Some pics of my E550 White/Black

Here are some quick pics of my new E550, still a work in progress (need to blackout my window trim and tint windows). Originally planned on getting a silver car and doing the blackout but this white one kinda fell into my lap.

Oh, I like.... Especially the lower front bumper, the way it looks invisible blending into the black.

Looks great, I like the grill what kind is that, keep us posted on the progress. Tinting the windows should really set it off!

I saw this car driving a week ago. It was haunting me, and I jumped on the Web, looking to see if I could magically find it posted somewhere.

In another random Thread, somehow a convo ended up linking me to believing this car belongs to one of our very Forum members.

And here I have what I was wishing for: PICTURES. Ain't the Internet age lovely?

Pics don't do this car justice! It has an epic and massive presence in real life.

Thanks for sharing man. I'm contemplating this black-out on the bottom of the bumper again (it's been an on-again-off-again relationship for like 3 months). Although, I'm still not convinced that it would look as fitted with my theme, as it does yours.

BTW, you wrapped the rear bumper to extend the black area yeah? Looks good.

Thanks man. will take some better pics when all cosmetic mods are done.
Yeah, wrapped the rear bumper to extend the black, not sure if I want to keep it that way. Still thinking about wrapping the roof in gloss black.

Blacking out the front bumper may still look good without the other blackout mods.

It's a Lorinser grille from RTW motoring in No. Hollywood, ask for Troy. This is grille is for a W212, I assume you need one for a W211.

They are new caps that color match the wheels and have a chrome MB star on them. The star kinda stands out a bit
