I definitely remember going through the process you're in now, I'm excited and it's not even my own car! Did you also get your roof wrapped? Lookin gooooood.

beejAMG

Thanks Lemon! I really hope i could get her later so i could clean her and take some descent photos. I wrapped the roof a long time ago mate.

Now that you got rid of your black wheels, any plans to part with the darker accents (headlight tint, black badges, etc.)?

beejAMG

I already changed the hood star to a flat. Im also planning on changing the headlight tints to pacific blue. To match the windows. Heres one photo i took, do you reckon i should take the tint out?

09W211

Again, not my car, but just my opinion. Yes I would take off the tint and leave it that way. The black theme doesn't flow well with your new wheels IMO. Since your wheels were pretty much same finish as mine, I'll just say, I was going to add a CF lip, and CF side skirt extensions to tie in the CF diffuser I had and that was it, no more CF/black accents. The chrome trim, headlight accents, grill, badges all matched the finish of my wheels and that's how I liked it, but again, that was me, this is you.

However, your car does look MUCH better than when you had black wheels on it lol.

Ill see if i can take out the headligh tints this weekend. I already have the CF lip. I didnt know theres a CF sideskirt. Where can I find one?

09W211

I dont think anyone makes one specific for a W211, but I had a local guy that was willing to make it for me. I heard you can hit up APR and get a block of CF and cut it to fit your car.

Just needs to be lowered and you're golden!

Got the tints out. It was a pita to remove. Sanded it with grit 1000 then 2000 then polished. Cant say its as good as new but youre right, a lot better without the tints. Some before and after shots...i promise to take better photos of the whole car when i get the chance.

Shes already lowered with H&R mate. Not really happy especially with the front but ive been back and forth with this and now with the front lip, i dont think i can go any lower or ill scrape everytime in my garage.

That looks incredible!!! Good call on the headlight tints by the way, glad they're gone!

beejAMG

Thanks mate! I am very glad theyre gone and never coming back!

09W211

Much better! I think H&R's have a dead coil but not too sure. Regardless, it's come a long way sir and is starting to come together nicely

beejAMG

Thank you so much! Im quite happy with the result.

I reckon it's about time to change your sig! I think to complete the facelifted look you'll need those DEPO headlights for the facelifted lenses.

beejAMG

Waiting for a better pic to replace my sig. dont forget about the wing mirrors mate.

Craftysince86

good call on pulling the tint

beejAMG

Thanks mate.

AMGAffalterbach

Are you planning on tinting the windows? That would complete the look for me to go with a dark 20 to 15 % tint

beejAMG

no plans for now but that's a great idea. ill think about that.

AMGAffalterbach

For sure man, a matter of style and taste but damn does it make a difference in how hot the interior of the car gets sitting in the sun, which I'm sure you Aussies know all too well. Just curious, what are the laws on tint in AU?

beejAMG

NSW law states a minimum of 35% VLT (Visible Light Transmission) so its not that dark but some people get away with darker than legal but i reckon its just a matter of time before they get pulled over. It can get really hot here especially during the summer. Like Vegas hot!

Looks fine with no tint to me Just a little biased

Awesome facelift! Love the new concave wheels! So jelly! Requesting a side photo of the new look, whenever possible!

beejAMG

09W211, its either dark tint or no tint at all. Still thinking about it.

Drag0na5h, its good to read from you again mate! Thanks for the compliment! I promised everybody here for more photos! Ive just been very busy for the past weeks but ill definitely do it soon. Thanks again!

beejAMG

So sorry for the late post of updated pics. Been very busy lately. Thanks for all the help and input guys! I really appreciate it!
