Mercedes Benz C300 4matic
Nicole Short - October 2019 Winner

Nicole Short

2016 Mercedes C300 4matic
Original color white—I have since wrapped her in a 3m Perfect Satin Blue. The chrome delete was done/wrapped in satin black, including the roof and side mirrors. I also dipped the front grill, rims and removed the rear emblems and purchased a satin black trunk emblem as well as a rear lip which has been dipped black. I also installed after market HID head lights (however with some minor issues that I knew would happen but I couldn’t handle the halogen lighting so the HID was a must!) I also replaced the blue hood emblem and cap covers with custom black ones.

Future plans—red brake calipers, window tint, tail light tint as well as other modifications-custom interior mats and eventually custom LED lighting etc.







Shes actually more beautiful in person with the sunlight reflecting off her. She turns heads! Which is what I wanted.

Height of car looks good to me. Where I live there are speed bumps . If you lower you scrape bottom. I see cars that have to go over speed bumps on an angle in order not to scrape. Not my bag of tea.

This is one of the best wrap jobs I've seen in a while, the colour is fantastic! I don't see anything wrong with the way it sits.
