So...how does one get their emblems painted like that? I'm sure it isn't quite so easy as just pulling them off and spray painting them...

You have to go to the dealer to buy another set of emblems, have a shop paint it and then replace them....that's how I did mine...

BUT,your photography and processing skills are getting nothing but better and better.VERY impressive!!!!

It is different than the typical everyday E55's you see which makes it unique in its own right. You probably know better than anyone here that it is not my style either but doesn't mean we cannot have an appreciation for what it is.

Thanks for the compliment. Some people liked the dark theme of the shoot and some people hated it, just like the style of the car car itself, no middle ground. Oh well, it was something different for a change.

Hurry and get back to your roots so we can do some "American" for a change.

Though I've probably seen your pics on MBWorld in the past, I dont think I remember it. The car is pretty sweet, I wouldnt make mine like that, but that doesnt change the fact that its beautiful. And the first pic, is pure art.
