Okay, that's an argument against a drop

Thanks Josh. Ive always been a fan of your wide-bodied C63 with the ADV1 rims. Because of that I purchased a set from Miguel of ADV1, the 5.1 design in matte gun metal finish. Wheels were delivered to my bro-in-law in Vegas and he had it shipped to Manila. Unfortunately the wheels were held up at customs last December as the cargo company (ACE CARGO) declared abandonment because of a huge scam . https://mbworld.org/forums/images/sm...ss.gif:nix:BUT that is a different story, and im glad the TWS wheels i have on now is a good replacement.

I also have a black one and I am considering a vinyl wrap in white. Did you have that done over there? Can I ask approximate cost? Are you happy with it? The car looks great in the pictures!

Why don't you get some black lug bolts. That's a cheap way to add a lot of style to your wheel package.

Wow, the video is super cool. The car looks amazing. From a casual glance, can one tell that the car is wrapped?

I've seen many vinyl wrapped cars and many matte painted cars and if you are a petrol head who is into exterior mods, you'll see the difference between the two. But I would choose vinyl over matte paint any day just because vinyl is much easier to take care of.

It also depends on the shop, whether they wrap the door inner-parts or not. Usually this is where you can see if a car was wrapped.

$3900 is insane In Germany it costs 1500 EUR and in Poland $1000:

Great looking car! Love the wheels and the wrap. I wrapped my car myself because I am cheap lol $600 + my time. I noticed in your video it looks like they wrapped around the fogs before fully wrapping the front bumper. Is that the only spot they layered? I only used 1 piece per body part and I have had no problems around my fogs but I have had a little bit of lifting around the plastic mesh. Any imperfections in your wrap?

Great looking wheels. I just ordered a set of 19" TSW Nurburgring myself. How wide did you go with yours, and how is the quality and fitment?

I think those look great! It's funny to see how often members here suggest getting a drop...I feel like this car is already pretty low in stock form. But then again, I live in NYC where the roads are horrible...but it is always interested to look at the location of members who say "needs a drop" lol
