Been a while I since last posted here, though I'd do a little update with new pics. A friend of my brother's took these pics a few weeks back.
Not a whole lot has changed since I got the car. I got some tyres and rims for Summer and painted the roof black, which I thought turned out way better than I had expected. Everyone I knew pretty much insisted I'd paint it black (since mine didn't have a panorama roof) since day one, but I had my doubts.
These photos really remind me that I have to buy myself a fish-eye lens.

Great shots JRNO.
The finish on your car is stunning. Did you do anything special to it to get it looking so good?
Which white is that? Over here the standard white is called "Arctic White" and the upgrade is "Diamond White Metallic."
Enjoy.

The color is your usual 'Calcitweiss' (which I suppose is the same as the US 'Arctic White'), and the roof was painted piano black. Same as the details on the mirrors, so nothing incredibly fancy.
I don't think there were any special tricks for the finish, it just looks the way it is

I've had it now fo 7 months with no marks and it still looks like the day I picked it up. I wash the car every week myself and clean the seats with a damp towel. I do wear jeans at times with no problems.

Sorry to bother, what size rims are on you car, with what size tires "also", are you on lowered springs? I really like the look...

Ruben's ECoupe 250CDI
This is the ECoupe from a dear friend of mine. It's a 250CDI manual transmission, with AMG Package. The color is Calcite White, with interior leather in black. Boot and roof spoiler by MercedesSport, E500 tips, difuser and exhaust system. The windows are tinted. AMG 19''. In front bumper a lip-like vynil wrapped. CCoupe 63 AMG brake kit in red.
This car is a head-turner, and goes as well, the engine have a lot of torque(500Nm-stock). And it's for sale...
Photosession and shopped by me.
Hope U like it.

Congrats to you too! Just as well, I'm having them tint it after they prep and clean it - giving some time for the tint to settle - it'll keep me from wanting to drop all the windows and go open air like the cabrio boys... 
No decent weather till next weekend anyways... Best holiday wishes! M.

We were going to have the MBZ dealer do the tint, but Texas law requires all "screening" (tint) to show a sticker on the driver's side window certifying that the tint is according to Law.
It'll be tinted after the vehicle is home.

Small trade-off for the excellent gun laws our states both have. I’m having’m do 20%; it’s what factory was on the back windows of my GLK. The dealer did the fronts and it was a deadnut match.
Holiday wishes to you
