Looks good. And WOW where did you get those wheels? For how much? and the sizes??

I need some wheels like that since I wanna make my car look like

eXpLiCitW210

They are Brabus Monoblocks, front is 20x8.5 with 225/35/20 tires and the rear are 20X10 with 245/35/20 all wrapped with Nitto tires.

Very nice, Im thinking about doing mine, what did it cost to get done?

Wow, 245's on 10" wheels ?! Isn't that stretching it out a bit too much? 265 is pushing it on 10" and I wouldn't be too comfortable with 225 on 8.5" wheels either. How is the drive with these sizes? Be careful not to lose a tire aroung a turn. Is there any way to fit wider tires or will they rub?

Need more pics though and the black wheels on your car in that one little pic do look tight!

I PAINTED SIDE SKIRTS MYSELF DUDE, THE COLOR IS ULTRA SILVER FROM DUPLI-COLOR. MATCHES UP EXACTLY TO THE SILVER E-CLASS.

YA IT IS A BIT STRETCHED BUT IT STILL LOOKS GOOD AND RIDES FINE. I THINK IF I GO ANY WIDER I MIGHT RUB SO IM PLAYING IT SAFE.

Iv'e been wanting to get mine painted so badly for the longest time. Want to show me how you did yours? :$

I'm gonna do the side skirts and bumbers on my 290T Avantgrde next week if I get the paint today

If you're handy with a rattlecan and clear coat paint and polishing afterwards you can do it yourself. I'm redoing most of my pitted front bumper myself, part by part...

Well i used the blue painters tape and taped off where the 2 colors meet. Its pretty much straight so its really easy. Just make sure you tape everything off really well. Scrub and clean it real well and let dry. First spray with a good primer (gray color) use about 3 coats. Then you are ready for Paint, make sure that you have matching colors. You can remove you gas lid to match the color when you are shopping for the paint. Then spray about 3 coats or 4 of paint. Be careful not to drip. Let it dry for about 1 hour then you can spray about 4 coats of clear coat. Once that dries your are pretty much done! You can polish or buff it if you want, but since they are the side skirts i didnt want them that shiny, so i didnt buff them. Still looks good though. Hope this helped a bit. take care.

I'm using color-coded MOTIP carpaint, but it states to put the clearcoat on 30mins after the final coat of color so that they can bond optimally...

Did you prime over the origenal paint? And why did you paint your bumper? bumper scuffs?

I'm planning on doing mine, has a few bumper scuffs and nicks from nondrivers *******s trying to park infront of, or behind me.

would like to see some pics of your final job! looks good though.

Lancelot

The parts I did already was because of bumper scuffs and a few pits. No priming, I just clean the original paint by wiping it with thinner. Only use thinner when you're about to repaint cuz it'll permanently dull your original paint! Ayways the grille-area of my bumper is badly pitted and now it really stands out against the shiny new painted parts. If the weather stays good today I might get around painting some more...if so I'll post pics.

i had mine painted, the surface isn't exactly paint friendly and it is starting to flake off.
