Couple pics of my dirty Matte Red E55 and rear plate lights q..


This was on my wedding day in September. Wish it was cleaner.
Love the white w211 in background)) As most of you know my E is White underneath.

How she sits right now before going gloss black on cv3's:





And for some advice:
I havent had rear license plate lights for probably 8 months. Ive had leds until they burned out and now both the lights are out and the socket isnt getting power. My JL W6's musta really worked hard lol. I wired up cheap autozone "in-screw leds" which also burned out.
I'm gonna get nailed one of these days with the early sunset.
I also have Laser Interceptor boxes right where the lights should be. That'll be a nice convo .
Advice what to use?

Yea, peel that joint off & make it white again Looks good, I don't think the matte colors look so good on the pre-face lift?

Great color choice. Few questions for you!
1) How long have you had the dip for ?
2) How easy is it to clean with bird ****, does it stain the dip?
3) pressure washers seem to be okay over repeated use on it?

Thanks!!!
