The Great MBWorld Show & Shine - Share & Win!

No physical meets, no problem. Welcome to MBWorld's first-ever virtual show and shine, an opportunity to show off your Mercedes to the entire community and win some great prizes!
We've teamed up with Avalon King to give away products that will have your Mercedes looking at least as good as new. One grand prize winner will receive nearly $200 of goods that includes three of Avalon King's Armor Shield IX DIY Kits, two bottles of Prep Shampoo, two bottles of Ceramic Maintenance Shampoo, and two bottles of Ceramic Booster Spray. Plus, two runner-up winners will each receive their own pair of Armor Shield IX DIY Kits.
To participate, simply reply to this thread before September 1, 2020 with a photo of your Mercedes. Whether you take it on a socially-distanced drive or just roll it into your driveway, any photo of your car - and any model of Mercedes - is eligible. And like any good show and shine, we'd love to hear about the modifications and customizations that truly make it yours.

You can learn more about Avalon King on their official website, and about their Armor Shield IX DIY Kit by clicking here. Full contest rules can be found in the PDF attached below. Good luck and we can't wait to see your Mercedes!

It’s lowered, riding on Vossen VSF1, 20X9.5 front with 245/30-20 tires and 20X10.5 rear with 285/30-20 rear tires.
The car retains its stock internals engine with the following mods:
Eurocharged ECU/TCU Tune
K&N filters
UPD Belt Wrap Kit
82 mm TB
550 CC Injectors w/Looped Fuel Rail
185 mm Crank Pulley
ARH Long Tube Headers
200 CELL Race Cats (now deleted)
Meziere Front Pump
FTP Larger Front Intercooler
Ice Tank Trunk Mounted w/Rule2000 Pump
Rear IC Cooler w/fans Mounted Behind Rear Bumper
Wavetrac LSD
Quarter mile time is 10:39 @134 mph. Credit for that run goes to the previous owner.
The car has had an overall recon recently performed by me. Some refinishing was done to repair rock chips along with some sanding and polishing of the factory painted panels.
More info and pics on the 10 Sec Recon can be found here https://mbworld.org/forums/w211-amg/...sec-recon.html
The last thing to complete my project would be to Ceramic coat it to protect it for years to come with Avalon King’s Armor Shield IX !

She started as 03 E500 And then I had an accident with her so I decided to redo her the way I wanted to, did a complete front end overhaul by going with the 07 conversion all Oem parts minus the grill. Also redid a few things in the interior.
Before the Facelift
Wheels are MRR GT7 wheels 19x8.5+32 on the front and 19x9.5 +35 on the rear
Replaced Radio with an Xtron Touchscreen Radio and sourced little pieces here and there to complete The interior.

My 2002 E430. Was my daily driver for 3 years and 50,000 joyful miles. This is the car that really made me a Mercedes enthusiast. Started collecting parts for it and it kind of spiraled out of control. Car has full AMG body kit, interior, exhaust and much more. I got it painted a few years ago and since retired it from daily duty.

Would love to hear more about the booster spray.
here’s my thread detailing the paint correction process:

Stock as a rock apart from the aftermarket 20's the previous owner fitted. The roads where i live are terrible, so they've since been swapped for some W212 E500 wheels temporarily while I decide what wheels i'd like to fit myself. Will eventually go with some nice 19's.
Made me proud to use it as the wedding car for my eldest daughter's wedding.
