Thank you and yes it's on the AMG Calendar so don't forget to vote!

Thank you all again for the compliments! Quality of the photos is just amazing again thanks to Ling! I do have to admit that the car is a bit dirty. I didn't quite do a full detail because i heard it's suppose to rain this coming week so i'll do a full detail before the pasadena meet.

I'm not sure if I've asked you about this yet or not.. but why HRE versus any other rim company?

Just because HRE is popular? Why not BBS or something along those lines?

At the time of purchase(2001) i wanted something with a nice size rear lip and racing heritage (mesh design) there weren't too many options other than these. BBS were nice but too common. The HRE 540R's were the perfect balance for me. And from what i understand from Peter these were the very first set on a W210 55. So it looked pretty unique imo and not just because HRE's are popular.

Nice, photography awesome. Jam I see you put the chrome trim around the front lights but not the back, why? I have the same color 01 and have been thinking about the chrome trim but unsure how it would look. I love how it is on your car. Nice! Any thoughts on those trim pieces?

t-boy,

Just my personal preference but i think the chrome trim on the back would just look to much of a rice. Just not for me. Goal here is to make it look nice and clean which imo i did. Nothing wrong with the back chrome trim if you prefer it but again just my personal preference.
