Few new CF parts installed

After debating with myself for a while on what color to add to my car i have to the to decision that CF would do it for me.

Installed the front lip which i got from e-bay. Very happy with the results.
Bought a CF spoiler from Gary
CF license plate trim from eBay
Covered my grill in CF Vinyl from ijdmtoy

Next thing will be to cover the bottom part of the rear bumper in CF and clear coat it.
CF center caps
Cover the mirrors in CF and clear coat as well
Interior CF
Cross drilled slotted rotors and new wheels.

The CF vinyl on the grille actually looks very good pal (as does the rest of your mods), blends in nicely, kudos! How's the fitment of the spoiler?

Thank you
Spoiler was alright but needed a little extra work form the shop. Little gap under it but nothing that bad to return it.
The bodyshop said unless its factory made they rarely come with 100% fitment.

In regards to the 'little extra work', what did that amount to? I ask because I have one being shipped to me here in Dubai and would like to know what to expect.

Thanks.

The grille looks good! It would look better though if the lines of the CF on the fins were all consistent. Love the lip! Has the red paint on the tires been a pain to keep up?

No did not do that though i did try but the clips are too strong and small
Taking the grill off was very easy though.
I like how mercedes came up with a way to hold it in tightly with no screws at all

Thanks Dyno,

and lmao you dont miss a thing do you ahaha.
My friends said the same thing so that is definitely going to change when i do the mirrors.

As far as the red paint thats all my fault. First day i did them or better 3 hours after i did them i go to a touch free carwash and when i realized what i was doing it was too late.
The paint is pretty strong though it does stay in nicely i haven't even touched it up once because i have been lazy lol

Love the mods, although it'd blend much nicer on an AMG package equipped car. Gonna tint the tails to match?

Yeah too bad it's impossible to find a CF lip for my bumper because they don't make them anymore.

I personally tinted the white part and left the red, it gives it a mean AMG look, like an SL55.

You tell me, this is as dark as it gets (cloudy day). Looks a bit lighter under the sun. Got the film off eBay for less than $10 and did it myself, pretty cheap DIY.

Did you purchase a pre-cut tint? I am looking on ebay but they have the full ones only or just rolls...

There is a pre-cut version but it's like $50 for two sets. Try searching as clk63 on eBay and you should find it

what type of front bumper is your car? the fogs looks like it has some chrome strips and the center looks different..

the chrome effect for the fogs looks great!

Yeah, I bought a 12x24 sheet for like $8 and applied it to the taillights and then trimmed off the excess. I would recommend this over the pre-cut ones, because depending on how you heat and stretch it, it may be too small or too big.

I just have the stock 350 bumper. Chrome stripes are from Autozone.

I just cut and fitted them there. Inspired from the e-class
