Looks good. Nice pictures. Have you thought about doing the side mirrors and the spoiler too?

Thanks! I have thought about those pieces, but as of now I'm on the fence.

The C450 has the side mirros in black so you can see those for a comparison. Also some people have the CF spoiler so this would give you an indication for how this looks...

Good luck and great project so far!

I like it! I'm having the winodw trim, front spoiler and mirrors wrapped in black but after seeing the trunk piece wrapped I might have to consider that as well. The only problem is that I'd then have to black out the MB emblem front and rear and I don't think I want to go that route. I just want to tone down the amount of chrome. I also don't want black wheels so it just wouldn't look right, IMO.

Everything else looks awesome!

I'd agree with you (| probably too much black, one or the other is best IMO, + you have that uniqueness to it (for now anyways).

Given up on a S205 and ordered a S212

I like it, except maybe too much black on the front - white wrapped star?

Wow that looks awesome. Did you do it yourself? If not, how much was it to get everything done? Also, how easy would it be to remove all that in the future?

I had a local shop do it. It will cost you around $500 for all the pieces. The removal is easy, you just have to peel it off.
