New Look

I changed a few things and wanted to share with my fellow enthusiasts. Football was starting so I didn't have time to do the other things, but I will take some more pictures whenever I get around to installing the rear spacers and lowering module so I can drop it a little bit more.

Thanks

That's what my wife says. She always tells me that my car still looks new when it is clean. I agree that the 211s have aged gracefully.

The front of the W211 looks a little outdated to me honestly, but both of your E63 style bumpers help with that quite a bit. I'm falling for the look of the W212, even the pre-facelift, love the angular styling. But I agree the W211 has aged well compared to some cars!

The front of the facelift W211 is flawless and timeless, imo, namely with any AMG style bumper. Better looking than any front on a currently produced MB, imo, making them look quick to date and in some cases, straight up goofy in comparison. The W212 pre facelift front is also great looking, though harder on the eyes and less timeless compared to the W211. The facelift W212 just lost the plot.
