Anybody brave enough?

Paint or wrap your e300 to look like the Vision EQS - black and silver with blue pin stripe.

Wife thinks I am crazy. I would love to see it.

Would look stupid on an E. Styling too conservative and somewhat bland body Iines. Would look like you can't afford a Maybach.

To each his own. You can try wrapping so it’s not permanent. This way you don’t have to wonder. If that’s what you like then go for it. I am pretty sure I will receive a lot of criticism for some of the things I have done to mine


Take a look, there are a lot of little things that make it a bit different from the typical Luxury models around

Before you use a lot of money on wrapping the car, maybe have someone create a photoshop of E class in the same colours/design.

I agree with this.

The closest thing I can think of is the Maybach with the light upper colour and dark lower colour (which is the opposite way round to what you want, but it will give you some idea as the saloon body styles of S-class and E-class are somewhat similar): http://uk.motor1.com/mercedes-benz/maybach-s560/

I actually think that Luxes just look nicer. Hard to find though.

It's always the wheels that make the car. All concept cars will have like 22 inch wheel with a piece of electrical tape wrapped around to simulate the tire. When the car comes out they stick 15 inches on it, made out of milk bottle caps and the whole thing goes to hell. I would say before you wrap put some decent wheels on the car - it will make all the difference in the world.

I've always wondered the same. The silver is a bit iffy with Forza but I hope this is a close enough approximation.

Great effort and it shows that the body shape doesn't lend itself to that treatment.

Oops, spoke too soon. Crocket and Tubbs are back. They traded the Testarossa for one of these two-tone
paint jobs. I kind of like it.
