Guys I wanted to start a thread on Acc. you bolted on your W211 you regret.

For me the biggest regret is the chrome door handle covers. I got them because I have 2 kids and wife, and they all scratch the heck out of the door handle pocket, but after 1 year the chrome cover looks horrible and I rather had the finger nail scratch paint vs. the chrome covers. Plus the make they car look cheap. My bad.

Are they fastened in such a way that you can't remove them? Even if they are glued on, and removing them would leave messed-up paint, perhaps a body shop could repaint the area under the door handles? A repaint job in those areas wouldn't have to be perfect. Even if they are held on with screws, a body shop should be able to fill the holes and repaint ... just a thought.

I always wondered who buys those handle inserts and the headlight rings.

I made the amatuer mistake of buying the ebay exhaust tips. Needless to say, they came off after a week and are now collecting dust in my garage.

If they're glued on, there's a good chance they can be removed with no damage to the paint. After they're removed, you can have the 3M clear plastic product installed (made by Armourfend and others). A detailing shop that installs the 3M would most likely be able to remove your chrome covers. Good luck.

More importantly, why don't we post pictures of what NOT to do!

Great reverse thinking thread you've got started here~
