I don't think you need that RED stipe above the license plate

And no red MB star either, just the lettering. Subtlety is the best, imho.

If you like red so much, you should've kept your tails red to match.

As with previous comments...no red star and no red stripe. Also, the C63 lettering seems off to me.

I'd only keep those during Chinese New Year.

Dai-Low, stop messing with the car and keep it the way it was.

Either the star or the letters red, not both. And the strip definitely has to be blacked out.

It really comes down to your taste - if you like it then there's no problem at all.

Personally I love the red calipers but I'm not really a fan of red badges. I think painted silver would look nice or no badges at all.

I think its too much red. The only red i would keep on the car would be the calipers. Other then that, its a great looking car.

Yup. Too much. Keep the calipers and ditch the rest. Unless, of course, you like it.

Looks good either way. No harm in being a bit different from everybody else.

Yeah, but going to dinner wearing your underwear on the outside is different, too. Different for different's sake isn't the goal, is it?

Well, if Simon had his car repainted in neon pink, then your analogy would perhaps be appropriate. All he's done is put a few colour accents on certain parts of the car, and he's done it symmetrically and the results do show that moderation was used. No one's right, and no one's wrong.

It's just down to personal preference.

A little red goes a long way and the only thing I would not do is the red piece over the back plate. Other than that I'm OK with the rest of it. The car looks very nice!
