Minor DIY aesthetic upgrades for C63 and C63BS

Just bought a roll of oracle red sticker and done some minor detailing to enhance the looks of the car.
Yay or nay

Was contemplating going for black on the iridium silver instead of red though.
Feels a little...
Weird but matching with the calipers

Was thinking of enhancing the shape by creating a contrast in Color which outlines the curves and sharpness on the Black Series.
There are some pretty nicely done up C63 aesthetically in Singapore, can Google 'iron man c63 black series Singapore'(not my cup of tea though'
Did the side fender shape on my C63 sedan in red and actually finds it rather....
Odd.
Maybe should have went with black instead ...

I like the red accents. But not on the spoiler (do not like the spoiler itself) or diffuser. Everywhere else, it adds a nice touch.

I think it's a fun temporary thing. Looks solid. You can always remove it if you get sick of it. I've been thinking of doing some similar accents

Not my thing personally, but at least you've executed it nicely with a clean install. Certainly good work in that respect. As long as you're happy, that's the important thing.

Actually the idea came from the AMG Edition 1 series and for the sedan fender bracket i saw some for sale in carbon fiber at 400 usd but not really keen in having it protruding outwards.

Am contemplating to remove the C63 and the AMG badge and just replace it with sticker without the popping effect..

Very popular with JDM cars nowadays. Subtlety is key. This black series seems to be overdone.

Don't Toyota Corollas cost $50k or more in Singapore? I was there a few years ago and my local friends were telling me about the ridiculously high taxes. A C63 black should cost 3x of what it sells for in the US?

I would say go with black. The red goes well on the front lip, mirrors, sides of the spoiler but it's too much right now. Great install/application though .

A C63 Sedan goes for 300k usd and a Black Series goes for 400k usd..

Doing the "Edition 1" mirror caps are more than enough.

Everything else is too much. If you want more "red", you can install some "F-1 style brake lights" inside the diffuser center section.

i think the mirror caps, front bumper, and the sides of the wing would be enough, the rest feels over done but it looks like you did a good job applying it so if you are happy that is all that matters

I'm actually trying to make it look like my previous car...









Guess the c63 lines aren't as refined as a 700...

I do agree with Kriston. Too much going on. Plus you have silver wheels.
I would do it simple like emblems not whole stripes on the car. But to each their own. It is your car

Bro the emblem is on my sedan.
the BS stripes are not on the car.
It's mainly on the diffuser/spoiler outline/the air grille on the side fender and the mirror as well as the front lip

I'll be attempting to do the same on my mirrors.. Maybe if u had HRE P101 brushed red, it would flow better.

Its totally a subjective decision, my honest opinion would be to ditch all the red aside from the mirror caps and rear diffuser. If your happy with it, no need to change. But for a car like the BS, it makes it look a bit cheap with all of the red accents IMHO.

Nay for me. Sorry lol. You already have a nice contrast going on. The dark kind . Get black rims. Keep the spoiler black. Red is too much. Makes it look like a Honda Civic to me. Tint the rear lights. Front lights
