The Red Cabriolet

I have posted before, just want to have a new thread here of my E-Cabriolet and will update the thread with some tuning in the near future

Here is my car so far:

Next step:
wheel change
front bumper
bonnet
spoiler
exhaust system
interior accessories (haven't decide yet, lol)

RevoZport bumper for sure looks great especially with the lower lip jsut need to make sure you get some wide honeycomb pattern black mesh to put behind the lower intakes to match that on the grill

There's a few guys on here running those and they always look great but depends whether you are happy with a fiberglass bumper instead of PUR plastic.

If you want to keep the PUR AMG front bumper then maybe EFAN's front lips may interest you? The DTM lip is very nice, could part paint it in red and have the lower section in exposed carbon I think that would look great

Carbon Bonnet Installed

So far still not used to the looks of the bonnet on my car but I like it




The adaptation of the bonnet is perfect, didn't need any fixing and adjustment

I love this kit, was contemplating it myself. Thanks for the comments on fitment, appears to be a good quality product. Can't wait to see your car finished!

Nautica: Glad you like it

Nab: The fitment is great, smooth and nice...thinking about wrapping few parts of the bonnet in red, will see when all the parts are installed

Vroom: I can photo the bumper without the splitter when install tomorrow if you want but i think looks just the same as the original AMG package bumper except the LED daylight and the side of the bumper, I personally think looks better with the splitter

Caker: I am very excited too, although the weather here wasn't so good these days, started the painting of the bumper today, hope can install by tomorrow and see how it goes

It's looking really good Koji, I love the RZ bumper and splitter it is how these cars should have come in the first place.

Think if you were doing any of the bonnet red it would need to be the lower sides from the lights back, leaving the center exposed carbon - that's what I would do and it is simply because on the side profile of the E, the edge of the bonnet is so thick and easily visible whereas most other cars don't have bonnets like that. That is just me though, I'm sure when you experiment with the wrap you'll see which parts you want to do and what looks the best.

Would be awesome to get all these modded E's together for one big photoshoot, know it wouldn't ever happen but would be cool if it did

Here is the first photo of my red E-Cabriolet of new Revozport front bumper with carbon bonnet and splitter
Quality of the photo wasn't so good based on phone camera, will photo officially in the near future
So far wanted to tryout without the LED daylight yet, will install few weeks later~
