Justed Washed and Added Clear Corners

Adding the clear corners was easy. Just becareful not to chip your paint with the screwdriver when popping the old ones out.

Look at the front bumper's chrome rub strips from the side on his car pic. The front reflector/marker lights visible from the side on your car have Amber lenses (OEM), he pried his lenses out & replaced them with chear (white) reflector/marker light lenses. European E's not have any lights/reflectors there. They were mandated in the early '70s by the US DOT so that even with headlights off on a car you could tell which way the car was heading from a dead side view because the front side marker lights are always yellow and the rear side marker lights are always red. Car Manufacturers have cut costs on installing additional rear marker lights by wrapping the tail lights or front parking lights around to the sides on some models.

Those corners only look good to me in Silver. Other than that, i like the clean look (Euro panels).

Just lower it a touch and it will be there.

I dunno, not really feeling the clears anymore. B4 I'd do it just because, but I kinda like the orange in the front. Doesn't look as bland.

LOL...and for me, i think all silver/gray cars should have clear or lightly smoked
corners. the orange draws attention to a plastic part, whereas the clear/smoked
allows it to sit quietly in the corner waiting to make an appearance when needed.

Looks good. Where did you get them? Do they have them for my CLK?

I have an 07 Black E 5th Avenue Edition (has AMG styled bumpers and wheels from the factory). Would these clear corners look good on my E?
