Very nice! It's the sedan version of my car now (of course you have the nicer headlights and staggered rims).

How did you polish it?

Very nice, not too keen on the all blacks on silver cars but your polished lip is awesome!! Along with the clear side bumper repeaters it really changes the look.

What % are your tints?

I used aircraft paint remover from wall mart and applied it only to the lip, then i just pressure washed it off. I didnt even polich the aluminum, it just came out almost like chrome

. Your wagon inspired me haha, guess we inspire eachother haha

Good work! Well, once you start modding, it's hard to stop. In my case, I like doing inexpensive but tasteful mods. Anyway, can't wait for the next improvement. The rims look great (the mesh was my first choice!).

1999 E320 & 2008 S550 Designo

Both versions has it's own appeal..but seems like

the polished lip looks better on the w210. The all black look is more stealthy for a 2 door sport car.
The law has not bothered you with your tints? I was thinking about having my w210 tinted but years ago I was pulled over by CHP and got a fix it ticket for front tints...thus left me a bad experience. If I tint ,I would do all windows...looks better that way.
