- In this video, I used Vvivid Vinyls Gloss Black XPO series vinyl to "black out" the window trim on my 2016 Mercedes-Benz W205 C-Class C300.

Hey Flexx. Love the content brother. My car is a C43, so my trim is already black, but I did do my door handles, and the strip on the rear trunk. Can I make a suggestion for a future video? Like many MB owners, I notice a few creaks inside my car. I've used some foam insulation, velcro strips, etc to minimize it...but I can't seem to completely eliminate it. A video that addresses this challenge, and perhaps shows where the most likely areas of concern would be, would be awesome.
Keep up the great work!
Same issue with my c300
Thanks for the suggestion but that’s not really a cosmetic or performance mod. My channel isn’t really a repair channel. There’s gotta be other content on TH-cam that shows a fix on those things. I surprised I haven’t experience those issues. 🤷🏻♂️
I wrapped my E 550 coupe , and now I kinda miss the 🥚 egg shape… I’m thinking of removing the wrap….
My opinion is yes : the Sedan 204 205 or SUV : better wrap it !
But for a E coupe , C coupe or CLS, I like it better in chrome IF AND ONLY IF the windows are tinted black ! (On a black car)
Can we get videos of you testing your cars on a track or just doing a 0-60 video with all your cars. It would be a great video.Keep up the good work👍
Hahaha. I’m not a racing channel. This channel is about mods to help with looks and some improvement with performance for street driving…not racing. Thanks though. Maybe one day I can build a car that’s straight up for racing. Can’t yet. TH-cam doesn’t pay me enough. However, the A4 will be dyno after stage 2 is done.
Looks good bro! Definitely gonna buy the product for my W204 C300👍🏽
W204 are even easier to do. The trim have more space between the trim and rubber seal. And you can always snap off the trim to wrap them off the car. I did a whole video on that on for c250 coupe.
@@TheFlexxGarage I didn’t know that the trim can snap right off this will be easier for me to wrap. Thanks Flexx! I’m gonna make a video of me wrapping the window trims. Check out my C300 on my TH-cam channel👍🏽
@@TheFlexxGarage name of the vid? Or link? I’ll try looking but the algorithms burry one with other stuff
My c450 came with black..but I had to go with your other recommendations on black out all other chrome; splitter , side, and spoiler. ..
Great vid thanks!! Best videos for the w205!
Glad you liked it!
Looks great !! 😎 I just have the same project for my car 😊
Great job it looks amazing!
Thank you!
Looks amazing. Good job.
looks great Flexx!
Where did you get the black lower molding trims from?

Hey Flexx! Does the c250 video include the grill also?
Do you have any idea how to remove the blades that you blacked out? I got covers for them too But in my car the didn’t fit in right in one end it was sticking out a little bit it was annoying so I removed them :(
Hey,
Just got an C350e, I want to tune up my car as you did but if I look up the items are for a W205, while my car is a S205. Unfortunatly, there are not alot of parts with the search term S205.
Would it be a problem if I buy W205 mods for the fit in my class? Or wouldn’t it fit.
Thanks alot!
All of a sudden I can't hear the bass in my 2016 c300, it was perfectly fine some days ago. I checked the sound settings and everything was ok, but still no bass. Do you know what the problem is?
FLEXX, I BEEN TRYING TO GET LIGHTS N OTHER STUFF FROM THE CAR DESIGN PLACE U DID. THEY NEVER ANSWER EMAILS, ECT
Keep uploading!!
Hahaha. I never stopped uploading. I always do 3-5 videos a month. You just never know what you’re gonna get so you just gotta stay tuned. 😎
I got mine half/half... and as mine is a silver paint i want the entire thing Chromed! Any advice? Prices? I thank in advance 🙏 (I'm in Dublin btw, if anyone knows a mechanic)
hey flex ! great video but im having problems wrapping the chromes near the mirrors ! any suggestions ? I preferably dont want to remove the mirror !
I had to do it in 2 pieces. 1 piece for the straight part of the trim and 1 piece for under the mirror area. Just have to do some work while the side mirror was up and down.
@@TheFlexxGarage thanks youre the goat!
hey flex how did u black out the rear trim on the trunk below the logo. did u vinyl that too?
go watch my 2 videos on it. I did it white but then I replaced the entire trim with a smoked light bar.
Please make more videos with c300 ✨(I’m from Cambodia 🇰🇭)
where did you get the turbo badge on the side of the car?
All the details are in this video and the video description. th-cam.com/video/33iBhMNHsLo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=f3l2Z11f7yjQh9k5
Flex you should travel around doing all these things for us c300 owners great work
Why? Lol. I’m a TH-camr making videos, not a repairman or mechanic. The goal of my videos is to inspire you guys to do your own stuff.
ahahahha thats a weird comment
I wanted to do this!!! Thank you
Wasnt sure whether to have a local shop cover my chrome or do it myself. Im just worried it’ll look wonky if i do it myself.
I would say go and give it a try (you really have nothing to lose) but it's not so much about installing the vinyl that's hard...but the cutting part. If you are not comfortable with taking a blade to your car...then definitely get a pro to do it.
Looks great 👌🏻
I see that steering wheel Flex! Can’t wait to see how you upgraded that. Looks dope.
Did that weeks ago homie. Videos been up.
🤙🏽 Good one again. Thanx.
would all these part fit a E300 2017 as well ?
its a wrap dude, it would fit your bicycle too.
🤣🤣🤣
Hey flex is there a way to upgrade the HIDs in the headlight to something even brighter
I don’t know. I’ve never really looked into it. These aftermarket USR headlights have an HID or LED kit pre-installed. Not sure if it’s upgradable to something brighter. You would need to message them to find out. 🤷🏻♂️
@@TheFlexxGarage thanks for your reply flex. I just started building my car & your videos help a lot. May god bless you brother 🙏
Goodluck! I bet it will be awesome when completed. 😎🤙🏼
I'm confused on what a W205 is, i'm pretty new to all this but im trying to learn. I was going to get a CLA 250 but after seeing how the C300 perfroms I'm definitely going that route
W205 (for the C-Class) is the internal code number. It's simply an easy way of identifying which generation of C-Class we're talking about. For instance, the predecessor is the W204 and successor the W206.
Yeah don’t get the CLA 250, go with the C250, C300 or C350
I think it's missing some black wheels now and yes it's going to get sick
Already did black 19s and took them off. I did that video last year. The stock 18 ride so much better. I might change the color but I’m lazy to do it.
Do these vinyl wraps damage easily
No. Unless you didn’t properly install it or you take a high pressure washer to it.
🔥🔥🔥
Which is more good at quality, vinyl wrap, carbon or plastic dip?
Depends on the install and the maintenance.
@@TheFlexxGarage Alright but which lasts long?
Again, it depends on the install and upkeep. Any of those can beat each other but it depends who’s installing it, how they installed it, and how well you take care of it. Simple.
This is how the car should of come from the factory. Chrome is ugly an should not be used for the rest of humanity on any car ever.
Agreed. If people want the lux edition then put chrome. Other than that, do gloss black. Not matte or rubber black.
Cooooooool
Top top top 👍👍👍👍
Door handles next
Can’t. They have sensors to unlock and lock the car.
@@TheFlexxGarage I wrapped mine. Only the chrome part. You need to remove the door handles and take the chrome pice off and wrap. My sensors work the same as before.
I know it’s doable but that’s way too much work and time I don’t have. I don’t have the interest either. The chrome almost gets lost in the white paint anyway. It’s not an eyesore like on a black or colored Benz
