Now the first mod that I did was getting a flat badge. And yes I may have started out of order but at the time I was 16

Following the flat badge I decided to black out my eblems

awesome! very awesome I love w210 a lot. Love the moonstone pearl, its what i painted my s14 in many years ago. Found the color by accident cause i was going with something else and decided to pick a different color before i shot it at the shop. Pretty rare color, dont see to many benz's that color.

And keep up the progress! what is the kit on that silver one in the meet? I think that bumper would look great in your color. Reiger? maybe? could be amg but so many out there look similar.
