Just two things that I wanted to try this week on my day off. I really like the daytime running lights on the Caddy CTS's. So I figured I make my own amber DRL conversion.
Since I have retro'd Audi S4 xenon projectors, the stock fog lights became virtually useless. Not to mention the intense heat they make and self destruct on their own with time. I re-based the H1 originally that was in their to an 1157 base that I bought at AutoZone. I did a little trimming and some JB Weld to secure the base in place.
On a second note I liked how the late model C-Class motors have the spark plug engine cover a nice deep red. So I was influenced after repainting the spark plug cover on our C220 to the same on my E300.

RE: Mods that give your w210 Diesel a facelift...
I like the red cover. Are you missing a chrome headlight ring?
How much more modding are you planning to do? I would body match the black lower parts of the car to the silver color.

Looks good. How did you paint the cover (type of paint, how done)?
- S
It was from AutoZone. 500 degreee temp ceramic paint. The paint code is ??1608. Just look for the high temp paints and remember 1608 and you'll find it.
