Nice looking car!
I know bekkers is not cheap but, their clearcorners , as I understand it, are OEM.
Since you've already done the suspension, the only other things I would consider is de-badging & possibly a nice exhaust ?
Hey, it's your car, I just don't believe in " over doing it"

I agree with you too. I already debadged it, and put an OEM AMG decal to match the wheels. I got clear corners for $100, they were Cesar or something. Very comparable to Bosch. How much do they go for now?

I dont understand why people say that. There is no way to make a Mercedes-Benz look like a Honda. A Honda will always be a Honda, and Benz will always be a Benz...


You can do some of the same mods to the cars. I understand some mods, may have stigma with them, but in no way will you make a MBZ look like a Honda........ Even if you tried, or wanted to... No way.... Apples and Oranges... IMO

This is how you make an M-B look like a Honda:

1. Lower it so that you have absolutely NO suspension travel left, and your wheels are totally hidden under the fenders.
2. Altezza lights, enough said.
3. Lots of sticker for things you don't even have on your car.
4. A soupcan for a muffler, with the only purpose to annoy other people.
5. Blue windshield washer nozzles that light up at night.
6. Neon lights around the licence plate, and maybe under the car.
Just some suggestions to create a DORK car.
If I had more time, I could come up with 10 more.
