jo17jc230's W204

Well its official, traded in my CL203 coupe for a C300 sport in steel grey on friday night. I used to be active on the W203 threads here, look forward to contributing to the W204 from now on.

First mod officially done, clear bra by Spal Shield.

More pics to come soon

Did you do the clear bra yourself? How much did the material cost? Had you done it before?

Beautiful car!!!!

So sad, but at the same time so happy for you (no more issues with the m271).

So, I gotta know, which kit is going on soon? Might as well stick with what made the coupe so popular (i.e. Brabus)...although, I have to say, the Carlsson kit looks pretty darn good as well.

Anyhow, looking forward to seeing whatever goes on the new ride!

From pics I actually like the Carlsson kit more then the Brabus... as for wheels, leaning towards BBS this time.

Both kits enhance the car so much. Tough choice, but Carlsson kit would be a if you end up going that route. Either way, you're gonna be in the quad fog club!

LM's?

I can't recommend any place in Miami area but contact Spal Shield, they may be able to recommend a good installer in that area.

A great installation job!

How long do the clear bras last (yellowing etc.)?

Jonji, did you part out the coupe or just trade in as is?

If installed correctly they should last awhile... typically most places will give you a 5 year limited warranty. And yellowing is no longer a problem like it was in the past. 3M film has a UV protectant layer. Not sure about other brands.

Parted out. Took everything off before I traded in the car.
