Exclamation E55 Facelift ... DONE! (PICS)

So i've done the following over the past month to tend to my 2004 E270CDI Sedan:

1. E500 Climate Controls ( with LCD )
2. New Headlight Switch (Anthracite)
3. New AMG Floor Mats RHD
4. New Indicator stalk as old one stopped functioning
5. E55 Front, Rear, Side Skirts ( Painted ) .. colour is slightly off, however thats the best they could do :S
6. OEM E55 Exhaust tips (Weld on)
7. Rear boot Lip
8. New Parktronic sensors for front
9. Full Clean
10. LED Parkers, H7 4300K HID's
11. Painted Brake Callipers Gloss Black
12. Installed Illuminated door sills.

Still have to refurbish the headlights and get the car fully detailed.

Had the mufflers cut out and it sounds fantastic, no drone or anything like that, just a really deep rumble sound on med-hard acceleration. Highly recommend it!!

Your lighting sucks but, from what I can see your ride turned out very nice!

Looks good, I would go carbon fiber instead of wood.

I tried carbon fibre on my old ML in the hot weather it started to bubble and eventually peeled off

Maybe ill have better luck this time?

Cheers guys

Yeah, i imported it from Taiwan, i actually ordered the E55 bumpers however they sent me this one.

So it's a bit of the mix of the E63 and the E55 bumper, i don't really mind it.

I thought the E55 had wider fenders then the E500 and E320. How did the rear and front bumpers fit flush? Did you have to do any modifications for fitting and install?
