I saw this aberration on the road and had to take a picture so that other W211 owners avoid the temptation. Here is the picture, not much more I can say.... well, gotta say I LOVE the twin side-intake whatevers on the front and lower fender..... This woman went through the COMPLETE ebay W211 Chrome catalog.... Oh what the hell, might as well: LOVE the AMG badge on the right too (it was a E350).....

LOL@ the thread title.
All this thing is missing is the Buick 3 circle thingies that people are putting on the front fenders.
On an aside, I won FIRST PLACE at the DC Designs car show this weekend for the Mercedes-Benz category.

Nice! Congrats, well deserved.
There is style (like yours) and style-boo-boos (like that schmuck's).
I went up to LA to drop off my son's car yesterday so he can drive back from college for the summer, and the wife drove the E up there, that is the pic I snapped with my phone camera and put on my sig. I could not stop looking at that a$$ for 2-1/2 hours! I was cracking up at all the guys that were catching up to her to flirt!

LOL, that is disgusting. She should be pulled over since all that chrome will reflect too much light and blind other drivers.

And that HIDEOUS CHEAP PIECE OF CRAP with all the tacky E-Bay chrome decor is some random woman who should be banned from buying anything but a 90's Japanese Econo-car, since it seems she's so hell-bent on duplicating the fashion in which they seem to be modded in.
On a side note, and out of all the atrocity manifesting on that car I don't know how this caught my attention, but does anyone else notice how that "stripe" going across the top-side doesn't even line up with the upper crease which those dumb stripes are supposed to be exactly placed on top of?

After the stupid fake side intakes, the worst is the piece around the fuel filler door, what the hell was she thinking!
Just for kicks, here is the inventory:
1- Chrome AMG replicas
2- Chrome door posts (ALL of them)
3- Chrome tail trim
4- Chrome headlamp trim rings
5- Chrome fake AMG
6- Chrome upper side intake
7- Chrome lower side intake
8- Chrome fender trim
9- Chrome mirror trim
10- Chrome door handles
11- Chrome fuel filler door trim
Feel free to add if I missed anything.
Anyone caught placing any of these items WILL be ridiculed, so consider yourselves warned

Whats even sadder about that is the original makers of all that chrome surround and trim stuff is shatztuning.de which is a germany based company. Have you seen what kind of wheels they put on Mercedes over in germany too? Nasty, they love those diablo style wheels I think it looks awful. Just because they make em there doesn't mean they all know how to mod em either.

Lol are you serious?
The worst thing on a MB is excessive chrome, some cars can sort of pass with it though I wouldn't do it myself, but anything more than OEM chrome and the car is completely ruined.
