Quote: Yeah i love the debadged look much better. Nice and clean. Did it on my old 211 too. Even the front markers painted body color made a huge/slight difference if that makes any sense. Everyone looks at my front end and says they love it. Dont realize whats been changed right away then i point it out and they are all OHHH YEAH. They dont like the orange lights either. lol.

THe LED license plate bulbs I got from here: http://www.hid-lights.com/products/l...w/5603784W.htm

yeah rims are goin to be next just cant decide and tryin to get some hook ups too

Love the car. Dual spoilers.
I agree about the small but huge changes in changing the amber markers.

When I look at my front next to a W212 with the same exact color combo and styling package, yet amber markers, they look noticeably different to me right away. It's amazing at how far a tiny bit of "cleaning up" will go.

I'm not too big on the LED plate lights though. Although, since my car has Xenon's, it's probably the only exterior lighting area on my car that uses halogens (i.e, not that hyper/sharp LED/Xenon look), however, I'd rather not try and attract extra "look here" attention at my license plate.

H&R only has one spring for the W212 E class and changing the shocks is not needed. H&R part #52728.

Below is a link to my car after it settled. I personally feel it looks too low with the stock wheels, but should be perfect with the right 20" wheels...just haven't decided on them yet.

I had zero issues with the h&r sport springs on my w212. The ride gets slightly more harsh but is still very nice. Its not like when I've lowered other cars in the past. I had an s2000 that I lowered in coilovers and the ride was haaaarsh.
