Plastidip goes about $6 per can. This is an easy DIY, just mask the surroundings off and everything, hit it with 4 coats of plasitdip, and take the paint off. Done.

You need some HIDs badly man!!! Good job tho looks good!!!

Roof was about $175, and do you mean what did I mod or what did I need to do it? I modded the center part beneath the lower middle grill and surrounding areas around the vents and DRLs. I used plastidip spray can, painters tape, and newspaper to mask it off.

Matt-erhorn

Lol yeah. But as I stated before its a short term lease and being my first car I don't want to blow a ton on it. But I agree HIDs would be nice and have been considered.

Matt-erhorn

Forgot to mention that I installed the AMG Door Pins when I did the plastidip around the vents. But for some odd reason the passenger side is almost twice as high as the drivers side when locked. Any advice?

brianfecollins

Try to switch them around.

Matt-erhorn

Thanks brian for the advice. I actually tried that and same thing. I'm not quite sure if something is wrong with the pins, the car, or me. I should mention that both have been tightened to their max.

Matt-erhorn

Well I got the white plastidip and shot my side markers in 4 coats each. It looks pretty good during the day and the best part is that you can still see the light at night for safety. So white during the day and frosted orange at night. Take a look and let me know your thoughts.

I love the clean side marker look!! I would be too **** that the plasti dip white didnt match the car white though. I would love to shave mine completely one day but until then I bought smoked ones. I have a silver car so it goes with my black/silver theme.

Matt-erhorn

I would love too shave them if I was keeping the car. But trust me I actually love the white matching and I know how you feel. I'm the 1/2% of people who cleans the exhaust tip at the end of the day and cleans all the storage compartments of any dust. I know **** like no one does(not in a perverted way). But either way thanks for the complement.

Well after a while without a mod, I decided to plastidip one of my spare grills with just the emblem in chrome. Here is my favorite pic that shows the grill but really shows off the plastidip on the side markers and how much cleaner it looks without the stupid orange.

Can I ask what colour white your car is ? it looks awesome , I have just ordered mine in Arctic White
C 250 2013

Matt-erhorn

Mine is Artic/Polar white

Matt-erhorn

Well it's time for more mods! YAY!

In this round, we have the (first as far as I'm aware) painted engine cover for a C250. Well plasti dip technically but anyways here are some pics of my engine cover now.

"Sideways" to see it straight down:

far from the first, been done by many.....looks good though

Matt-erhorn

Really I haven't seen any other C250's. Thought I mentioned that but forgot to. If there is any other C250's can u send me a link so I can get some ideas. I'm aware of all the C300/350's with them though. Thanks!

caligreenzzz

sorry but i dont run around takin pics of other peeps w204....

Matt-erhorn

Ok well sorry then...just meant like if you had another example you had found where you could easily share.

caligreenzzz

your in socal, not hard to find...

Matt-erhorn

I'm not saying it is. I'm simply saying that I've tried many times to find another 250 with a painted cover. I know plenty of 300/350 have them. Nut again that's why I said first AS FAR AS I KNOW. Sorry caps weren't meant as yelling more as to highlight what I said. Thanks for stopping by.

caligreenzzz

go to mira mesa..............................

Matt-erhorn

Where? I'm sorry I'm not familiar with that. I'm not looking to start anything and I'm sorry if it came off that way. I'm not heart broken if I'm not the first C250, it's cool but not heart breaking.

caligreenzzz

mira mesa, its in socal.....thought you where in San Diego, sorry for the confusion...Mira Mesa is known for its modded rides...

Matt-erhorn

Oh ok well I'm up in the OC. Good to know though and like I said I don't want you to think I'm getting upset or anything. I thought it would be cool to be the first for the 250's but if that's not the case then oh well.

Matt-erhorn

Well folks here is another update. Just washed and waxed as well as my latest mod. A C Coupe 2 bar grill that is OEM painted as part of the sports plus package. Thoughts?



Edit*: I'll try and get a better pic later since this was lighting.
