Hey.

I got a friend to do abit of messing around on photoshop.

Are any of you a fan of vinyl wrapping?

bheng

+1 looks dope.

Rashman

Hey bud.

Yeah, I reckon I like how it looks too.

Just wanted to get a few opinions.

Other areas to wrap would be the slats on the grille, the vents in the front bumper and boot spoiler.

But I don't want it to look "overkill".

I like the way the front bumper section looks though.

Looks Hot! I say do the vents and the slats since it's all on the front

Damn that was my idea :-P you beat me to it. Im doing the same thing on my regular amg bumper. I was thinking about just painting but then i realized if i got bored of it, what would i do then? So vinyl it is It looks great although i would not do it carbon fiber style (My personal preference). My choice would be just gloss black

I just realized you guys were talking about the grill and im talking about the lip between the fogs :-P This is a rough photoshop edit of what im talking about



Here is another idea i was thinking of, im not sure if i like it but wrapping the plastic corner pieces in black

+2. If you have other carbon fiber pieces, go with carbon fiber. If not, then glossy black is a good alternative.

Rashman

Hey guys.
Thanks for all your responses.

For my car, carbon fibre is prooving quite tricky to get hold of.

That's why I'm thinking of wrapping.

I agree with the comments on gloss black. I reckon that'll work well too.

I've had another idea too!.. I'll see if I can edit another picture later.

Rashman

First picture looks best.

blackening the plastic covers on the second picture doesn't do it for me.
It kinda spoils the lines of the bodywork alittle.

But the first one looks cracking!

Hopefully later, I'll show you another idea I've had.

michaelnovikov

Im not a big fan of it either now that i look at it. I think im just going to wrap the lip then just like you have it on your 63 bumper.

Looking forward to the other idea, if you need a photoshop edit let me know

Rashman

Another idea...

(excuse my poor attempt to edit a pic. LOL)

The blacked-out area would be wrapped.

michaelnovikov

Not bad, i still think the initial one looks better. It reminds of the new sl 63s with the blacked out center lip and i've been itching to do it my self. The carbon fiber is definetly not a bad alternative, i'm still debating on mine since im getting the carbon fiber diffuser from vis so it might be wise to wrap it carbon fiber but at the same time might be pricey as well unless you go for faux material. Problem with that for me is that then i have to wrap the diffuser in the same texture

guofan

now you guys got me want to do it as well.......

michaelnovikov

The person that actually inspired this idea for me was aznxkicker, here is his car:



You can see more pictures in his album https://mbworld.org/forums/members/a...g-w-model.html

Now i like the girl instead of the car

michaelnovikov

Haha its a hard decision

guofan

i wonder when she gonna get run over by traffic

michaelnovikov

With her looks, she will make the traffic before it hits her Plus, from what i understood its supposed to be an inactive tunnel so all the privacy you need if you know what i mean

guofan

My new vacation spot!

Rashman

If you're getting the Vis rear diffuser, you may want to look at getting CF for the front too.
It'd almost be shameful to wrap a beautiful CF rear diffuser, eh.

You guys are lucky.
I can't get a CF rear diffuser ANYWHERE in the UK.
Properly sucks.

The only option for me is to order one from Vis and hope it doesn't get broken on the way over.

Yeah, I kinda prefer my first pic too.

I think if I had the vents done too, it'll look great.
May even get the boot spoiler done too, to balance things.

Rashman

LOL!

I've been hunting for this guys pics!
I remember seeing it a while ago and was desperately trying to find them.

You're right too, it was seeing this car that got me thinking.

michaelnovikov

That sucks that there are no shops that can mold the diffuser for you, its an awesome look with the quad tips. Linh has it done on his car and a couple of other members, quiet beautiful.

Yeah it might be wise for me to just wrap the center lip in carbon, i just have to see how much it costs. I'm having tremendous expenses on the car with the upgrade to AMG Eibach suspension, AMG bodykit, plus the paint job and the damn quad setup. I will be doing all of this summer so ill post some updates.

I'm not sure about the vents, it might look good you have to see because on the black series it looks awesome but then again those vents are attachable to the bumper so they stick and yours go in. I have a feeling though it should be pretty nice.

M-bENZ

stick with the original design...this..looks like its missing something.

Andy

Rashman

Yeah man, it's bad over here for Benz mods.
You can get all kinds of buuuuullsh#t for your BM's over here, but no Benz stuff really.

Sounds like you're spending lots, but good money on the car.
Good for you.

Yeah, I'll see about the vents.
You're right. Mine are quite different from the Black Series vents.
