Hi everyone ...I'm a proud new owner of a 2012 White E350! Some of you may have seen my posts in my other thread "pulled the trigger on a 2012 e350" but I wanted to start another one for WHITE W212s and their mods!! (pics would be nice). Just want to have an idea of what other members have done to their white Es and hopefully help other members who may be wondering the same. Ready..go!!!

PS. I haven't got a chance to take pics of mine because of weather. :/ Can't wait till it's sunny to do a little photo shoot!

 

Illuminated the center star in the Grill
Installed illuminated sills on car
Installed in dash radar detector with laser diffuser
Chrome door handle inserts
Replaced all pedals on drivers side with Diamond plate
Modified ash tray to accept I phone
Installed MB license plate bolts
Installed MB tire caps

 

So far the only mod I did are OEM rubber floor-mats. they are awesome.

 

Nice!! I'm curious... what exactly did you do to your ash tray??

 

Yes sir!!! I already ordered mine on amazon for a lot cheaper! I think the dealer charges $110 or something like that for a set of 4.

 

I painted mine Grey. The whole thing.

 

lol

 

basically I took off the chrome around top and lined the bottom with leather and installed new chrome on top hopefully the attachments work

 

Very interesting and nicely done!

 

If you want to see the other modifications go into my site and look into my posts

 

Just did...nice stuff man!!

 

I bought the car for the wife. She said it is to computerized and she does not want a car that talks to her. Made me keep her old Cadillac. I am used to restoring old cars so I will continue tinkering with the MB. My next project will be a dash camera installed next to the rear view mirror. Most of the modifications like the sun Glass holder that replaces the handle above the drivers door I had to get from Canada because you cannot get it in the good old USA. Some of the other mods I got directly from Germany. I do not know why they are not available in the USA.

 

Here is mine

You know I'm really interested on doing the dash camera. only thing is I already installed my radar by the rearview mirror and Ezpass on the other side

I saw the whole thread ...nice man! You just confirmed debadging the trunk makes the car look so much cleaner!!! What do you think about painting the lower front bumper lip black (middle part)?? I've seen some Es and many white Cs with this simple cosmetic mod but trying to make up my mind.

 

You could always wrap it with black vinyl (my preference) or plasti-dip it to try out the look.

 

I'm going to plasti dip it first now. I do want the shiny glass look of vinyl tho!!

 

my previous plasti dip E

 

Wow that's exactly how I want mine to look!!! how did you finish the front lip? There isn't any gaps where plastidip would normally break. If I use painters take for the line then when I'm finished with all the coats, the tape will peel with the dip.

 

 

What exhaust setup are you running? Got rear shots?

 

Nice!!! I see what you did there with your grille. I just cant wait to get my tints and roof spoiler next week! Tinted windows make such a huge difference. Btw, I love your from bumber lip...makes the E so much meaner!!

 

The car was originally black, so the lines were hardly visable. The plastidip was durable, although there was a small portion that needed work after a nasty winter.

 

meisterschaft. it was suppose to fit into the existing stock exhaust but took that out and added different tips instead

 

thanks! i'm not a big fan of the star grille but wanted something different.

 

Gotcha!! That's why vinyl is out of the picture cuz with plastidip you can retouch or do it all over again for nothing or little cost to you.

I like star grilles but not on w212. Once it gets a little warmer, I'm going to try that
