All Standard and I intend to keep it that way :-) (plus my warranty provider probably will void the car if I modify it).

I personally like the wheels a lot. She's not as clean now, the mags are getting a bit black. I need to clean them soon. But tyres on rear getting changed this week so may ask the dealers tyre department to do it.
I do like your black wheels and black grill, nice. I personally would have kept the star on the hood ;-)

looking good moose!
if you want your wheels to stay cleaner from brake dust, i suggest investing in some akebono ceramic brake pads. i got some of those and with cleaning my car about once a week the wheels never get dirty.

I know, I had already seen your car. it looks great! it's one of the reasons why i'm interested in seeing how 18 " would look. I'm on the hunt for winter wheels

Almost feel kinda embarassed to post these pics after seeing everyone else's rides with rims, tints, drops, etc. but it's a work in progress, slow but getting there.
Mods so far; debaged, flat hood emblem, AZN citylights & license plate lights, blacked out sidemarkers, front license plate removed and bumper plugs installed (thanks magictoilet). Next thing I'm on the hunt for is new shoes, but before that I gotta do something about these damn suspension squeaks that seem to only come up after 20-30 mins of rough road driving. Anyway, I took these pics about three weeks ago and have since gotten the front bumper and hood re-painted so she looks a lot shinier now. I'll get new pics up after some additions are installed cuz she's too stockish for pics right now. And nah, that's not my neighborhood, if you're wondering.

I sprayed em down with this stuff I found at Autozone, it's specifically made for tinting and works like a charm. I forgot the exact brand but if you need to know I'll go dig it up out the basement for you and snap a pic. Process was simple, removed the sidemarkers, layed em down on some newspaper, gave it two coats of tint spray with 20 mins in between, then finally a coat of clear spray.
The bulbs I just wrapped em up in some aluminum foil so they don't shine through (got the idea via this forum so thanks everyone).
To be completely honest with you though, if I could do it all over again, I would just use the matching MB spray paint instead, looks cleaner IMO.

looks good so far "black cat!" well, if that's what mechka is, i know "macka(machka)" is cat in serbian and "crna" is the same in both our languages. I'm assuming Russian maybe?

How do you guys with iPhones upload pics directly to the forum? Or do you use some kind of third party app that spits out the embed code after uploading a pic?

Think I figured it out, here are a couple of post-paintjob shots I took today after a quick wash. I need a new grille.

On a sidenote, the iPhone4 camera aint too shabby.
