Wanna know what is making me regret getting my Black W204?

[Guest gainax]

......A stunning white W204 ;D

Gona paint the grills like this:

The White/Black contrast really stands out!

Full view of the back brakelights, any recommendation on how to do this? change the whole thing or tinting?

Overview...damn...he has paranoma roof! :'(

ahem... u forgot 1 very crucial thing... the owner dismantled his headlights and resprayed the interior to black - much cheaper way of emulating the darkened C63 headlights than to purchase the actual C63 lights - IF u can order it in the 1st place..

another very important thing - my worry if i were to do wat he did is for moisture to seep into the headlight casing now tat he has broken the seal & it has been operated on before... do not forget our humid & wet country... a slight drop of moisture would mean ur headlights fogging up with water.

and another point haha... : IMHO the white on a CLEAN C-Class tends to look extremely nice in photos... not as stunning in person somehow (not tat it isnt good looking ).

Some cars on the other hand always look better in person than in photos. The W204 isnt the case it seems.

so dont be too upset abt ur choice of BLACK... a BLACK merc - no matter which model always look classy & fierce in person - especially if it is well taken care of.

cheers

bros, wana noe how good the WHITE w204 looks in the flesh, drop by C&C and you will catch one in the lobby, but it was listed as 'SOLD', i was there last friday, so not sure if its still around. in addition, there's another another paladium and iridium silver w204s on the second level

Like my SE told me, WHITE is always the nicest colour for Merc (if you maintain it, that is). Only after the introduction of a huge fleet of white merc taxis some time back, people started avoiding white for merc. If you remember the olden days, white has always been the choice colour for merc. Even if the C Class does not have an equivalent taxi out there, people still associate white merc with taxis.

Having said that, mine is BLACK, and I'm loving every inch of it! If you mainatain your Black, nothing else comes close as the kind of glow you can get from black can never be achieved with any other colour.

I think this White W204 did alots more mod on the looks, the grill was spray to black too. If it is Std, i guess is another Premiun cab.... ;D

[Guest CBlack]

i wanted white too but the image of the mercedes cab hold me back. if not i will be known as CWhite instead of CBlack ;D

[Guest 9339]

Ya i think white is the first colour to avoid for Merc, next will be silver.

[keltanky]

you can buy this type of "taiwan made" black headlights

[keltanky]

colors of taxis

most e-klass merc are White

got also e-klass merc in Silver

haven't seen other colors..

[Guest CBlack]

here's more white W204

[Guest angela]

you can buy this type of "taiwan made" black headlights

so fast and copies are available?

anwys if u wld be kind enough to redirect me to where i can get them? are they proper replicas of the C63 headlights or are they simply sprayed black on the inner trimmings?

i have seen a set of C63 headlights for sale in Japan which seem to be the real deal. They have close up picks of the darkened headlights... costs abt $3K +... i dunno but seems quite reasonable.

heh... im sorry, not properly introduced yet but ask so many questions... cant resist lah. ;D

[Guest kopimonster]

yea...too bad for the taxi stigma in singapore...cuz the white colour really looks good on the w204

With a full mod like the photos provided, theres no worry that it will look like a cab.

I still prefer white...makes the lines more obvious for me.

[Guest angela]

White is definitely better since everything stands out against it... but no more modding please... I've had enough wif all our previous rides... haha. Hopefully my hubby doesn't get poisoned again.

haha nice, seldom see husband and wife sharing the same passion for modding, bet you guys must have tons of fun before , anyway, good choice on the w204, so which did you chose? the avant garde or the classic design?

We got the avant garde wif panaromic roof. Was seriously debating abt taking white cos wanted the roof to really stand out against the black but decided to take black in the end cos of the stigma attached to white mercs...

Modding... tell me abt it again... the hours spent sitting & idling at the workshops... My hubby lucky, I like fast cars (haha...) but now both of us a bit too old to be 'chiongsters'...

The stock we want is already fitted (according to the SE) so no option to choose unless we are willing to wait even longer. I think it shld be cashmere beige.
