Something New: Painted my Moldings !! Photos Enclosed
If you remember my thread a while back:
https://mbworld.org/forums/w211-amg/...s-welcome.html
I have now "freshened" up the look of the car.
Painted the moldings (impact strips) all body color - as opposed to black.
I REALLY like the change. What do you all think ?
Can't say that I've seen this done before, with the exception of the front impact strips underneath headlights being the Euro/Body color ones.....
Thanks for looking !

Thanks Jon.
Hey will you kindly link me a thread to updated pics of the GTR ?
I remember the start of the build but haven't really followed it. Would love to see finished photos....

I've never seen it on a Silver E55, but I did this also on my black E55, it definitely makes a difference. One of my favorite cosmetic mods definitely.

E55 w/ goods, Z32 Project underway
I like it, thanks for posting. I'm going to do the same when I have the time to properly remove them, prep, and shoot. An all day project for sure.
