Now that you got rid of your black wheels, any plans to part with the darker accents (headlight tint, black badges, etc.)?

I already changed the hood star to a flat. Im also planning on changing the headlight tints to pacific blue. To match the windows. Heres one photo i took, do you reckon i should take the tint out?

Again, not my car, but just my opinion. Yes I would take off the tint and leave it that way. The black theme doesn't flow well with your new wheels IMO. Since your wheels were pretty much same finish as mine, I'll just say, I was going to add a CF lip, and CF side skirt extensions to tie in the CF diffuser I had and that was it, no more CF/black accents. The chrome trim, headlight accents, grill, badges all matched the finish of my wheels and that's how I liked it, but again, that was me, this is you.

However, your car does look MUCH better than when you had black wheels on it lol.

I dont think anyone makes one specific for a W211, but I had a local guy that was willing to make it for me. I heard you can hit up APR and get a block of CF and cut it to fit your car.

Just needs to be lowered and you're golden!

Got the tints out. It was a pita to remove. Sanded it with grit 1000 then 2000 then polished. Cant say its as good as new but youre right, a lot better without the tints. Some before and after shots...i promise to take better photos of the whole car when i get the chance.

I reckon it's about time to change your sig! I think to complete the facelifted look you'll need those DEPO headlights for the facelifted lenses.

Are you planning on tinting the windows? That would complete the look for me to go with a dark 20 to 15 % tint

For sure man, a matter of style and taste but damn does it make a difference in how hot the interior of the car gets sitting in the sun, which I'm sure you Aussies know all too well. Just curious, what are the laws on tint in AU?
