Protecting headlights

Hi,

I actually drove a bimmer before this car and wanted to find out if there's anything like this http://www.bimmian.com/LPF/46/1 for the slk55. I'm gonna have perma plate coated on my car this Tuesday to protect the paint, but I don't know how I'm going to protect the headlight covers. Please let me know if you guys know anything.

Also, does anyone here know a good place to order the chrome grille inserts for cheap?

Is it also possible to smoke out or make the orange side markers clear on our cars?

Thanks
JB

2005 SLK55 AMG

Search here or the other MB forums for clear bra. All of those companies also have the headlight (and foglight) thick films. Like Xpel, Stongard, Venture, etc.

It's only a matter of time before aftermarket side markers become available in any color you want.
Cheers!
