Matte grey looks great on W211s. That would be my vote

I like black, white, matte white, or matte grey. Neutral colors look great on the E-Class, and more recently white is beginning to grow on me...

Needed change

The last car I had was a 530d e60 which I painted white so I didn't want another white car,I do agree tho that pearl white w211 is unbelievable but they are two very different cars,mine is costing me about 5k including car ,kit and wheels,that white car looks like it cost around 40k

Looks good overall man, I wish you were in the US so I could do some paint work on my car with you, keep up the pics. Maybe do a photoshoot where we can see a nice post-processed image of the car and its new color.

For sure man, can't wait to see it come together.

More than anything about living in the UK -> petrol prices, from what I know it's insane compared to what we pay here in the states. Paying the equivalent of £2.65 here is considered painfully high (at least in Colorado).

So are those VW wheels a direct bolt on?

I think they're the same 5x112 bolt pattern.
