Here is my build thread for my w204 c-class.

What i've done so far:
• Stance Rims 19x8.5 front / 19x9.5 rear / 45mm offset
• Hankook Ventus Tires 225/30/19 front / 265/30/19 rear
• H&R Sport Springs
• AMG Grill
• Mercedes Black Hood Emblem
• Mercedes Black Trunk Emblem
• Clear Turn Signal
• Dual Exhaust
• e63 AMG square exhaust tips
• Rear AMG Diffuser
• AMG Rear Wing
• gorilla black locking lug nuts
• Wrapped the roof in 3M gloss black vinyl
• Chrome Delete: wrapped all the chrome in 3M gloss black vinyl (top of door handles, window trim, lower front bumper, led light surround, grill, & chrome on the trunk lid)
• rolled the rear fenders (there was a very minor rubbing issue with passengers in the back)
• Front lip/spoiler in gloss black

What i'm doing next:
• paint the calipers red

THEN I'LL BE FINISHED! (i think)

Hope you enjoy. I had a tough time researching and looking through tons of pages to figure out what would work and what looked good. Thanks to everyone who has posted as inspiration for my ride! Once i've got everything completed i'll go and and take a proper photo shoot...

Nice! I'll be doing e63 tips as well.
Clean with a sweet scheme :P

Any close up of the handles wrapped? Does the wrap lay flat across the edge? (Don't want it peeling)

Also, which lip are you getting from maxton?

ps nice boxing gloves lol

mrplease

This is the lip I'm getting...



Here is a close up of the handle. I removed them to get a better wrap on it and I used a 3M adhesive for the corners so it won't pull up. It's a standard adhesive that you put on wraps. It won't ruin anything when you want to remove it.

the detail is insane! mad props!


I'm jealous of that clean plate number from OK. lol

Super clean bro! Been wanting to wrap my roof for a while but I'm not quite sure how to handle the antenna area yet. How did you work around that? Also love the door handles really clean!

Hey..... Nice Mods.. What kinda headlights do you have ? Are they Depo or do you have the OEM lighting Package..

Thanks

WhiteonBlack

if I were to guess they look oem. I have the depo headlights on my car if you want to see pics of it 👍🏾

mrplease

I just layed the whole piece of vinyl on and cut around it. I'll get a good pic of that area and show you. I have a print/sign/wrap company so it's easier said than done.

mrplease

I have the OEM HID lighting package.

And thanks!!!

Can I buy the vinyl from ya? Would also like to do the top as well, just hesitating due to the shark fin.

A piece of advice, dont get that front lip. I bought exactly the same frontlip but it wont fit properly. You'll have large gaps between the bumper and the front lip. Luckily I have sold mine for a good price after.

If you are looking for an frontlip seller based in europe for a normal amount of money I suggest looking up PR-tuning on ebay from Moscow.

I have bought their frontlip for the w204 and its fits 100%. I will do a review once I have installed it. They also reply quite fast on whatsapp. Attached are photos from the lip

mrplease

Well hopefully you just got a faulty lip from maxton, because I already ordered it. 😩 Anyway, if it doesn't fit hopefully I can get a refund... well I'll see I guess. Thanks for the advice though.

Jeff7

The lip they advertise with for the w204 is an universal lip. Definitely not specific made for the w204
Altho I think you can get a refund

mrplease

Just washed her up and pulled her into the garage! Hopefully I'll get my new exhaust tips in the mail and I can get them installed this week...

mrplease

I just got an email from maxton. They told me that all maxton design parts are made directly for each vehicle. They said they do not make universal parts. And that I will 100% have no fitment issues. He said if I'm unhappy with it he will gladly take a return.

Jeff7

Thats great to hear and I hope you'll get a good frontlip.

Attached is the one I have received
(not my car btw)

mrplease

i bet thats the one their selling! if so i see what you mean! i'll send that right back!!! thanks for all the info!!!

Jeff7

No problem, Goodluck

Not bad. The car is begging to be lowered more though.

mrplease

It has h&r sport springs. That's really as low as I wanna go. It was rubbing in the back to so I had to roll the fenders. I think with the offset of my wheels, it really limits how low I can go...

97 GSX 97

How you rub with that much gap is beyond me. I have a finger gap between tire and fender with zero rub. I could fist yours.

mrplease

Again it's the offset and the 265 tires. That's why it was rubbing. Plus I always have passengers in the back. I can only get 1 1/2 fingers in the rear. And that's after the rear fenders being rolled...

P.S. You must have tiny fists! ��

P.S.S. Your ride has always been one of my faves on this forum...

"You must have tiny fists!"


You guys better be careful. Sounds like you are about to be rear ended.

BobInDenver

Nice looking 204 ya got there. Tasteful mods brother.

I get how offset and tire size works. I just will never understand the need for 265’s on these cars. Maybe a C63 when you’re actually putting power down.
