Well I bought my C63 about 4 months ago. It was a great looking car but not how I wanted it to look so I set about modding. I like to do all my own mods as I feel there is a lot more satisfaction that way.
We can all take a car to a body shop and have them carry out our requests but where's the fun in that
So the car was totally stock when I bought it and if I'm honest I absolutely hate chrome and shiny bits on a car.
So here is a list of what I have done to the car:
Initially wrapped the window trim Matt black but decided to spray them Gloss black instead.
Painted front and rear calipers red.
Ordered some vinyl and made and fitted my own 507 stripes.
Painted the rims of my alloy wheels Matt black.
Painted my rear badges gloss black.
Wrapped my front grill chrome bits Matt black
Wrapped my Drls and front splitter in carbon wrap
Now the bit I couldn't do myself.... Had my mirror covers and rear diffuser carbon dipped.
Now I know there are plenty of people that won't like what I've done but I didn't do it to for them. I have personalised the car to how I want it to look. Oh and it's not about the money but all of this was achieved by spending less than $200, the majority of that on the carbon dipping.
Two photos of the car before I bought it and the rest after my modding.

Ur diffuser CF pattern goes to the right as opposed to ur mirrors which goes straight up pattern. Or maybe it's the picture.
Aah I see what you mean. Well I had never even noticed that until you mentioned it. Maybe they could have done it at more of a angle on the mirrors but I'm not going to lose any sleep over it
