Hello All,

So I have a 2006 ML and over Christmas I got bored of the color so had it professionally wrapped in Matt White. I also had the tail lights tinted so that they appear black rather than the OEM red lights on all ML's. I had all the walnut interior wrapped in Carbon Fibre and also had my front grill blacked out entirely and the rear boot badge. I have upgraded the headlights and fog's to Xenon's as well as the side lights and all interior lights have been changed to Ice White. I have also had my windows tinted very dark to give a stark contrast to the white of the car.

I am now looking to change the OEM Headunit and Install a Kenwood 2 DIN DVD player however due to the fact the car is fitted with Harman Kardon I am having problems finding an adaptor to connect the stereo up as apparently the Harman Kardon is wired fibre optically and my car audio specialist is suggesting re-wiring the whole car which I do not want to do.

I am also looking to get some running boards installed but I want to get them powder coated black rather than have them in Silver so as a result I am happy to get some used ones that are lightly marked as I will be having them painted anyway...

If anyone has any other ideas as to what I could do to the car next then let me know.... (Bigger wheels are out of the question due to funds unfortunately)....

sosh

Quite frankly thats one of the most unattractive ML's I have ever seen. It appears to me as one thats unfinished or badly, cheaply painted. Stone ugly!

CHROME dude CHROME! Chrome the RIMS and the badges.

i like the wrap but the wheels gotta go go. I am chasing some 21" and live in the UK, maybe we could get a discount on 2 sets!!

Yeh lets try... I want black Rims though....

I had all the chromo removed so tht the car is just black and white, the pictures do not do it justice unfortunately!

I really do like white, but I too think that chrome or highly polished aluminum wheels would compliment the color much better than black. I've never been a fan of blacking-out trim and wheels, but I realize that it's not easy to just run out and spend a bundle on new wheels. What colour was it before the wrap job?

Actually I think it’s pretty cool looking. Not something I’d do to my vehicle but still not too bad.

The black wheels make it look like a test vehicle

Not a very cordial welcome for old Harry. Hope we did not scare him off.

I hope you don't do that to me when we meet soon ! JK

The Lorinser package is a nice addition. Did a similar thing with the black touches on my white ML.

Hope to see future upgrades and very interested in see how that audio system upgrade goes!! Keep us posted!!

Well if Harry hasn't posted here in 2 years, I don't think he is about too....

Just for the record, this car looks horrid.

It just goes to show, money can't buy taste.

primatives

If you stuck a candle on the roof it would look like a cake.
