E 420
Nip and tuck my baby

Ok guys I did it I dropped of my e420 to get the front end hooked up I'm having the front fenders rolled and maybe grinded and reshaped I wanna drop the car 2 inches but I cant because of my 20 inch wheels so hopefully when I get it back I will be able to lower it. I'm getting the front clip,bumper,hood and fenders painted just to freshen up the front end. I read a post a long time ago about aftermarket fenders that came flared and rolled (similar to the fenders on newer BMW's) If they do exist where can I find them??? Oh has anyone invested on the aftermarket mirror covers I see on ebay (the ones with the blinkers) any problems with them?

Woweee, going for a pimpin reggae wide-body look, eh? I've only ever seen the wide body fender kits in Japanese magazines...never on this forum.

Are you talking about these mirror covers? Haven't heard any probs, I think people just prefer OEM over aftermarket....

Ive got those aftermarket covers. they look 100% better than the plain covers worth the money for the results IMO. I would still prefer 00-03 mirrors.

had to glue the the flasher lense to seal it wasnt sealed properly. no big deal super glue did the trick. body shop charged $50.00 to paint

I agree, Alex has a point here but I think the E could do with a slight fender flare for a bit of "beefiness". Seen it done quite tastefully on a few E's in Japan. Fender flares can be added/customized to your original fenders at body shops I believe, if all you want is a bit more clearance. But you may need to go with wider wheels or a wider offset for it to look good.

Thats the only one I have right now but I'll be taking some real explicit ones when I get her back from the body shop(Under the hood, from the back, I'll even get one under her skirt).
