[QUOTE=C300AWD;7752232]I made my base model sporty ☺️
Hi. how do you put the front lip from ninte for the base model c300 ? My mechanics said that the chrome trim on the bumper needs to be remove and if you remove it, how did you do it ?
Thank You.
Got my carbon fiber front lip from Nintestore. Unfortunately, you would have to remove the existing front lip from the car by force, and then drill this new front lip. Grills are vinyl wrapped. Attached a carbon fiber cover for side mirrors.
You have a 2016 correct? Did you install the grille yourself? I heard it's not easy, that you have to remove the bumper. Looks great. I'm planning on a grille change.
Thanks!

yeah 2016 should work on all models, except the luxury grille like “C300AWD” has. It’s relatively easy if u have the time and patience, a jack helps. I just paid some1 to do it tho. It does require the bumper to come off. And make sure u or the person doing it, lines up the gaps when reinstalling the bumpers, looks horrible with gaps lol. Ps makes the car look way better, not a fan of the single slat or the diamond grille that’s y I choose the pano. I also chose to kept the foam between the Frame and front bumper. Probably looks better without it but idk safety reasons? Good luck
Is anyone here able to show a profile view of the Ninte lip on the base model? I cant find pictures of it profile and no one seems to take pictures that way that i can find.
I mostly want to see it profile because i dont love how far most of them extend out from the bumper. Something like this would be awesome if it wasnt red and if it wasnt so expensive, haha

I know this is relatively old, but out of curiosity, how did you remove the existing small chrome lip since you mentioned removal by force? As crazy as it sounds, should I be considering a cutting wheel on my dremel?
Hello. I have the same model as you. I have a front lip but I cant install it due to the front chrome trim. How did you remove it? Any tips?
I hit a tire on the highway a couple of years back and it broke the front chrome trim which I had to replace. The trim is held in there good, but you can see by the picture there are tabs in the backside of the trim that slide into slots that have a catch to hold them in place. If can use a thin plastic trim tool to pry the two pieces apart. If you don't have trim tools, you could use a small flathead screwdriver (carefully if you want to save the pieces).
So which lip fits these model cars I have a 2017 non spot base c300?
eBay/Amazon search for the style u like (there’s a lot) but in the search make sure u type “non sport” I could post links to what u want but it might not be helpful depending where u live etc. I used the sport model lips so I don’t have to remove the center trim. As for install I use self tap screws as I will be removing the lip during the winter months.
Can you send the link to the lip you used to wear I don’t have to remove the center trim. At the moment I have a luxury style front lip from eBay as I’m watching other builds they used the same one and took the trip off

just stick it under everything with either the included tape or self tapping screws
And it fits exactly how you have yours?
This is my 2017 c300 base
yuuup same look as mine, comes in 3 pieces so if any of them break u can replace just that piece. U can get one that’s not carbon look for $20 less (black) up to u.
And this will bolt on exactly as you have it in your pics?
sorry double checked ignore that link. It will fit but not perfect and requires middle trim to be removed. Just stick with the original link and if u don’t like the carbon look repaint it.
