My latest little mini mod...

Painted bumper markers.... woot woot!!! They painted the W211 E55 at the bodyshop where i work at today and it was the same 744 silver as my C32 so i took off my bumper lights and told the painter to paint and clearcoat them anyways!!! I love the flushed look....

The next thing i am considering on doing is painting the black inserts on my front hood grille 744 silver!!! Id do that to the black inserts of the CL type grille if I had one.. ::cough cough formymercedes.com cough cough::

You dont have to paint the grille silver, just buy the one from the '05 C320, it comes with silver or black.
