That should get you some tickets - looking sharp! I think I would leave the calipers - they look fine OEM. Not sure how I feel about the flicks though - that's personal preference of course!
Nice job. That color definitely must attract a lot of attention. Red calipers would look better.
Normally I’m not a fan of stripes but yours works with the color of wrap.
The last picture reminds me of a Tiger cub. Not sure if the flicks is something I would go with but if you like is all that matters.
Oh and wheels and lowered is on point.
It's been dechromed with vinyl wrap, but emblems are all after market from ebay in black. Also I agree flicks are personal preference but oddly they seem to get much of the attention. Except from the police who are more interested in my extra curricular activities.
Yes suspension lowered and ecu remapped to squeeze out 620bhp. I also installed an after market 12.3" android head unit; took me 4 hours to do but has been worthwhile excercise. So much better.
Funny, historically I often buy a car and within 6 months start planning my next one (e.g rs3, rs5, rs4) but simply not the case with this baby. Can't imagine not having her.

Wrap looks good. I would keep the calipers as is. Any pics of the android head unit?
Good to know I'm not the only one that buys a car and soon after start looking at others to buy. 3 months with the coupe so far and really happy as well.

Actually a very useful addition esp in the UK where speed cameras/traps are prolific, so I can use Waze as my default. The OEM Nav auto starts Waze, and Google voice control allows me to control the unit easily without too much touch screen activity
12.3" head unit.
Ordered from https://www.dmpcardes******** arrived within a week and took about 2 hours to install. Used this video as the guideline

The "flicks", while aesthetic pleasing.....are not factory and are a personal preference. However, the OEM set for the C63 BS were priced at $4,500 for four pieces. I liked them and made my own for my C55 at a cost of less than $150 (excluding my time).
There should be a carbon fibre shop in jolly "O" England that makes auto products and could do the job for you. Here's some that look OEM listed on EBay at a super reasonable price. Not sure about quality, though. https://www.ebay.com/itm/27348272961...53.m1438.l2649
The color is definitely an attention getter! As others have suggested, I'd skip the red calipers and go with a matching yellow or something more complementary of the yellow.
