So I went to work and I parked next to a fellow mercedes owner

That’s when I realized, what does their Merc have that my merc doesn’t have?

The answer was a chromed grille.

So I painted my grille in the rain using metallic silver rim paint. It was as close to chrome as I could get it. And much to my surprise, it actually doesn’t look all that bad.

I did somehow manage to lose the emblem I had, not sure where I put it. However what matter the most is that I have a Mercedes and you don’t. I am such a wealthy millionaire Mercedes man. Chrome, guys. Chrome. Millionaire.

nevermind found it

That explains why installing the grille was such a pain in the assholes.

Painted it so it matches the grille :smiling_face_with_three_hearts::smiling_face_with_three_hearts::smiling_face_with_three_hearts::smiling_face_with_three_hearts::smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

What is its value now with these luxury modifications?

When I was installing the badges with a friend, I told her “This will double the value of this car, bringing it to 18€” so I’m gonna stick with that.
