.... nothing to brag about, it is a previous model....
Front Bumper
Front Grill
Fog light
Front fog light bracket
Front bumper mash guard
Front headlight
Front impact stripe
Front turn signal cover

Side skirt
Rear bumper.
Quad exhaust tip

Set of new 18"+ wheel.
Set of new larger rotor (if not, it will look quite hallow and empty)

Paint job and installation.

That's all I can think of now...
( I suspect you wouldn't get more than 20% back on your appearance investment after one year, if you decided to sell it. And most likely less than 10% back after w212 introduced after 2 years.)

Thats basically all you need BUT do not add by all means an E55 badge after the install and you will be good..
