nobody will know.

I can't wait to see pics of the CF front lip. I wonder if it'd look similar to or different from the W203 lip. Probably the same...

yeah, I'm guessing very similar to the w203 one, which is fine. I liked the w203 front lip euroteck put out.
