M2C HS, DCT, MP Madness - Build Thread

Oxymoron · 11-17-2018, 05:07 PM

This looks so damn good! I was happy with my LCI but now I'm having bad ideas

bwhouse · 11-17-2018, 09:00 PM

The painted muffler looks fantastic. Did you drop it down off the car or paint it in place?

hellrotm · 11-18-2018, 12:51 AM

Well executed build.

Meanie · 11-18-2018, 07:20 AM

Just ordered the blue start/stop button from IND, my OCD is getting the better of me. I also came across these front lip protectors from Acexxon and thought I would give them a try.

MR

I think you are one of the few that knows how much prep and research went into this build. I also think you are one of the few that knows what is coming next

Dropped the entire exhaust. Either do it right or don't do it at all I say.

Meanie · 11-19-2018, 06:35 AM

When you think your paint is not too bad and your detailer sends this to you (I don't remember selecting the swirl option when I ordered my car):

My God.

Did he already clay the car? Because that also leaves some marring.

Car has not been touched yet. The car has just been put under light.

mdma-zn · 11-25-2018, 03:19 PM

Loving this thread - learnt a lot already.
A month to go before i can pick up my M2C.
I wish i had your budget - I was quoted about 130K ZAR for the CF hood

After seeing this thread, the 763 wheels are a must for me now.

Meanie we need a local M2C whatsapp support group....

The 763s are most certainly a must. I have very good contacts that can get Mperf parts way cheaper.

We already have a whatsapp group. PM me your number.

Meanie · 11-25-2018, 03:37 PM

Some before and after pics I have received so far.

larry.beck · 11-25-2018, 05:26 PM

Hey Meanie those lip protectors look interesting - I never noticed them before. Are they stick-on?

I'm getting ready to mount my Vorsteiner lip and am wondering if I should add these beforehand.

Meanie · 11-27-2018, 06:26 AM

Updated, some pics of the detailing process completed. Next up is PFFing the entire car.

The car looks beautiful, well done! Love the painted hood with the tease of carbon.

Meanie · 12-04-2018, 01:57 PM

Update: PPF coming along nicely, the final finish is exactly what I was after. I know it is expensive to do the entire car, but with everything that I have put into it, the result justifies the cost IMHO.

Thank you very much. The painted hood just completes the M2C if you ask me. Super expensive, but well worth it.

Meanie · 12-07-2018, 12:26 PM

My M2C is finally finished, all panels paint corrected and PPF'ed, interior leather fully treated, the car will be delivered back to the dealer once they just finish up ceramic coating the wheels and doing final checks on the car. I am so excited I can already feel the sleepless nights coming.

A friend KyleSteenberg also has his new M2C in for a full paint correction and front PPF. We are hoping to get the two cars before delivery in a small photoshoot. You just got to love M2C's

Honestly couldn't be more excited to get our cars together for a shoot. A DCT ultra stripped Mperf and a 6MT ACS car. Should be absolutely epic 👍🏻

whoop_ass · 12-08-2018, 01:53 AM

Stunning, the car looks perfect!

MR. · 12-09-2018, 07:46 AM

Finished?

Meanie we both know it is far from finished

MR

It's never finished. Never
