It says on JL-motoring website that it fits the W204 C-class.
I don't think it will match the color of the calipers.
This is more of an anodonized red and the calipers are bloody red.

This is far more of a match to the callipers however still not quite there. I was considering doing this to my car and was nearly there but then I thought it's just too much Jap / Fast n Furious and not enough AMG.
Good luck

....reason Im doing this coz I will be painting my rims black with red calipers and red 6.3 badge on the side and will use the tow hook for looks once in awhile, not permanent.... Im gonna use G2 paint on my calipers maybe Il try to paint the tow hook with this also 
BTW...I guess this is the result of being bored of my car

My plans are....
1.Paint my rims black, Chromed black on the lip and rivets and flat black or gunmetal black on the face.
2.Paint the HRE center caps black since the logo is embossed you can still see its HREs coz the CF HRE caps are around $135each and the new black center caps are $90each.
3.Black lug bolts
4.Red G2 paint my calipers with BREMBO logo or AMG (still debating)
5.Paint my 6.3 badges on the side since my 6.3 at the trunk is red now.
6.Lastly maybe maybe put a red tow hook!!!
With these plan I guess my car can be a certified fast and furious so I can use a red tow hook !

Good luck man - photos with the red hood please!
I initially had my 6.3 badges black. Then reverted to red. Didn't like it. Then reverted to the color of the callipers (lime green). Didn't like that so went back to the original but put a CF background on the badge on the fenders as in my sig photo.

...I guess red badge for a silver car is kinda off but for black cars its nice to have a little red accent to it .heres the red badge rear trunk

There are multiple shades of gunmetal.
I have Gloss Charcoal Grey from HRE and love the color.
It's up to you if you want flat/matte or gloss centers now.
Where are you going to paint your wheels? HRE or local shop?

What tire and wheel specs are you running at the moment?
I would suggest you go with skinnier tires to expose the gloss black lips.
Otherwise the wheels might look smaller.
e.g. 235/35/19 on 8,5x19 and 255/30/19 on 9,5x19

Man, I completely mis-read. I thought you said you had a red hood and that kind of scared me. Yes, red badges on a black car look stunning. But it needs to be done professionally. You should look at the side badges as well. Not completely read but read on the 6 the . the 3 and the AMG but not on the background.
Badges look sweet!
