W205 C250D Mod progress

[Bowen22]

Hi guys,

new here and wanted to post some pics of the new motor. Still got a few bits I want to do but here it is so far. List of changes below:

- chrome splitter and window surrounds wrapped in gloss black
- wheels powder coated gloss black
- gloss black grille
- gloss black boot lid spoiler
- black and silver flat bonnet badge
- mirror caps painted gloss black
- de badge

thinking of wrapping the door handles and painting the rear diffuser but haven’t decided yet. Also considering a map. Any other ideas welcome.

Very nice , well done

Thought I should post a before photo to...

Congrats. The C coupe does a wonderful side profile but I must admit I prefer the original wheels. Black wheels imo rarely look good.

I have just fitted a pair of the black sill trim extensions that the C63S model has. £70 each from Mercedes. I think they add a lot visually to the side of the car. They have double sided tape on the top edge and a number of click in tabs on the underside and one each end on the top side. I used an appropriately sized strip of metal heated up to make the fitting slots in the original sill cover. I purposely made the two end ones a tighter fit because the stock cars are known for this trim popping out at the ends. I'm really pleased with the result on mine. I'll try to find a picture or snap one myself tomorrow in the daylight.

Wouldn’t mind seeing some photos! I have been looking for other ideas but I don’t want to make it look to much like the C63, otherwise I’m trying to make it look like something it’s not.

 

[Jobsworth]

Mine is a C63, so hopefully that’s ok

I think the night pack cars come with these strips. My car is blue, so they are quite subtle and don’t stand out that much. I think they’d look great on yours and continue the black at the lower edge of the front bumper around the car and add a little width low down

There are some small bits similar to that in my skirts but not as wide. I might wrap them black and the door handles. Don’t want to go over the top and kill it though. They look good on yours!

 

[Jobsworth]

They fit over the stock scallop that you mention.

That looks really nice...I much prefer the look of the night pack to the standard chrome. I keep toying with the rear boot spoiler for my coupe....I just think they look good.

I agree, would look good wrapped/sprayed black, pretty subtle but effective.

Wrapped mine in gloss black , car's white so not so subtle . See last week's thread on quad exhausts , posted a photo in the thread.

Really tastefully done Bowen, very inspiring!

Looks very nice. Wheels are a bit much for me, however if they had the edge painted or cut in silver I think that would break it up and compliment the black and silver theme.

 

[ScoobyMatt]

Very nice - good to see the coupes out in force

 

[Wolfie1]

Yea looks good do the diffuser, but i would leave the chrome tips i reckons, could you not wrap the diffuser or to difficult to do?
