My blacked-out E320
Hi guys, just wanted to show all of you my ride. I am member here for quite a while and i love this forum. Everything useful about our rides can be found here. Thanks for that.
Here are couple of pictures of my ride, i have already done some mods to it, including a fresh new paint. Sorry for the crappy iphone pics, i will take a photoshoot in a short time.
Tell me what you guys think
Here's a picture of the car, when i bought it 3 months ago. It looked terrible from the outside, but was just like brand new from inside with low milage. And you just don't say no to the price, which i have been offered.
And here comes the better outfit for my baby
And here are pictures of my previous baby, also a benz, W202 C240 :
I really love the new baby, its completely a different level.

IF you really want to you could do everything yourself except the wheels. The wheels are probably around $100 a piece and I have been quoted around $300 for the head lights. Everything else you could pretty much DIY

Brother...I appreciate anyone who puts the time and effort into making their car the best it can be for them. You have made a plain E320 into a ride that is aggressive but not overly gaudy...props to you on a very sharp ride.

It's pretty much DIY. You need a heatgun, to pull the front plastic off the headlights, some people claim, that you can put it into oven, but i was affraid of it, so instead, i used a heatgun. Carefully pull off the front plastic, when the glue is hot enough. Then, you will need to remove the chrome from the housing, its a bit tricky, since there is only one torx on the bottom and everything else is glued. Then just get all the parts painted and reassembly the headlight. I painted also the ring, around high beams, and also the ring around foglights.
And thanks, thinking about also smoking the mirror turn signals.

Great DIY, what did you use to glue the housing back together

If you are carefull, there is way too much glue all around, so just put everything together, press the plastic back to the housing with good pressure and get the metal clips back. Then simply heat it with a heatgun or hairdryer again and press everything together, that should be enough. I just put a bit of glue that is used to glue windshields in places where i removed some of the old one.
It takes some times, but it is really easy.

That front light tint and black grille look super hot on this car.
Where did you get the Tint done (on the headlights), and what kind of Tint film, etc.?

Thanks. ^^
I'd love to put a verrrry light Tint on my headlights, but it seems they don't even make tint light enough (that pic you posted is pretty much spot on though). And I really don't want to sacrifice even an ounce of light output, which I'm assuming, even the lightest tint would do.
