For those who requested some spoiler shots from the rear.
I really apologize for the quality of the pics, but I am a lousy photographer.
If there is a specific angle you want let me know, but it is quite hard to
get a good clear shot of it, as it is not really as flashy as you may think.
Seriously... How do I get the DRLs and the Cs to light up at the same time? I've spent AT LEAST 30 min trying to get it to work...
Car is probably off and that is why they are both on. I have mine on with SDS at all times when the engine is on with the DRL at 100% brightness during the day. I also have the switch programmed that when I go 1 click left from auto (parking light) instead of turning on parking light and turning off DRL, it leaves both on with the low beam off, but DRL is only at 35% brightness cause it blinds at night and matches the low beam brightness.
It allows me to drive around when the sun is setting with the mean look below and turn heads
Finally got down to posting some pictures.
I'm from Singapore but am currently hailing from Chengdu, China. Am doing some work here and decided to get myself a companion!
The car is in stock condition, nothing fancy, and had only one previous owner.
2011 Pre Facelift Model, P31, LSD, Carbon Fibre Trim, Leather Dash, 19", Bright Silver Metallic
Here's a few from the other day.
Wrapped the trim and installed CF spoiler/diffuser/side mirrors. Side skirts are in the mail. Hesitant to get a front lip while I'm still in Miami though, the streets are horrible. Going to wrap the side markers after seeing how much they stand out now.

I prefer it, but it just looks old in comparison.
PS get some center caps.
Thanks bro.
I think they took a big step back with the new design language. I hate the coupe. Too soft with no edges - everything's rounded. Too tall. Headlights are terrible. I don't like anything about it. And it's a huge car. No thanks.
The sedans look nice - honestly not that much different. Did lose some of the aggression and edge though, which can be good or bad depending on your taste.
PS I keep melting my center caps (the o-rings) because my brakes/wheels get too hot on track. So I actually can't run center caps. Looks more 'purposeful' to me without them anyway. Because it is.

I agree with all of that. Really I do. It just doesn't work for me, I don't want it, I don't like the way the C, now the E, and the S, all look the bloody same just pumped up more. I don't like the melted blob, or the size. I dont like how hard it is to tell them apart from the other, lesser models. And I sure as hell don't like the way they have polished out the AMG to within an inch of its life.
Then I park beside my buddys 205, and you would think they were 10 years apart and not 3. That kind of bugs me. Cos by any criteria Id rather have our car.
Never heard of the melting center caps. Unique in every way

nice meeting you dude. Even if you "hate" my car. lol.
couple pics I took of my huge, round, ugly car.
Ah dude, as soon as I wrote that I was thinking about your car and how much I like what you've done with it! Especially the carbon - LOVE it.
I was referring to the coupe by the way - you can't compare a coupe vs a sedan, totally different styling
Never thought to edit my post to reflect that, will do now. My bad bro.
GREAT pics too, thanks for posting.
(embarrassed.... I'll skulk away now....)
lol its all good man, i remember you saying that about the coupe and I was completely joking haha. i was hoping that smiley got that point across hahaha. Also it was before my first cup of coffee on a tueday morning so i was still not on my internet comedy game
I got a few other nice shots ill share once i finish them up.
may head out to track this weekend if my buddy gets his car back so ill let you know (yes i still want to go with you after all the insults hahahahah)
on another note looking at the two cars side by side MB really dropped the ball on the w205 rear fenders. if only they could have poked them out a little like on yours.

Ha it's all good, it was early for me too.
I'm down for the track this weekend, but not back from a business trip until Friday night after 6pm. PM or text me where you're thinking of going - I'm free all weekend as the wife unit is away. I could make it to Island Fri night, not Atco. And anywhere Sat or Sun.
My rear fenders were stretched and worked quite a bit, so don't go by that as representative. Believe me, they really dropped the ball on the W204 as well. Shame they didn't fix that on the W205 sedan, although the coupe has good flares on it. You'll see a lot of guys like Mort above (^) with HMS wide fenders.
100% agree with your guys' comments about the new generation. Everything you guys said is pretty much the same way I see them. Don't like the design much, but when parked next to them, our cars seem much older.
I've never heard of melting center caps hahah! The c63 looks good Blkrokt!
604, could you go directly behind the car and take a few shots at spoiler level from ranging distances? I know its a lot to ask sorry, no need to if you're busy. Thanks for the other pics!
