So far, you kept your ride clean looking... but it's only plasti dip and vynil mods. When are you going to put some nice wheels on it? And maybe lower the suspension a bit? I see you really like your car, so why not spend a little more money than 6$ cans?

I'd love to but sadly with school and all the prep work to get ready for college. I had to quit my job so money is slim. Also I only have this till next January so doesn't make sense to spend a lot. Trust me I want to do so much more but it just doesn't make sense.

Yeah I understand that. Luckily though I do have some 18s in my garage that I'm gonna try on and see how they look.

Thanks! Yeah wheels I'm not sure on, I have some W212 two tones in my garage I may put on but I don't mind the current wheels style. Only the fact they are just about an inch or two, too small.

As far as I'm aware nothing changed in regards to sizing. So the coupe grill should fit on your car. I ordered it as a part from my dealer also.

Well everyone, here is an updated pic with the new wheels. The wheels were installed about 2 months ago and draw lots of attention. They are MBSport accessories wheels that are sized for a W212 E Class.

I'll update pictures of the back later with the black badges, then more front pics after I finish the glossifier on the black plastidip in the center, and some clear plastidip on top of the chrome pieces.

Thanks! Can't wait to see the 507 graphics! To upload pics I use tinypic and make the pictures the message board size and then use the message board link it gives you.

Also that's awesome to have more girls on the forums. I think too many of us guys forget that so many girls also love cars.

hey guys,

saw this thread and got thrilled. I also plasti dipped my c250. Im thinking of tinting my windshield tomorrow. suggestions on whether or not I should do 50 or 35%? See pic below. The only thing I did different now, is the tint on the side markers I removed and plasti dipped instead.

Mine looks very similar to Rodpwnz!

Thanks all
