On the bottom of the front end of 500e's there is an "access" door in each corner that hinges down.
These little plastic "doors" are there so you can easily get to the back of your foglamps in order to change bulbs.
You can remove the little doors and replace them with a 3 inch NACA duct that has a hose connected to it. You route the hose throught the inner fender panel, between the front spring & the chassis, over the tie rod assembly, and it will end right at the caliper.
If you look under your car, you will see this is a fairly easy project. The NACA ducts fit real nicely in the holes & need only to be held in place with a couple of screws.
Once you have the door removed the hose routing will be pretty straight forward. Just tie wrap the hose so it doesnt get smushed by anything, and tie wrap it on the tie rod assembly so it will "turn" along with the wheels.
The hose will last along time, but you should check it for holes/ damage when doing routine service.
I have tried to take pics of this in the past, but they are too dark.You should be able to get the ducts from Racerwholesale,Pegasus, etc and do the whole thing for around or less than a hundred bucks.
