Looks great man! Wheels, headlights, everything! I'm sort of iffy on the tail lights because I like the clear white strip that goes all the way, but it's a minor detail!

I need to find the time to do my headlights soon! T_T

Very true! I retract that statement then :P Any plans for a diffuser/quads or an exhaust on your car? Or does your girlfriend want to keep it "simple" (although I'd say compared to 95% of W204s out there, your car definitely isn't simple )

Car looks sweet. Did you post a DIY for the headlights? I did that on my Nissan Titan, baked the whole housing in the oven at like 200 degrees to get it apart. Did you do something similar?
