Oh yes, saw that.....verrrrry nice but there's lots more potential for mods Its exactly what I want to do, get one with an AMG (or an AMG) to start off with, then add some more personal touches......only in white.

Congrats on the shift...but just curious, did you do anything with the 210 when you had it?

Alexbenz? Can't believe he advised you that but if you were contemplating trading-in the car, why do it? I think its not only me who's spent money modding, to only decide shortly after that mods will never satisfy our appetite for something different and hence off we go to the dealer........I need to stop putting money into my 210

To be frank, if I may, although those chromed style IIIs are nice and suits the car, I think one will get tired of them very soon and you'll want bigger more sophisticated wheels. Your 211 deserves it (kinda like something is out of place, know what I mean?), so if you're gonna do it, do it soon when their new so you get a good trade-in, just my $0.02

I have to agree with Rich,,after all its like finding a new P@@@y(the thrill of the hunt and all that good sh4t),,and in the end it's only money and we'll make more.It is fun to add all the toys,at a reduced rate,if you know what I mean.Dave,,,does it have to be white? My .02 but when I look at my buddy's' 03 e500 and my ride together,I see a traditional style that wont be repeated,and something else.
