Hey Guys,

I have a delivery of a new vehicle coming through in two weeks time of the new Merc E Class saloon AMG line in Black Obsidian with 20in Multispoke alloy wheel upgrade.

I was looking for subtle exterior upgrades? Any ideas? Im not wanting to do anything too extravagant as it is a lease vehicle and I will be handing it back in after 2 years of useage.

Therefore what subtle upgrade would you recommend?

I was thinking of maybe adding these hubcaps to the 20inch multispokes:

Not sure what else I could add? Any ideas guys??

I know! Thats what I thought too! Anyone know of anywhere that I could get these for a cheaper price??

Also what does anyone know of where I could maybe get a rear spoiler fitted on the vehicle? Do you think this would impact the lease agreement? And how about carbon fibre mirror caps? Do you think they would like nice on Obsidian Black?

Something to do with posting that your getting a "fancy car" that isn't really that fancy in a "hey look at me" type way while asking how to tat it up?

If you're not going to be helpful, what's the point on messaging on here. No its NOT a fancy car. A fancy car would be the E43 or the E63 but it will do for now and I quite like it.

I'm going to sound ancient here but by the sounds of it, it's probably a pretty tidy car so will it need any real modifications?

OK the centre caps are a subtle change although I may debate the AMG-ness of it but that's another subject. haha

You could de-badge the rear end, usually looks nice and tidy. If it's your thing you could tint the windows or get some fitted blinds that can be removed but shade the interior.

Or invest in some 'cheap' replacement headlights just in case.

If you can get them for a Bag you're laughing!

It is quite a fancy car and looks very nice as standard both inside and outside so I can't help but agree that adding things like those hubcaps could make it look a bit tacky. Each to their own though of course.

I just replied to your question that was all! That's usually how these things end.

I wouldn't spend a penny on a lease unless you can remove whatever you do and sell it for what you spent afterwards, why customise someone elses property if you not getting any value back?

Pull the CDI (or whatever they're calling diesel these days) badges off and get AMG V8 BiTurbo badges put on

Would not bother unless you know they can be removed without damage at the end of the lease IMO.

But 150 for 4 centre caps jesus.
