Anybody Try to duplicate Brabus Bullit Tail Light Trims Yet? After 2 years I still haven't seen a C300 or c350 with them yet...

I was thinking of buying these and painting them black:

To Look Like These on the Bullit:

I searched and could not find anybody that did this yet, but i know we have talked about it before...

Do you think it would look good with only a white trunk spoiler or would i need to go black with the spoiler to for it to work like the bullit?

I did that mod ages ago. This version has CF on the two strips, that is gone as the CF I used didn't work well in the weather. Now they are all 040 black.

I entertained this exact idea a few weeks ago and I've had some luck painting over chrome.

What's holding me back is:

Laziness and the fact that the "vents" on the frames are plugged, which defeats the purpose of the car's rear headlights having it's special mpg vents!

I did this mod about a year ago.. I got the idea from Ron.. Check out my photo album, ignore the chrome door pillars.. Recently took them off

Mine are not plugged, could be a different version of the trim. Make sure you sand all the chrome off before priming and painting, paint does not adhere well to chrome.

I was thinking of doing that over the summer thinking that since IMO the c class resembles the S class in some ways, but then I saw the new S class it didnt have those bars.

MNL_ICE did his like a year ago on his C63. Looked really good.

TuneTime

Yep..... Looks good.... We did it here as well.... We did the front ones too... And the Grill and the Trim...

dang thats right i remember seeing that on darth, my bad...

i guess i have never seen it on a white w204, which is why i ask, other than the brabus bullit

Looks like Brabus used paint on the lenses and possibly from the inside.

Has anybody done this without painting it black? I'd like to see a chrome set on a black C300. The as much black as you can get look doesn't appeal to me.

Azn_C300

yeah, there was some guy a while back that chrome trimmed out his 204. He had a white one and did the headlights, tail lights, mirrors, pillars etc.

ya i saw that one, i am talking about a white one that painted the tail trims black?

Ron Jr

I had them on in chrome when I first bought them. This is the only pic I have and it is only part of it.

Richard2011

Just seeing the corner, I like them already. Never seen a DIY for these, or even heard of them until now.

If your car has headlights on the back end, I wonder if your seats are installed backwards. This would make it a rear engine car.

LOL

I blame it on late night mbworld posting.

I searched lots of combinations. tail light trim, chrome trim, light trim, and chrome light. No pictures of it actually chrome. All painted black.

I was thinking about the C63 style grill and the headlight and tail light trim, but that'd probably be too much chrome, maybe.

Ron Jr

Found this for you (search chrome trim).

Spec_Davis

So many black W204s in the tri-state area . . I should have went with steel grey
