W204 C200 (AMG Sports package)
Hi from AbuDhabi

Hello,

Its been long since I started stalking Mbworld and finally decided to login,must say its an awesome world out here,looking forward to connect with all of you awesome merc people out there.

Personally own a W204 c200 with the Amg package, in love with the car from day one(There are a few upgrades that i would like to add though).

The car was stock till a year ago and finally decided to do some visual mods.
*Painted Front Grill Gloss Black and Vinyl Wrapped center part of front Bumper.
*Installed Black Rear Spoiler
*Gloss Black Rims
*Painted Brake Caliper to RED
*40 % Tint in Rear and 30% in Front.
*Came with stock halogens,upgraded to Azn optics park lamps and philips bulbs(5000K), planning to install AZN HID kit soon.

FUTURE MODS
*Install rear camera (Please Suggest which one to go for)
*AZN HID Kit

(Guys please suggest some mods if you think it would look cool)

Welcome. My favorite mods so far were the quad exhaust and the carbon fiber big fin rear diffuser.

Hi and welcome.

Actually I want to do exactly the same thing that you did with your front grille, bumper and LED strips - make them shiny black. It looks great on your red car. Mine is white and I am not sure how it will come out but I am conviced to try.

If you can post 1-2 more nice photos of the front of your car, I'd appreciate it. I was wondering how far they stick the vinyl on the bottom of the bumper. Are the silver LED strips also wrapped in vinyl or they are painted?

BTW: here is an idea, make your mirrors shiny black as well

Hey thanx a lot for the compliments, will post some good pictures very soon.The LED strips,grill have been painted and bottom part of the bumper have been vinyl wrapped.

I tried to do the mirrors but they said they cant remove it to paint and if i do the vinyl wrap it myt tear and come down

And i am sure the same mods will look good on a white car as wel

I recently removed the chrome stripes on the bottom of each side of the car, and if I were I I would do the same. It looks way better! And glad I did. I do not know why they added it to the sport trims; I can understand if I had a luxury trim.

The removal doesn't cost anything either if you do it yourself.

The colored part of the mirrors can be removed without any problems. I removed mine and exchanged them with black ones.

Do you mean the stripes around the LED daylights? If yes, how do you remove them?

No, the chrome strips on the sides of the car. Underneath each door.

Indeed, it looks much better without them.
