Traded my '05 E320CDi with 150k on the odometer for a '12 E350. Like the styling of the 320 a little better, but I like the amenities of the 350 a lot more. Only 25k miles and felt I got treated well in the deal. The only issue I had was that their detailer fell asleep on the buffer and there were marks all thru the paint. I was up front from the start that it would need a full correction, and they agreed. (I was skeptical) Anyway, they had the car for a few days and I when I picked it up it look pretty good. I removed all their product with Dawn dishwashing liquid and brought it out in the sun. Then it looked fantastic. A couple coats of Collonite 845 and she was protected and looking great. Gave up a few miles on the highway miles, but I'm doing as good, if not better around town. The '05 needed front struts, a new glow plug controller, and who knows about the SBC, so I thought the timing was right.
I don't see too many wagons... but I needed the room! It's a 2012 with only 16.5k miles, premium 2 and night view assist plus. I love everything but the boring color! (No contrast with the chrome.) Now I just have to sell my '04 CLK500 cabriolet.
Few Pics of What I have done so far and not much more will be done except for wheels and trim around the doors.
1 Tinted windows
2 Changed side markers to smoked
3 Plasti dipped grill and all emblems with clear coat on top
4 Trunk and Roof spoilers - trunk is car colour 755 and Roof is 040 Black as I have panoramic roof - Install of spoilers was - 20 min if anyone is interested
5 wheels in the near future 5 star deep concave - 20 inch
Just wanted to ask if your wheels are flush with fenders and what width of tires you are running and a pic of the side if possible, thx- Like the clean look - very sharp - nice choices. looks very nice

yes the front wheel are flush to fenders but rear I need to put maybe a 5-10mm spacer to get that flush look (square setup 20x9 +35)
Hey guys, bought some Niche Essen 20'. Now I'm really confused on what I should do next. Idk if I wanna black the whole thing out or what. Some opinions on what I should do next would be much appreciated.
^car looks good but seems like you have a camber issue on the rear(?) wouldnt be a bad idea to black out your chrome trims since youve got an all black wheels. try dipping it so you can remove it if youre not happy.

Yeah actually the steering wheel likes to shake a lot when i brake. Thanks for pionting that out to me i will have that checked right away. The only thing i am afraid of is it not completely match the glossy black but I'll definitely consider it. Appreciate the feed back man thanks a lot

it wont match the gloss black on your car although with plastidip, you can have the option to have it dull or paint it with clear to get the glossy effect.
