Help me refresh this E300TD please

Looking to 'refresh' my wife's E 300TD Wagon - any suggestions?
Avantgarde grille?
Any other ideas?
TIA.

body kits?

You could upgrade to the factory/AMG sport package, with the front/rear bumpers and side skirts, that might spice it up a bit. I've generally been against tricking a car out too much, it usually hurts the class factor of the car. Maybe upgrade to xenon headlamps or the avantgarde tail lights...

I like the Chrome headlight rings on a dark E-Class.

Like other suggestions , put the front avantgarde grille, lower it a bit , install the newer version avantgarde tailights and if you want buy another front lights glasses I mean the glass of the light, i also bought that now and will be installing it next week , since the OEM ones are a little bit used

roof spoiler

That roof wing they make for the wagons makes it look pretty sporty, kinda steering you away from the total soccer mom look, although you'll never get totally away

Many thanks to all who posted,

First stage is definitely the grille, then maybe the lights and

headlight rings.

BTW, what's a soccer mom? School run thing? That's what the car

is, a 7 seat school bus. I have to check the door pockets for

discarded food.

Did you know McDonalds stuff goes hard, but never mouldy?

Scary.

Thanks again.

Thanks,

The colour was called Azurite Blue in the UK. Not sure if it had the same name in NA, they sometimes vary. Think it may still be available on some cars, but the new colour is called Tansanite, or Capri in NA. Its darker.

BTW, it has been 100% reliable over 4 years 40+k miles, just paid for service and tyres - plan to keep it longterm, hence the idea of a little refreshing.

Thanks again and good luck.
