Brakes Upgraded!!!
Friends, I might have delayed in asking for your advise last time when we discussed the brakes and related topics. As a result, Brembo brakes and new rotors were put on, I dont' know if they bothered with upgrading to the braided line, and since if I have that kinda money I spend else where I have not followed up on it (hopefully it comes with it) However, for your kind help I have the pictures for the brake up grade and rim adornment for your viewing pleasure. You might find the color choice singular, and I promise no photoshop job (alright I forgot if I pumped up the brightness, but nothing else) was done to it.
Someone in another thread asked why they charge so much for the carbon front lip/splitter. Well I personally think it's criminally overpriced, but, one cannot judge. I do have the picture here for the carbon splitter attached here. |

The car does not belong to me. However, thanks guys your inputs helped his brake project moving forward with more confidence. He tells me he let his girlfriend picked the color....
He has been kind enough to let me borrowed his pictures, so I shall say no more Last edited by westphone; 05-22-2013 at 02:47 AM.. Reason: content |

I think it looks like the wheels do not belong on that car. I guess it would have fit in better on a black car, perhaps with more trim details in pink. On this car I would have kept the contrast line on the rims white, and the calipers red.

I love the front splitter but the wheels/brake combo are not for me. Sorry...... as you have probably put a lot of time and money into that.
I would loose the fluorescent pink and see how it goes from there.

I thought you gents would like to see the green-ish C63 AMG. After all, I owe it to all of you who have helped me so much by replying my threads. I know it is a lot to take it in all at once, so....

I like the flared fenders. It could have some wider wheels at the back.
When it comes to styling, the taste is definitely different in Europe and Asia. Who is to say that one region has better taste? |
