PLEASE NO HATING!!!

Do you guys know where can I buy a red tow hook for our C63s? Been searching the net and I cant find one for the C63s. I just have a small project for my car Thanks.

MNL ICE

thanks much

MIKE ZELL

Fabulous looking c63 you have there!

farhadahmad

are u sure thats for benz? i seen it for BMWs

farhadahmad

Also u guys think that red will match the same red as are break caps? those who have amg dev. package. ?

olszowa12

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.

C-63AMG

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

i know what u mean. might look better on the coupe?

MNL ICE

I like that ....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

MNL ICE

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 !

C-63AMG

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.

MNL_ICE don't do black centers. Do gunmetal with chromed black lips.

Step lip wheels in black will look very small.


Good luck with the new mods

MNL ICE

Okidoki...will do Gunmetal centers with Chromed black lips

MNL ICE

Im guessing you meant trunk not hood?! I noticed your CF background few weeks ago and Im liking it...it suits your silver car very much ...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

MNL ICE

one stupid question: Is there different kinds of gunmetal color? is there a flat black gunmetal and a shinny black gunmetal

olszowa12

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?

Example:

C-63AMG

Quite possibly but I would think it would have to be black to get away with a red hook

MNL ICE

Oh my Lord!! that is pure sex.... just a local shop !

olszowa12

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

C-63AMG

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!

MNL ICE

hahaha...I changed my mind..its gonna be like yours...gloss charcoal grey gunmetal with chromed black lips coz i was debating before if its grey or black, i'll just do both.

im running 235/35/19 8.5 F and 275/35/19 9.0 R but I dont mind my rims will look smaller.
