Take that you devilish Acura-grille haters; with or without knowing it, famous Mercedes-Benz tuner, Lorinser, has followed in the footsteps of Honda's luxury arm crafting a beak-like grille on the 2010 E-Class Coupe. The new radiator grille is part of Lorinser's most recent package for the two-door German model.

Acura beak aside, body changes include a redesigned front bumper with integrated LED daytime running lights, new side skirts, a trunk lid spoiler, a rear bumper with a diffuser and a four pipe exhaust system.

A roof-mounted spoiler and new alloy wheels available in various designs and sizes up to 20-inches plus a 30mm lowered suspension round off the exterior package.

For the interior, Lorinser's offerings include aluminum pedals, a revised instrument cluster with a scaling of up to 330 km/h, a special floor mat set with leather lining and embroidered Lorinser emblem as well as illuminated door sills.

The German tuner said that it is currently working on several performance packages with more details to be released at a later date.
