My2013 c coupe sports plus modifications

[dresho]

Sorry to Dresho for hijacking the thread...last post on the subject I promise!

There don't seem to be many places doing the lip for the c class - mostly the version for the C63 only (I note that CKS are selling a primed C63 one on their website and could maybe source a c class one if asked). W204 C63 Front Spoiler Lip W204 C63 Front Spoiler Lip [W204-251] - £329.99 : CKS Performance

As far as a cheaper one I found this Mercedes-Benz W204 C63 AMG Style Carbon Fiber Front Lip CarGym.com

I'm not sure if it Piecha or a copy but it is CF. Im not sure of the site or how much shipping from the US would be though.

Mate do not apologise at all!your helping me = all mods are welcome and then we just nick all the good ones!appreciate the work searching as if carlson fails then i may consider some of the options you have put forward mate!


ps IDRIVE COVERS should arrive this week so will post pics with the door pins

Ah ok mate, maybe just take a little longer to get here than I expected. Where abouts you looking at getting the interior wrapping done? You going for carbon finish?

no im going to get the lip in obsidian black - done before delivery or after - just want the outside all one black tone. Carbon contrast looks good to but i prefer it all obsidian black

Dead easy mate, they simply unscrew on a coupe. I put some kitchen roll around the standard plastic ones to protect the plastic and used an ordinary set of pliers to twist them off. To aid the new ones I used a touch of silicone spray (WD40) just to ensure the threads lines up.

If anyone has a saloon I understand the rear door pins aren't quite as simple to change!!!

[dresho]

Came today in the post - simple click over original idrive - very secure.

decent quality - (esp for the cheap price) - i reckon amg could make these for a higher price and build quality and do well !

 

[Kid_Dav]

does make the rear of the car look that much nicer -just wish they had ones for the front! makes no sense?? search hi and low but no uk ones for the front - ah well - yes the idrive surprised me too! was a gamble that paid of looks nice sitting there rather than the old boring grey nob! - i hope the badges are good to mate - fingers crossed!

il have to wait for my pins to be inserted by less aggressive hands lol
