Nice wheels! What size are those?
Not enough close-up shots of the wheels - is there a deeper dish on the rears? How much they set you back?
Your cousin's wheels aren't worth cleaning more than once, though.
PS: IMHO the '03 front/rear lights aren't worth it, kind of like adding a sprinkler next to your pool- unless you want your MB to look a little more like a lexus...

From several angles, the 03 headlights don't look too good when compared to the 00-02s.Those rims are lovely though.

Im serious!!
I kinda like the way the car looks now the only thing that i want is the quad exhaust from AMG and then i think it will be complete.
Abt the new lights i like them alot but i like them with the new grill and everything it goes in harmony.So if change i have to change alot of things and i dont really think its worth it.

Maybe it's because the car was initially designed with the other headlights in mind. With the new headlights, it leaves it looking kind of empty.

Al, thanks much for the compliments. The 03-04 headlights and taillights were a must upgrade for me. When I first saw the new headlights I was instantly in love. Here are some more pics:

I don't understand why ppl prefer the cloudy look than the clear projectors... the 03-04 headlights are much more elegant. Looks like a Lexus? Nah, Lexus looks like Mercedes, I think that was their goal since the begining. Toyota wanted something that looked expensive, why not copy the benz?

OK mister sportlichE430
Your comment about my rims is unacceptable so why don´t you meet up with me at some place of your choice and I´ll just
tap-dance on your face with my fists to get even
Anywayz its clear that you are not an enlightened person and that you have never expierinced the magic of Carlsson´s rims.
For your defence it can be said that the pic does´nt do the rims justice it was cloudy and cold and the fact that my couzin had his damn car besides mine

IMHO those Carlsson's have more ribs than the condoms my wife just threw out. You must have to go through a lot of toothbrushes to keep them clean. Maybe it's because my step-dad is from Sweden, no, not really I do like some of the 2 piece Carlsson wheels.

Ahhh!
Mister sportlichE430
Carlsson is a german company not Swedish...their name is swedish wich they got loaned from an employee...their engine tuner if my memory serves me correct
The rims are´nt such a big deal to clean if you´re not lazy. If you´re a person who loves his car and really takes his/her time to thoroughly and lovingly cleans his/her car then it does´nt mak any difference
As for the die clearglass sheinwerfers do you guys know anyone who has changed to them so Mae can get look

Yes, amazingly the company utilises a name which honours Swedish rally driver Ingvar Carlsson, who together with Björn Waldegard and Walter Röhrl, made history in a Mercedes Rally Team. That's still too much Swedish for me.
Guess, I'm lazy to clean a wheel that looks like the inside of a GE turbine engine, whether it's clean or full of brake dust. Being in Sweden you should have plenty of other ways to occupy your time, sherry/babes?
PS: There have been plenty of threads ref. clearglass sheinwerfers installs within this forum
