Smile My RAD BNZ with ADV.1 R-Series wheels | Shoot #2

I'm "RonnieRenaldi" btw, this is my new account. My old account was banned because I posted pics with watermark. So, here they are again without watermark
(Just want to make sure, for the moderator: this is my own car and I'm not selling anything)

No more yellow calipers on the car now:

So all of your old photos are gone? What a shame as they were some of the best on the forum.

What's wrong with having a water mark on a picture? Keeps people from stealing them and trying to scam someone. Seems like a silly rule to me.

Yeah, they accused me of advertising and spamming although I'm not advertising anything at all.
If I posted a screenshot of their email, I'll prob get banned again

Some of my threads were gone, some are still there.
Don't know what the moderators think, I never tried to sell anything here, just showcase my build/car.

Looks good as usual Ronnie. What a shame that they banned you over something so silly.

Curious what your normal day job is if you are that good with a camera? Wish I had half your photog skills.

Looks absolutely stunning! I like these but I'm more partial to the Radenergie's you had on last photo shoot.

I think it's ridiculous your first username was banned. I look forward to more photos from you!

Here is a link for the first photo set: https://mbworld.org/forums/w211-amg/...hotoshoot.html

I always like your cars, man. You always think a bit out of the box, and pull the trigger on stuff that many wished they had the vision and ***** to pull off.

As always, big thumbs up from this guy.

Question though: Why a color matched rear trunk lid, rather than c/f, to match the front lip.
