***Vossen Photoshoot teaser, color matched grill, slammed***

chawkins2001 · 04-16-2012, 09:12 AM

Just a couple teaser cell phone pics of my Vossen Wheel shoot that will be published later this week. I also added some shots from this am.

In prep for the shoot, I had my grille color match, and pulled off the chrome headlight rings that so many fella's LOVED

Slammed the girl to the ground for the shoot, enjoy

Good job on the chrome ring delete. Little bit of yuck going on right thar....

Did they shoot a video for you too? Those are always so cool....

chawkins2001 · 04-16-2012, 09:49 AM

No video on the first go around, but there will be one. I wanted my wifey in some shots and some burnout footage which is still going to happen.

berti_00 · 04-16-2012, 10:19 AM

So many people loved them, it was hard to let them go

I wanted a cleaner look upfront, so I yanked those SOB's right off.

Yes I am lowered on links sir

Was thinking about color matching my front grill as well. Loved the look of it on pewter.

Is your grill an exact color match? Still looks chrome-ish a bit. It may be just the pics. How do u like it compared to the chrome?

Yes it is an exact match but it is tricky because that is fresh paint, where as the rest of the cars paint is 7 years old. It is hard to get an exact match with silver.

I still have my stock chrome grill though so I can switch back and forth. I must say color matched looks much cleaner in person. The camera pics flash made it look a little off.

Looks sick! I like how your HE fills the entire grille area, allows you to run without the mesh and still look great.

jayjmuir · 04-16-2012, 11:37 AM

Looks really great man! You're always pushing the W211 platform forward!

baldmike73 · 04-16-2012, 12:17 PM

looks good - i think the color matched grill blends too much - either way wheels look amazing.

phampau · 04-16-2012, 12:18 PM

Looks good and nice shoot!

Craig- Car is looking beautiful. They need to move one of the Gulfstream V's over next to your ride !!!!
Can't wait to see it in action at the track. Wheels look sweet.

tbal · 04-16-2012, 10:47 PM

Looks sick!

Whats that infront of your HE?

chawkins2001 · 04-17-2012, 10:55 AM

Nitrous ring.

clmulli · 04-17-2012, 01:14 PM

Looking good! Thanks for sharing.

nizzle · 04-17-2012, 02:11 PM

I like the look and I have noticed that most people with the W211 use staggered rims. I was wondering, on a W211, can you have all for wheels like the rears with the con-caved look?

_AMG_ · 04-17-2012, 04:21 PM

Looks absolutely SICK brotha!
