I’m planning the chrome delete for my C Class coupe that’s due to arrive any day now. I believe the areas that are black in a night package (not currently available in UK for the c class) are:-
Window surrounds
Front splitter
Rear splitter
Front grill
I’m looking for a quick and easy solution that doesn’t require me to do any painting/wrapping of parts myself as I’m no good at that. If I could buy black parts and replace them myself I would but this seems cost prohibitive.
So far I’ve arranged for the window surrounds to be wrapped in gloss black for £130 rather buying the black trims as I’m only able to find them on eBay for over £500.
I’m not sure if wrapping the splitters, at least the front one, is a good idea as I don’t know how it’ll hold up to all the stone chips. Is there a better solution for this?
I’ve been looking for a replacement grill as I’ve seen these are really quick and easy to switch out. I’m searching for “C205” parts but can only find grills for cars manufactured between 2015-18 and the aren’t compatible with a 2020 model. Am I correct in searching for “C205”? I know I could get the grill wrapped to black out the areas required but wondering if this will look naff and be susceptible to stone chips.
Any help with this will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
CH
