w140 update?
Ive seen a 1996-7? c230 a few days ago, with tail lights that look like new body style mercedes tail light, it wasnt over done or anything. the car looked very classy.
which lead me to ponder over the next few days how i can make one or both my cars look better/newer without taking away from it. i dont like the clear blinkers some people put on thier w140s, or massive chrome rims, so i wont go there.
i just want to somehow give the car a 'facial' i dont want to go into a whole blown out surgury here, hehe.
Any ideas? thanks!

My suggestions would be:
- S600 grill
- Fresh detail job
- Carbon fiber pillar covers (depending on color of the car)
Your car should be an eye catcher will some of these and more. I would just search for "w140" on ebay, and you'll see a bunch of options.
Post pics when done with your upgrades!

There are some projectors on ebay and you can retrofit some Bixenons in there and that will improve appearance ( in the eye of the beholder ) and will give better light output. There are also some taillights on ebay as well.. just search for w140 on ebay. A fresh detail inside and out will help a lot!

Here are some examples...

Get these if you get projectors. These will not flow well with the oem headlights..

You can also get some illuminated door sills or a body kit. Of course that is if you want to have that on your car. Some things you may like, some things you don't. I say as long as you are happy with the car, that is all that matters.
