Bringing my thread back from the dead. Here are some pictures I took today after a complete in and out clean with polish, sealant, and wax. Smooth as butter! Picked up some dust etc. on the shiny bits, forgot to bring a clean towel with me as I was in a hurry. Anyways, enjoy! BTW, pics aren't anywhere near as good as the other pictures posted as I'm still learning how to use my DSLR properly haha...

Wow! I like, beautiful photo shoot my man. Your friend hooked you up, real professional & nice locations as well. I love the alley shots....& the wheels. Your shots came out nice as well, clean inside & out...engine (how did you get it that clean).

I would love to have the ornament on mine too, but the w204 just doesnt look as good as other benz with it. I guess the car is just too small or sporty for it, but thanks for uploading the pic, i have been waiting to see how it would look with that grill and the ornament. great clean mods dude!

Was just a bit strange to have the same badge within a few inches of each other. I tried the eBay AMG flat badge, but that didn't look good either. All comes down to personal taste

I am taking delivery of my Venaci Spirits next week. Basically the exact same wheel. I ordered a pretty aggressive offset too. +35 all around and 19x9 and 19x10. Curious what yours are. They seem very conservative. Look great though!

Front:
19x8.5 +43 235/35/19
Rear:
19x9.5 +50 265/30/19
lol it is a good design and I think it fits the car well. That is super agressive. I'm not sure how those rears will fit given that they have 15 less offset and are 1/2" wider. Then again, I've heard people run those kinds of offsets without any problems, but I'm almost sure you could have some rubbing issues. What tires are you going to run? My wheels pretty much sit flush with the fender and the tires are slightly stretched to prevent any rubbing. I'll try and grab some pics tonight.

Sorry to resurrect this thread but Illusive your car looks great with the lux grill and stand up star. Did you paint it yourself or have a bodyshop paint the grille? How much?
Overall a very nicely executed C!

Thanks! Hoping to get out for another photo shoot sometime soon when I get a chance. The grille I got it painted at a body shop. It cost me about $100. Installed it myself.
