If that is your E55 in the first picture I would say leave it OEM Silver, looks great.

Dude I vote black chrome. if you combine that with some mild tints and some carbon fiber goodies or blacked out goodies (lip spoilers, diffuser, black chrome emblems, glossy black grill and hood vents) and finish it off with a conservative drop I'd say you're set.

Are you rocking the AMG appearance package on your E? I can't recall.

Thats a diamond finish colour, trust me you cant replicate it!

I learnt the hard and expensive way!

Keep it OEM!

Back in the day I had powder coated RS4 wheels on a silver S4 and loved it. Here's a close up. It's not black, but still dark. I'd vote for the gunmetal!

I like it. That looks pretty close to those RS4 wheels I had (picture above).

I'm thinking of going with a similar color for my Tectite E55.
