Call Evosport, sponsor here, they have pre painted ones for relatively cheap. I bought sets for my W210 E55, W211 E55, and W215 CL65 and all were of the best quality and great paint match too.

First thing I did was tint my car, second thing was get my reflectors paint matched. Took it to a local bodyshop with a good reputation with paint and they matched it perfectly. I saw an alpine white M5 the other day and the reflectors were almost cream, so beware with pre-orders, especially if Vic says they're good.

It was actually very hard. To remove the 2 little screws to get the panel in the wheel well back is easy. To unclip the orange lights is not that easy. It looks easy but the 2 little plastic clips are in so tight you just can't get them out. It took me 45 minutes to get one side out. The other side took me 5 minutes because I said screw it and used a puddy knife and a hammer and broke one of the clips off so that it came out easily

If I could do it all over again I would have ordered pre painted Black ones. I'm sure the quality is a ton better then using spray paint like I am. I may just take mine to my local body shop and have them professionally do them.

I bought the same ones off ebay. But I'm kinda of hesitant after seeing what it looks like on your (liquiddi) car because I have a black E63 too. Also the fact that it was challenging to install. I wish the ebay seller made the clear corners a little smoky.
Good job on the install.

Oh, the other thing is I don't have any light leakage. I went ahead and put the amber bulbs in so those were a bit toned down from the stock white. Plus I put like 6 coats of paint on them
