White CLS550 + Vossen CV3's + Makeup @ GMP Performance

We would like to share our latest Mercedes project with you. This is a 2012 Mercedes CLS550 in Diamond White. We ordered up a set of Vossen CV3's and had the faces and outer rings of the wheel powder coated in Matte Black and the inside barrels and windows gloss black. We also had the center caps finished in matte black as well wrapped in Toyo Proxes 4.

As for the body, we started with a gloss black roof and gloss black window trim. We removed the blue tech badges and the CLS550 rear chrome badges and painted the rear emblem black as well. We didn't stop there, next up we attacked the front grill with some two tone action of gloss and matte black and went back to the rear of the car again and color matched the chrome strip on the tailgate and the brushed aluminum piece on the lower diffuser between the two exhaust tips. Speaking of exhaust tips, those got gloss black too.

Car came out great, customer will be back for software and a lowering module next month so stay tuned as we continue to strive for perfection.

Thanks guys for the compliments. Its pretty cool that a set of wheels and some subtle changes to the exterior and you can have a nice looking car that says wow with out spending a ton on a body kit and leave yourself some room for some LOW and Performance.

HTN75 PM' coming.

That looks lovely!

I have had the black wrap on the roof and am going for the black emblems.

perfect makeup really.

Can you pick some more photos from the rear bumper and keep space in some and closed in some, I really like how it looks after painting the rear lip part under the bumper in same car color rather than the original chrome.

Love the rear trim painted body color as opposed to blacked out. The grille, wheels, window trim and exhaust look great in black!
