All it needs now is a heritage grille.
If the car wasnt gold. If the car was at the correct ride height. If the car had brabus wheels.
With these 3 things you might, just might have got away with it. As it is - it doesnt work for me.
Tis your car and your taste. If you are happy with it good on you.

i was not 100% on designing vinyl decal for the car, but after toying with the idea, it does work from most angles..
the quality of the print close up works for me
It's so 2-dimensional though ....

Stick on pretend heritage grille...
talking of heritage, the facelift 212 does have elements of heritage to its updated grill..
If we do infact get the proper grill over in the uk
I was not sure at first about light angles etc, but its interesting..
obviously from some angles it does not work, but 80% of the time, its all good.
i think it works better than had i done just the shadow lines of the e63 side vent style...

Not sure what you have done but IMO the wheels look completely out of place.

I think it would look more convincing if the decals were in body colour giving the illusion of depth,sorry, got to agree AMG wheels are the only way to go,that said,very nice car
Wheels are ok. Would look so much better lowered. Are they staggered? I reckon they could use some spacers on the back.
The vinyls though... No offence but I think they're seriously distasteful. Each to their own though.
Oh and props on the amg bumpers, they look fab.

One thing I don't understand is why if you didn't like the E Class did you buy one??

Really don't like those decals, don't think they look very nice at all, and I just don't get why someone would want to try and make it look like it is something it is not?

No!
He has a thing about declaring his intense dislike for a new MB model - and then buying one about six months later. Actually, you may have a point...

Big respect for having the balls to post a picture of your car after you've done THAT to it.
Do you think you could knock me up a windscreen sun visor sticker with Shaz & Daz on?
