The lights you are talking about are real cheap quality. Stick with OEM.

Important question

Thanks a lot !!! Have any of you seen the Expression body kits for the W211? Want to buy the lips to add on but don't know if they really look good.

Lower that car!!

Also, if you don't mind another idea, drop the grill for an OEM painted one, and get a nicer flat badge. THEN YOU WILL BE ROCKING!!!!

What size / kind of rims?

Not too big. I just hate the look of the star in the center. Also, I don't like the quality up close.

I prefer to take the OEm one and paint it. I like the blacked out look, bt hate that center star on the E.

What tires you running on the 10 inch rears? What's the offset? Any rubbing?

Looks good.

Actually the blacked out look is the way to go huh.....I still have the OEM ones, will think about that. Thanks.

At the back I'm running 275/30. Runs really nice. I fine that the 20's are too big and you can't drive too hard because the ride feels like ****.

I will take better pics of the rim tommorow. The offset I believe is 5 X 112

5X112 is the bolt pattern. The offset would be different and measured in mm.

What model is that? Look to see if your OEM grill has the black slats or gray. If black (like on the E55s), then all you need to do is remove the chrome piece and paint it. Makes for a good look. I love the black out look.

The model is E 320. My car originally had the grey slats. When you say remove the chrome piece, you mean the chrome frame that goes around the OEM grill?

Yes. You want to paint it or both pieces separately, or it will look cheap.

Another option is to buy an OEM E55 grill which has the black plastic and just paint the chrome portion.

So the OEM grill for the E55 will definitely fit right! Because I think I'm going to change that grill. I always thought that it wasn't looking too good and i like the real performance look.
