Stormtrooper Photoshoot 2014 C63
It's been a crazy few weeks with the 14 c63. Had it shipped here from Florida, and it looked like this the day I got it:

Fast forward a few weeks: Clay barred the car twice, added tons of carbon fiber, plastidipped the wheels black, and painted the calipers white. Also added an custom AMG euro plate since the car already had holes in the front bumper from the previous owner having a euro plate on it. Those couple of mods completely transformed the look of the car, and I'm pretty much done with the exterior. Still going to dip the emblems matte black but that's just some little stuff I have to do.
Enjoy!

C63 AMG, P30
Looks so good man. Love the transformation.
I may steal your white caliper idea... I'm going to be doing the G2 kit in either white or red. Completely torn between the two now that I've seen your car.

I'm really digging the white calipers. The look of course is much better with the black wheels. Would not look as good had you not plastidipped them. Well on your way. What about the brake dust? OEM pads or aftermarket?
What about doing the front grill diamond in white as well?

Your car looks great, and is pretty close to what I had imagined for my own future C63. I have been searching for pictures of a white car with the entire grill black except the MB emblem but was unable to find any, and I have to say it looks great on your car and is something I would consider for my own car.
This is probably common knowledge here, but I have been unable to find a source for the painted reflectors on the front bumper. I have seen the clear ones, but I prefer the paint matched like I have on my two current cars (ordered from IND but they do not sell C63 reflectors). Please share a link for where you purchased them if you don't mind!

I guess I will plan on purchasing some more vinyl depending on which color I end up with. I already have a ton of the 3m dinoc gloss black which I have used on previous black cars, but I was thinking either white or silver for my future c63.

Thank you for the reply! I am very surprised to hear that there is not a vendor for painted trim pieces. The vendor I have bought my painted reflectors for my bmws from, IND distribution, sells the painted reflectors for $85/set, and also sells all the trim pieces such as grills, side vents, badges/emblems, etc for similar pricing. These are must have mods imo as I like very little chrome on my cars, and it is nice to have a vendor that sells quality parts with oem finish. Judging by how many sets they sell on the BMW boards alone I would assume they make a pretty nice profit for the little work involved in painting a small trim piece. Can't believe there is no one doing the same in the MB crowd!
