wow, that car looks clean, looks like it just came off the showroom floor.

A few subjective observations, get rid of the blue bulbs, it just does not look OEM. the smoke corners are ok, but the pure white corners with orange bulbs would look far more OEM.

Other then that looks good. Black on two/tone is a gorgeous combo, looking for the same thing in W208 CLk55, not easy combo to find. great job.

honestly I hate the wheels, looks so much better with original wheels, if they were 18s it would look even better

looks ok.. must be a pain to clean those bolts . those oz's have almost the same profile as the monoblocs.. but have to agree that 18 monoblocs do look nice

u could go with silver bulbs that are orange only when on.

I hope that motor shot is from 98'-99' as it looks new. Even the ign. wires look new. What did you use to clean your motor
