2012 E-Class Cabriolet (RED)
Spare Wheels options
First of all I would like to thank everyone commented on my door sills
compare to the past products this sills i wouldn't say it is the best but so far I am satisfied with the quality and the fitting and the appearance. They have options of white and blue LED, and also have few logo options: AMG, Mercedes-Benz, Brabus, Carlsson, and Lorinser. Right now this is the new product and I bought it from one of my friends who's father's factory made it. So far I don't see any sites or auctions such as eBay post the same product as mine yet, and if anyone interested in the sills can PM me, will discuss the shipping cost based on your country and the sills itself is US$200 for W207 and for W204 and other 4 door mercedes I need to check the price with my friend again.
I used to wear the AMG wheels before I bought Vossen(changing the subject here, sorry), the very first wheels on the red cabriolet was the 6 stoke 18inch stock wheel and changed to the 16 stoke 19inch wheel that came out with the C63 coupe in the first place, here was the photo of my AMG wheel:
Then I changed to Vossen because it is 1 inch larger than my previous wheel, and it's about the same weight of the wheel. What most important was the Vossen can show more clearly of my gold AMG caliper. So I sold my AMG wheel when I installed my Vossen, so far I'm still satisfied with this wheel.
The place I am living now the summer and winder doesn't have big changes of the weather, so I do not need to worry about summer or winter tire, but I personally think the style of the wheel does make the change of the look of the entire vehicle. Almost everybody when they look at the car the first thing they see is the wheel, just like when you see hot chicks you start with the shoe/heels she is wearing = = (don't hit me if I am wrong~)
So I came up with an idea of buying a spare sets and change it whenever I want or if I damage my wheels and need to repair them. Then I start thinking, should I buy the same size, the same brand, similar style?
Recently I had this news from my friend about TWS wheels (made in Japan), that they made a limited edition wheels and it is ONLY for 3 mercedes vehicles: the W212 E63 AMG, W204 C63 AMG, and W204 C63 Black Series. They are limited production for only 6 months and only 3 types of color available, here are the closeup photo:
To he honest, this is 18 stroke with 19 inch forged wheel looks little similar to my previous AMG 16 stroke wheel but the weight per wheel is big difference. I remember the AMG wheel was 14.5kg per wheel, this TWS forged wheel is less than 10kg per wheel.
Here is their official website can check it out~

HI Kojan,
I also ordered the Eisenmann 4 x 120x77 mm (that's what you have ? correct ?)
Where did you buy the diffuser from ? I don't want to cut the OEM diffuser.
Thank you

Prior Design PD550 rear bumper + Genuine C63 AMG Black Series Exhaust Tips
Hey, thank you guys for the comment and support of my Facebook pages of the coupe and the cabriolets around the world, will keep posing when new comes out^^
Two updates for the red cabriolet:
1. Prior Design PD550 rear bumper+diffuser
2. Genuine C63 AMG Black Series Exhaust Tips
This two parts arrived few days ago and I am very excited to install them to the red cabriolet as soon as possible
Here is the box of my Prior Design PD550 rear bumper:
Few shots of the bumper
(the diffuser and the bumper are in one price)
This is the grill for the middle hole of the diffuser(some people will option with tail light or fog light but I chose the grill instead)
This is the closeup of the pipe hole of the diffuser that I am ready to install the new AMG quad tailpipe
This is the photo of the tailpipe
By the way it is very very hard to get because the black series of the C63 is a limited edition car, of course the parts of the car is very very difficult and some places are not willing to order because I don't actually have the C63 black series = =
Although the tailpipe of the SL63 is the same but the car just came out so the parts are not very much in stock yet. Anyways, here are the shots:
The installation will start next week, need to plan the exhaust mod of this tailpipe with the Eisenmann muffler, the paint of the bumper, etc...

can't wait to see these on Koji, I think you should turn the tips from the eisenmann in to a novelty pen holder or desk ornaments haha or you could sell them on to someone who wants some quad eisenmann tips

2012 E550 Coupe
Very well done! Blacking out the chrome works really well on your car especially with the black top and hood and the removal of the chrome trim on the sides looks so much better. The exhaust tips look fierce. It may be just camera angle but the only thing I might consider is a larger trunk spoiler to balance the framing of the rear with the Prior package.

New Updates of Red Cabriolet
It's been very very busy and didn't have time to update the current condition of the red cabriolet. The recent update is I have wrapped the red cabriolet into Chrome-Brushed-Red. So far I am very satisfied with how it looks, here is one of the official shots:
