bought 97 E420, need help with subtle, tasteful mods

97 E420 105k, has 17x8 AMG Monoblock 3-pc with BF Goodrich KDW G-Force tires, I ordered a set of eibach lowering springs for a 1 inch drop and some clear projector headlights. What other mods would be subtle, yet tasteful, or should I stop after the springs and projector headlights?

RE: bought 97 E420, need help with subtle, tasteful mods

There's alot that can be done (tail lights etc), I bought my 1998 E280 used and it was cr*p when i got it. Take a look at it now in the gallery (more has been done since but I have managed to lose my camera). I'd suggest you "upgrade the steering wheel and gear knob ASAP, and if you are into chrome get the gear surround as well.

Well the list goes on, but please feel free to have a look at my W210 galleries (it's all very easy to do,... I did it all myself,... with a little help from Ruffrob, E-Klasse & A.Omer)

Good Luck.
