Well for starters the Mystique center reflector has nicer plastic around the licence plate area, its more of a grey color and the back up lights have little black lines over them, giving it a more "smoked" look . Also theres less chrome, especially since I've covered the little chrome strip up with blackout tape, as well as the embossed Merc logo. Now the car has NO chrome in the back, giving it the euro look it should've had in the first place. To complete the "euro-look", I had the grill ring dipped in muratic acid and painted body color, just like the Mondeo
