I dont have the $ for mods and my rims were scratched to hell from previous owner so I had the stock 18's powdercoated flat black for $70 each. They sand blasted and removed paint and all scuffs in the wheels. I like the white benz with black roofs, so I painted it with code "2008 040 black". Windows pop'd out and railing removed and painted all for $400. came out nice. also replaced the front grill with flat black ones. $40 on ebay.

Nicely done. Black roof on alpine white is the look.
A couple more things I would do:
1- Get those mirror painted black to matched the trims and tinted windows
2- Cover the orange reflector in the head lights wih Euro stickers
