Anyone got any pics of chrome headlight rings on an E Class? How do they look?

Well DrNick, I got me a black one. I think they'll look good too. Hope they're not too flash for black.

STKLAW, your "**** rig" is already too flashy for most residents of Kansas. I don't think more chrome will really matter. Shoulda bought yerself a beige Buick Park Avenue, now that theres a classy car

Fuzzo-

I wish it were an E55 but alas just a pedestrian E430 Sport. As soon as I hear from the Ring guy I'm going to pull the trigger on a set of chrome ones. Now I just have to decide whether to replace the grill with one that has the star in the middle. Any thoughts anyone?

I found it on page 10 but it says they are for the "NEW" E-Class. In 2000 they changed the slope of the front of the hood. I wonder if that makes a difference?

I think they are all the same from 96 through 02. They probably mean new body (w210) compared to the older version E class. Before I bought my 2000 new, I was considering a preowned 1997 and the front end looked the same to me.

You have to look close. But the 2000+ have more slope to the hood.

Thanks JamE55 and STKLAW, glad that you guys like it.

It's a 2000 obsidian black with black int.

STKLAW,

I think you can find the rings on e-bay. They go around about $50ish. Take a look.
