Here she is, I posted about receiving it a couple months ago, but just now got around to taking some pictures of it. Its Flint grey/charcoal with the appearance and sunroof package. It has 20%tint and a couple other things done by me, see if you can pick anything out. The not so obvious is the audible locking/unlocking is deactivated and the seat belt warning is also turned off.

I also did the detail job and the pics were shot with a Canon powershot SD500.

that car is gorgeous. i love pictures of nice cars in junky backgrounds...lol it kinda makes the car look even better

csumt76

Thanks man... I love it. 2300 trouble free miles so far. I like these two shots right here.

Very nice color. I love it. Nice detail work you did there too.

looks great. what kind of tints are those on the windows?

steph280

I love this color so much, I bought one with the same color!

My looks almost identical to yours, not as clean of course.

Beautiul car!

Kaggz- the tint was done by the "Tint Shop." I'm not sure what brand the tint is but it is just regular non-metallic 20% film all the way around. I don't like a lot of attention, I can roll the window down if I want to be seen.

steph- thanks. I learned a few detailing tips from a pro detailer friend of mine. I can't stand a dirty car. I am fully equipped at the house, so my wheels are clean and my paint looks/feels like glass.

looking good man, needs some rims but it looks clean like it is.

You have just got to love the Flint/Charcoal combo. I think the Flint is one of the most unique colors for the W211 in a while; it always seems to be a different color depending on the weather conditions. I just wish it would not rain for one weekend so I can clean mine up and take some pics. I'll second the comment regarding the tint, very classy.

[MB]CRS,

Sweet looking ride, real clean. I had to look real hard but I finally found one of your body mods. In the picture taken at the Shipping/Receiving dock, if you look real close you can see that you dented your right/rear quarter just above the tail lens. I hope you take her to a qualified bodyshop for the repairs, you just can't fill the dent with Bondo on a car like this. That wouldn't be right.

KSS.......... hmmmm. How is everything over there?

How well do they pay you as a service tech to be able to afford a brand new car like that? I wonder if all dealers pay that well.. I get the impression there here in AZ the guys working there are hardly able to make a payment on a used Dodge truck...

Beautiful car btw... love those rims.. and the color.

I notice the white turn signal indicators in the headlamp assembly.

We're lost without you

What's for lunch??

csumt76

I was doing alright, but being young and single definitely makes it a lot easier. We always had plenty of work to do.

csumt76

Actually, the lights are factory. The only external mods i attempted were removing the badges on the trunk, removing the sticker in the front glass, and lowering the car slightly.

I'm thinking about some illuminated door sills and a set of wheels... from wheelexperts.

csumt76

SouthPort???????? Yea!!

Lost? It cant be that bad....

MB Fanatic

Car looks great, it would look drop dead gorgeous with some SL65 AMG rims. Also go for the illuminated door sills. the car will look even better, trust me.

csumt76

Now that is an interesting idea. That is the one factory wheel that I seem to have overlooked... I just wish it had a little more offset in the rear.

yeah Hotdogs!!!!!

Verey nice color those are the best looking wheels that come on a benz imo

CE750

MB Fanatic

I think we get them polished here as well. I know I have seen a few that are like that.
