C63 - White with wrapped spoiler/handles

Hi all, I collected my C63 on the 1st September and am loving it!


Spec is:
Solid White
Black/Red Leather Interior
Premium Pack
Night Package
19" AMG Wheels
AMG Sports Exhaust


I love the contrast of the gloss black against the white, especially with the panaromic roof, however was disappointed that the chrome handles remained and also wasn't keen on the chrome strip across the boot - with this in mind I decided to visit my local tint/wrap shop (Eclipse Tinting in Stafford, UK) who I have used in the past - I wanted them to tint the front windows a little to help blend in with the factory tinted rears, lose the chrome by wrapping the boot strip white to match the car and the handle covers gloss black to match the night package. I had the rear spoiler wrapped black to make it more prominent and also got them to add the red surround to the grille, edition 1 style!


I hope you like the pics, I think the car now looks a little more 'complete' and love it chrome free

Looks good. I think the white with the Night Package has to be one of the best color combos for the C63.
And I am a guy that doesn't like white cars.
Good choice with the handles too.

I agree. I don't like white cars (got black myself), but White with Night Styling is sharp.

The door handles are a nice touch. The 2-tone looks really slick.

Looks good - I like! If I can ever convince myself to pull the trigger I may have to copy cat the door handles.

I can't believe the car came with chrome handles... I wasn't sure how wrapping will affect its touch sensitive function. Can you send more pics of the handle wrap? I have to get that done to mine.

Good Contrast! Simple mod makes a big difference.

I don't think the wrap will negatively affect the touch sensitive function. I say that because the sensor is on the lower part of the handle and not the part that gets wrapped.


I'm still speculating, but I think I'm guessing correctly.

That is extremely similar to my car and I really like what you've achieved with a few simple changes. Nice job. I am tempted to do the same with the spoiler and door handles although matching a vinyl to the pearlescent paint could be slightly harder to delete the chrome boot strip.


Great work!

Your car looks fantastic. You can add me to the list of owners who may copy some of the work you have done. Very simple enhancements that have had a massive visual impact.

just wondering how is that handle wrap holding up, did they remove the whole thing to wrap or did it in place?
