ML Wrapped - Matt White
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)....

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!

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?
