Hi,
Has anyone done this? I'm very much a 'keep it OEM, silly' kind of guy, but I do think the side strips date the car a bit. I've noticed more modern (I have a pre-facelift W212 sport) E-classe, they don't have them. Also the E63 of this generation never had them.
They are just double side taped-on so relatively easy to remove.
Here are some pics I've nicked off the internet/another forum (sorry), the white car is before/after, the rest are with the strip removed.
Basically, I wanna do it, but I'm a big chicken because I'm not much of a car mod-er. Has anyone here done it? Would people be suspicious if looking at a car that had them removed?
My car is Palladium Silver, like the E63 in the last pic.
Cheers!
Ed
