I've never worked on the 221 but my 220, I had to replace the rubber seals of which I had to remove the entire assembly. To do that I had to first remove the housing with a flat head screw driver following the earlier post in the 220 forum on updating to LED's. Once the housing is removed you have to fold in the mirror to expose 3 screws the hold the mirror assembly to the door. I used a T20 screw driver to get them out and that removes the whole assembly. Remember, thats a W220. It may be the same with your and it may not.

I don't think I would go for the chrome mirror covers, but you are the owner of this beauty and yours to enjoy. I absolutely may have to look into those rims...

I guess I am just not a mod person.

You paid $100K for a Mercedes Benz Limited Edition model, of which only 1000 will be produced. It has an exclusive interior and the exterior (Graphite I think) is only available on this model. Why do you feel you have to modify something that is already "exclusive." Your car is one of only 1000...modify it and it becomes another modified S550 and loses what you paid extra to obtain.

Just my feelings on the subject...ymmv

Alright alright. I was being nice before (but still the truth). But now after everyone has said it, I'll say it too.

Please don't put the Wald Kit on! It's one of like 1000 made! If it were a regular S550 then I would be fine.
