Oh dear, sounds like they have broken something.

I was referring to the bangs and pops in the video. Sounds like some really serious (terminal) backfire.

Just turn your baseball cap backwards then it will sound brilliant - init bruv

I suppose it's fun if you're a teenager. But I never felt the need to make a loud noise when I was young. I preferred my motoring to be unobtrusive, IRRC, although I did own a 911 which was a bit loud I suppose. It was also very rusty, but that's another story. I picked it up for very little money.

What do you think guys ‘to badge or not to badge’ that is the question?

No badge, for me. It would be a proper sleeper. Plus just looks better, and just a tad easier to clean.

As a 5 door I think I would keep it debadged as it is more subtle, kept my cabrio badged as it is already "a bit in your face" in styling, at least with roof down...

Can we have more pics though, have the side badges been removed as well..?

More pics to follow just the weather delaying things at the mo and selling of the other estate which has now gone

The side badges are not present either the subtle one under the centre bar of the grille is present

I generally like badges, I’d probably leave them off though. Nice sleeper

 

[malcolm E53 AMG]

Can’t say I’m bothered either way really it’s certainly easier to clean something to add when I’ve had the car a few years perhaps.

No badge required !

No way. It looks very sleek as is

@malcolm E53 AMG What are your thoughts on de-chroming the tailgate?

@malcolm E53 AMG What are your thoughts on de-chroming the tailgate?

It’s all a bit of a mixed bag really Mike the Night Package takes you half way there but leaves the waistline chrome door handles and band across the rear tailgate and then there is the the Mercedes star on the boot, front chrome around the radiator grill etc etc, so it’s all down to personal choice. The best effort at de-chroming an E class I’ve seen was on a S212 in Palladium Silver and absolutely every bit of chrome on the car had been wrapped in Matt Black and the car looked stunning IMO. I nearly bought the car but couldn’t come together with the seller on price it was done so well still sticks in the mind though.
