I love the simple mods so far, looks perfect

 

i have a good feeling i just wasted a few bucks but live & learn! thats why i wont be selling my hood star

actually it came complete with the frame too. don't have much use for it, thought about trying to sell it but for what, a few bucks? might as well toss it. i used to love blacked out everything but now im really into the black/chrome contrast otherwise i would had done mine like yours! all preference brotha, both look good still.

haha i plead the fifth. okay im kidding yeah he's the only dude that seems to have these and ive noticed nobody was ever going to pay $300 for them. I started with $150, then $200, then finally he accepted my 3rd attempt. I figure i can at least sell my tails for $75, the corners for a few bucks and the grill insert as well. Not a huge deal for rarity but some will call me crazy.

Thanks brotha! im big into simple & clean. all i need are those brabus mono 3 piece or some 18 mono's

 

and by the way youre totally right. cross my fingers nothing ever happens to them! the candy red paint crossed my mind and nobody would probably be able to tell the difference, except my stubborn head haha, had to get the real thing!

 

ok stop! stop! stop! I was in the middle of a beautiful dream... a world without fire breathing C63s, no cars with more than 300hp... it was beautiful... I was making lots of dough... I had a 1991 Ford Taurus SHO... then a 190E and a E320, then a C280... oh yeah the 90's...ok, going back to sleep...

 

Let me know when you do, I like to join the C43 party

 

I need the corners, found OEM clear for $60 including install, I think I'll do them this Saturday. The rubber seal though seems to be a bit dry and brittle... what did you pay?

 

I completely agree with you in regards to the real deal! The tails do look great and remember to make certain to hold them in place when fastening them. It would be a shame if one were to hit the pavement during installation. Car is looking stellar and only going to get better with the added tails.

 

thats a good idea!

came in from the UK so it was $60 shipped to my door

Thanks! corners couldn't had been easier. i had my tools all ready and when i realized all you do it pop the hood and squeeze a clip i facepalmed. Im sure the tails will at least require a few tools

 

cleans up real nice. loving the w210 grill & amber corners. my euro tails should be here anyday and my replacement trunk badges as well as my flat hood badge.

 

Keep it coming nice. When is the SoCal Meet up?? hopefully before the end of the year

 

sounds good im in ! well have to put something together.

 

just when i finally got my all red euro tail lights shipped from germany and took almost 3 weeks they show up ****ing chipped!! The sale said brand new and the photos showed zero signs of damage. they were packaged extremely well so im starting to think the guy just keeps pictures of perfect tail lights up when the items being shipped are possibly different ones. Its a shame since these are soo rare and i was looking forward to putting them on. now im unsure if i want something less then perfect on my car, almost doesnt do it justice! Time to open a claim on ebay !!

 

sorry you got hussled.
did you check sellers feedback score?
did he have negative feedback from other buyers?

if you paid with Paypal make a claim that he scammed you item description not being accurate.

 

Yeah there were 2 negative remarks to which one of the two were deleted by ebay? over 2k in positive feedbacks. everything under his items for sale are all super rare stuff so i figured nothing to worry. Going to see what he says first before i file a claim but luckily i did pay via paypal. i paid way too much for these which makes it worse but i figured where else would i find a real set of em.

 

found you these

im really confused because this is the exact same pictures used from the guy i bought mine from. he responded today saying he has brand new spare lenses and will replace my damaged one. this is what i bought

http://www.ebay.com/itm/400280032748...84.m1497.l2649

 

it's da same guy from my link but there was no negative feedback he had 100% pos feedback

 

now i get it. he has two diff accounts. germany & u.s seller accounts under different names. well at least he said hell send me another replacement immediately so i dont have to wait. Although im a little unsure how i feel about having to pay for shipping to return the damaged one after how much money i already gave him for the lights. i know usually you eat the shipping but damn, considering how much i blew on these things!

 

tell him nicely the first time, you will give him negative feedback if he doesn't refund you the shipping cost!
he ran a scam on the first set, this was all planned from him!
now you have to pay return shipping for damaged part, that's not fair.
if he's a gentleman and cares about positive feedback he'll tell you to keep the broken part or refund you the return shipping?
good luck

 

Are those even tinted? Eh...I way prefer the original US spec tail lights, but to each his own.

 

im all for rarity. as you can tell these euro spec just eliminate the majority of the white all thru the middle.

 

i will definitely say that once i receive the new part. dont want to **** this guy off and not get my replacement. once ive gotten it and its as he says it will be, i will hit him with the comping my return shipping. good idea, thanks

 

I absolutely love what you've done with this car. Bravo!

 

Got my stock tail lights for sale on another thread. The guy from Germany supposedly sent a replacement lense but i havnt seen anything show up and its been a month. I just put the chipped one on my car anyways, at this point what can i do?
