W204
My next mod has just arrived...

After contemplating over which type of front lip design to get for my W204, I've finally made up my mind to go again with PIECHA DESIGN since my previous experience with PIECHA, the QUADRO exhaust system, was great; after about two weeks waiting time, it arrived today:

The front lip is now in the shop for some carbon-fiber enhancement and I hope to get the final product installed soon; wish me luck!

Niceee! I think you're the first among the W204 forum to get the Piecha lip! I wish I could get that one too but sadly it costs a bit too much $$$ to get. Do tell how it turns out!

PIECHA QUADRO exhausts... Happy with the result so that kind of played a role in my decision making when I was evaluating on a new front lip

You don't have the ability to scan this into a cad program do you?

- I could potentially make a few of these at work (until i get caught or told otherwise)

Unfortunately it's still in the shop for carbon fiber treatment... Anxiously awaiting for it to be ready so I can finally slap it on~~

Who's gonna tell?? I'll *tweak* the design and it'll be original. Oh well, regardless, I'm excited for pics with it on. are you color matching or doing black?

Originally, I was gonna go with a silver carbon-fiber finish to get a slight contrast at the lower front bumper area. But then I was told such silver finish gets dirty and turns yellow easily thus, I gave up on that idea.

Then I decided to go with black (not matte-black) carbon-fiber finish as I have black carbon-fiber rear diffuser installed; it can be thought of as an colour scheme extension to the front, like several forum members have done to their white W204.

I hope this turns out OK. If not, I might just go with the simple colour matching scheme...

I guess this is a problem worthing having, ha!

W204
UPDATE: Just got front lip installed!!

Just got back from the shop, the lip has now been installed!

I took a few quick snaps with my iPhone:

- Before installation: Front lip with CF enhancement.
- Shots from the side to show how the lip blends in with the rest of the front bumper.

Personally, I'm really happy with the result as it adds a slight different touch to an already nice looking AMG sport front bumper. I will try to take more pics later on with a real camera.

I'm already planning on my next mod...

yeah that looks really sharp, you should take some more pics at a lower angle, I'd like to see how tall it is, or how much vertical 'meat' it adds to that center section.
