I've had my car since December and I've been able to modify a few things to make it look a little nicer.
The things I've changed so far are listed below
* 2003 SL500 antenna cap and base prepainted Obsidian Black (from the dealer)
* 2003 CLK Black and Chrome Grill (from the dealer)
* E v o S p o r t side marker lights pre painted Obsidian Black
* in.Pro smoked side repeater lights
* Removed all the stickers on the visors, shift plate and door jams
* Replaced the stock bulbs with VisionPlus bulbs
* Added another handle on the left side of the trunk. (Filled the empty hole with a platic handle from the dealer)
* Installed brackets (from the dealer) behind the side marker lights to better secure them.
I've also bought a replacement rear third brake light lens and side repeater lenses. I've already sanded them smooth to remove the dimple and lettering and am in the process of smoking them. They look much better than the in.Pro ones and simply disapear into the side of my car.
After that I plan to upgrade the brakes and suspension when they eventually need attention. I may also consider some body kits in the future.
The picture below shows my car before and what it looks like now. What do you think?
Sorry the car isn't cleaner. I usually detail it on the weekend but it's sprinkling today and there is a big storm coming all week next week so why bother.
