conversion update on my w212

[Dr-Nab]

Cars with central number plates that protrude into the central lower intake remind me of this:

Much cleaner with them offset to the left (plates, not teeth)

what wheels are they?

I like them ..

how much?

how heavy?

 

[trapperjohn]

Works for me. All of it.

 

[Dieselman]

Not sure I completely understand this obsession with having no front number plate.

ANPR and front facing speed cameras.

the LED drls look so much better than the hockey sticks,

So are the hockey sticks not LEDs? Doh! I have clearly not been paying attention. What are they then ?

Evening Gents, Ladies..

so i thought id update you with other changes that had been done on my car since the bumper.

since the bumper was added earlier in the year, i was deliberating on what to do with the front wings..

i didnt want to change the wings, but at same time i didnt want to keep the sides the same as standard.

so the choice was between the following:

63 STYLE:

BRABUS STYLE:

I felt the Brabus style was more individual, and with the pearl beige, may even create a unique contrast beyond what ever i was imagining at the time..

Then i found out that the Brabus wing panels on the 212 they can not be added onto the standard 212 wings, and also the price... ouch.. overall i would be looking at £2000+ for all the bits to give the official look + fitting and finishing costs..

So my creative side came into force, decided to draw up a template

I got my Template sketch scanned into the computer and then spent a good week or two creating a carbon fiber vector at 600dpi in the evenings to then get to this finished concept.

Got some vinyl wrap guys i had been discussing this with to print this up on some fancy stuff that has 10 years guarantee etc..

so the final days processing goes as follows:

Personally, i am happy with this.

hope you guys like it..

have a good evening

Over and out.

is fine.. i have posted this so u can see and give your thoughts, good or bad.. im not expecting everyone or anyone to like it.. but if you, great

 

[KillerHERTZ]

Is it expensive to make something like that?

 

[MOCAŠ]

Must say that those stickers look very convincing in the photos, and are in the fine tradition of trompe-l'œil.

 

[The Boss]

Is it expensive to make something like that?

time to make art work, yes, printing material, yes, time to apply, yes.

 

[Bobby Dazzler]

Very clever: both idea, and artistic skill.

 

[DSB SL AMG]

not for me but i applaud your 'thinking outside the box' and creative energy...if you are happy, that is all that matters....

 

[500E]

Mate no offence but that looks terrible.

Looks very good without that on there! IMO a nice set of AMG's would suit this car so nicely!

 

[The Boss]

Is it expensive to make something like that?

but the biggest cost would have been the art work, if i outsourced the design work..

printing costs and application vary across the market depending on who is willing to do it.. many people are scared off by my attention to detail. lol

Your car looked really nice and individual before the decal. I expected more from a man of your tastes and standards.
