I like it.. It is an E320 (at least in Canada it would be). Here the E500 comes with the headlight sprayers.

The 20" wheels make the brake rotors look too small. The car needs to have large Brembo rotors and calipers.

not bad, but not a fan of brabus exhaust- looks like poor execution, and afterthought-tips. they just kinda hang out there, look bad from the side.

I just turned 24 too (well, like 3 years ago

). I do like the tinted taillights. I am really thinking of doing that. Anyone know if there is a reversible smoke film that I can apply?

Nice looking ride - like the wheels and the grill gives it individuality. Exhaust could be done more cleanly.
While I would not pimp my car out like that, I do like it...just a little much for my lifestyle.

It looks like someone tried to rip off an Exelero. Kind of like when someone tries to make a Kia look like a Mercedes, or slaps a fart can on a Honda and thinks it is a sports car. I don't get it

but maybe I'm just getting older.

I will never understand the need to take a perfectly well designed, masterpiece of German engineering and monkey around with it like that!

Sorry.. maybe at 36 I'm an old fogey..

The car must attract a lot of attention. Whether you want to attract a lot of attention to your Mercedes in a country with a per capita annual income of $1140 (World Bank, 2004) is another matter.
