That totally sucks! Wonder why? White Es looks so nice...as you see throughout the forum, some of the nicer ones are white! (although I still have a soft spot for black )

i know! i prefer white too. when i was shopping for this car, the dealer only had silver and black. actually i wanted grey or white, but grey was nowhere to be found at the time, and getting a white E is like winning a lottery here, i didn't want to wait for another shipment. black is too difficult to take care of in dirty places (i.e. where i am), so i had to go for silver. i've had too many silver cars in my life.

i envy those with white Es in the forum. with black trims and rims, they look so hot!

have you ever considered paint your car in white and it'll be extremely unique in china. you might want to do it before the labor cost goes higher than the states .

I just peeled off the protective tape and applied pressure . These came with double sided tape .
Square box is my portable phone and my mp3 player hooked up to it , I listened to Florrie (let's add here lol ) when I tackled these badges

Nothing escapes your attention my dear friend

that really reminds me of couple of my friends. one of them uses those office use clear chairmats in his car and worst of all, he doesn't even drive it . either uses his wife's company car or asks someone to pick him up. what's the point for him to get a car anyway . the other guy is better but not by much. he pretends he doesn't care craps about his car in front of everybody but his wife said he parks his car miles away just to avoid door dings when nobody's around him. his wife is always complaining about how far she and the kids have to walk back to the car even there are stalls right in front of the stores . it's good and understandable to take good care of your car but why don't you just do this in front of everybody as well? no one is going to tease you because of you take good care of your properties. he, too, doesn't peel off those protecting wraps and instead of using seat covers, he simply put couple used t-shirts on . unreal, huh ?

These guys are incredible . I namely find it strange using used t-shirts to wrap the seats . Thanks for the laugh
BTW, I have just got my original E63 AMG steering wheel , I think I need to post a new thread for it

i know. not only the t-shirts, he keeps all the floor mats from his previous cars. a set for himself, a set for his wife, a set for his parents and so forth. so cars from his family can never get correct fitted mats .

saw the steering wheel pic and it's sexy !

OMG, this guy is incredible lol
I can't imagine what would happen if he traded his cars every year . To make it more spicy, he would change his pedals to fancy ones, so are the wheels for his cars, black door pins to chrome door pins and things like these
He would need a depot to store all the stuff ha ha

Thanks for your message on the other thread I posted , I will keep you updated when the install is complete

Traded in the C63 for something more practical as a daily driver, pretty sad but I'll make the best of it. 2012 Arctic White E350 with Sports Package.

2 days in my possession & so far I've tinted her with SolarGard 13% all around (Tint Connection, Costa Mesa) & had 6,000 Kelvin H7 35W Slim Ballast Kit + Capacitors & 2 Canbus T-10/194 5SMD Directional LEDs for the driving lights (HIDMasters, Huntington Beach).

Also have bumper plugs ordered to cover up the ugly front plate holes & clear bumper lights via Ebay on the way.

On the fence about the tint, I think it's a bit too dark. I had the same before on my C63, which was obsidian black, but for some reason it looks too dark for me on the white.

Apologies on the pic sizes, can't quite figure out why photobucket won't let me size it down.
