You're a rock star. That literally may have tipped the scale for me. There is a lot I love about the facelift, and a few things I don't. That just fixed one of them. And its pretty simple and obvious really, I just needed to really look at it and then I realized how little of that is light, and how much of it is just a 'bright work' surround.

Appreciate the help. Going to look at a 2012 sedan today in Magnetite and only about 10000 miles. Another thing I am not a fan of is the 19" multispokes (I have the 18" 5-stars currently), but theres ways around that too. As you've shown oh so very well.

Thanks again!

BTW if I pull the trigger on this, it will be my third C63! I wonder what the record is.......

^_^, np at all, glad I could help out! GL on the scouting and hopefully everything looks good for another C63 hehe. That is a really good question though, I would guess the most someone / non vendor owned would be around maybe 5-7. That would make a great thread, seeing how ones personal taste changed throughout their C63 ownage.

Thank you very much and I agree about the multispoke, the 5 stars were tolerable but good thing there are so many choices of aftermarket wheels . Best of luck and I look forward to seeing that thread on the next C63 .

Thank you very much . The front lip is Mode Carbon Luftstrom, the drl I ordered from OEDiscountParts (I have ordered tons of stuff from them).

Thank you! That is exactly what I was going for, just adding little subtle bits. Make all the mods look like it came like that from factory but give you the feeling that it is still slightly different/modded.

Part #s should work with any MB parts seller. Try taking the A off the front and just run the numbers.

Thank you! It's actually a replica I got from CNAutoFans.com. The quality/fitment is extremely good and can't beat the price, highly recommend.

Thank you ! It replaces the whole chrome piece/surrounding Armo, just has tabs and you take a trim tool and just pop them out pretty much -

Tastefully modified. Very nice car. I agree with you about leaving the window trims in factory finish.

Would you mind leeting me know where you bought the black 507 DRL trim?

Thanks.

Thank you! Yea, I have seen my color C63 with the blacked out trim, I just don't think it goes well, changes the whole look.

OEDiscountParts is where I get 99% of the items. Quick shipping, super low cost, reliable.
