Not planning on it! . Got some other small dings and stone chips... Wil swing by the body shop next week to see what can be done
Ask them for a recommendation for the local PDR guy. They will usually come to you if you have a garage for them to work in.
Also there is a missing cover panel that fits over the top area of the air cabin filter. Right rear side of your engine bay area. Those tend to get missing when service work is done. Replacing that will add to the original look. If you order one don't forget to get the tabs and clips that hold it in. The tabs might still be on your car. Look near the rubber seal. Super simple to replace yourself.
2006 E55 - obsidian black, all options except pano roof - gone but not forgotten
hey thanks!. I am not quite sure which cover you are referring to. I looked around online an all E55 cabin filter areas look like mine. I also couldnt find the actual part online. I did just have the cabin filter replaced a few days ago so along with multiple other maintenance items, but i dont remember seeing any cover there before either. Do u have a pic of it by chance?

Following to see which cover you're referring to. My 05 looks the same as OPs. I know the 03s and some 04s don't have that black plastic cover over the front SAM and brake fluid resevoir. But as far as the other side where the cabin filter is, all the cars I've seen look just like OP's engine bay

Just spoke with my MB tech. He said that our model years didn't come with.a plastic cover..rhat started in o7 or 08 on the 63....?
The cover for the fuse panel on the drivers side, not sure if that is a model year thing but my car came with it. Sorry I don’t have part number for it. But google or MB dealer parts dept should be able to find it. There should be 2 clips and 2 L shaped clip holders that attach to the pinch weld under the rubber seal for both sides.
The passenger side cover I’ve seen on some and not on some. I just assumed that they got left off sometimes when the car went in for service. Either way I like the cover being on there. It helps keep debris out and make for a nicer finished look.
So it looks like the cabin filter cover is for 06 only. Fuse box/brake fluid resevoir cover is 05 and 06. 03 and 04 have neither. That explains why I've never seen the clip holders for the cabin filter cover on my 05 lol. The nut covers are new to me, weird how most people don't have them. I think I'm gonna pick some up. Thanks for the info tlambert
I asked a friend (AMGMeister on Youtube) who has an 04. He's super knowledgeable with these cars. Him and another buddy who has an 03 are local to me. They don't have either covers. I also know another local guy with an 05 and we both only have the cover over the fuse box/brake resevoir.
I'll be home on the weekend so I can look into the EPC and double check. Your 05 had no tabs on the fuse box side?

Ah. Yeah I've seen his vids. No tabs on the passenger side on my 05. I had the drivers side panel.
