Bad to be black?

I have been taking a look at a lot of C300's posted on this forum, and even at some meets that i have been to, getting ideas of more mods...

However, I feel as if having a black car it is so hard to notice a big diffrence besides wheels and suspension when you modify the exterior.

I was looking at cf lips/window visors/debage. Is what i had in mind, but sometimes i feel as if i had white or red it has more potential.

If your car is black & modded please inspire me. or give me diffrent ideas on what i can do to make a big notice.

...or i might just grow some and vinyl wrap my car a matte blue/teal

Well, there are plenty of black w204's that are amazing. Just don't do the mistake to put black wheels on it because you will ruin it.

Just look at sonosuke's car. https://mbworld.org/forums/5645033-post2907.html

Or ragulan89's: https://mbworld.org/forums/5660686-post2918.html

And there are tons of other ones that are amazing, like Normandie4life's black beauty and others..

In my opinion, no matter the color of the car, the first important thing is to find the wheels that make your color stand out. Black wheels on a black car just don't work, except for Normandie4life's car... he's the exception to the rule

Good luck with the mods!

I personally like black wheels. That is my next purchase. thinking about stance SC-6ix 19' since its my daily driver. But i will be painting them satin black. I am also interested in other mods i could do with my black car. already debagged the back, and plasti dipped the chrome around the windows and back, along with the all black amg style all black grille.
