I recently purchased and installed the C63 front and rear sway bars.

I am awaiting delivery of some Ultra Racing chassis stiffing bars

Today I got my Goodridge braided brake lines to replace the rubber OEM one currently installed. I don-t know whether to install these lines myself or just bring them to a shop that can do the brake bleeding following the installation of the lines.

Link to braided lines please!

I went through Tire Rack. It was special order and took about 10 days

Item 34018

Installed some of the Ultra Racing chassis bars today:







Next...Goodridge Brake Lines all around:

Nice.

Same middle bars as mine. They're a lot better and more impressive than stock, huh?

Very interested to see how these lines go.

All the best.

I already have those lines on my car. Haven't used them on the track but better safe then sorry.

So great update!

capt_paul

The bars weigh twice the amount of the aluminum bars. I found the shorter brace was slightly warped. This weekend, I will install the other bars as well as install the brake lines and bleed the system.

I have completed the installation of the Goodridge brake lines and bled the brakes yesterday:






I also installed the front Ultra Racing chassis braces:

Parts for my Bi-Xenon lights retrofit came in today. It will be the Intelligent Lighting System (ILS) code 622. Also adding the headlamp washers.

WOW! i wanna see the outcome of this!!!
please keep us updated and nice job...

definitely let me know if when you turn the lights on do they work as well as the factory lights work? For example when you start your car do the lights move in a square? or when you turn, does the curve illumination work? THANK YOU!!

capt_paul

Since they are the factory lights, they will work normally. All OEM wire harnesses, sensors, and control units.

moegunz

Have you tried? Because i remember someone saying that the corner illumination is directly connected to the steering wheel and the turn signal indicator, and when you turn the steering wheel a little, the car picks it up and turns the corner lights on. Same goes for the turn signal indicator.

capt_paul

The steering angle sensor comes off the steering wheel control module which interfaces with the front SAM in order to drive the curve illumination. That, with the addition of the ILS control module and the level sensors, all of the telemetry is processed to guide the lights when active.

This retrofit has been performed by Steve at MBenzNL numerous times on several models of MB products, including the W204

moegunz

wow thats really cool....i wonder if he can retrofit keyless go into a 2014 w204 coupe!!


btw any idea wtf this is?

Nice work !!!

I love the look (and added chassis prowess) of those replacement chassis bars, so tempted to get a set for my coupe

Also your going to love the difference and added capability of the Bi xenon intelligent headlights, they're so much better than the regular headlights.

capt_paul

Yes, you can retrofit Keyless-Go to your car. Contact Steve or Wanda at their email: mbenznl@gmail.com

Hey Capt pual, can you check out my post i wrote 2 posts up^^ about an exhust question

capt_paul

I have no idea what that is. I don't have a turbo, I have the M276 6-cyl engine....sorry, cant help ya on that!

capt_paul

I spent three long days of installing the front and rear level sensors, windshield washer reservoir, wire harnesses and the lights. I went to the dealer to have the front SAM SCN coded so that the car will at least let me have working lights and turn signals. I still have to finish installing the multi-function camera harness, and new windshield (the bracket for the camera is part of the windshield). After I have the rest of the parts installed, it will be back to the dealer to get the ILS and headlamp control modules programmed and calibrated

Also in the future is installing the rest of the parts for the lane tracking (steering wheel vibration motor and steering wheel control unit).

I will try to get some pics up later tonight or tomorrow in the morning.

Also change model emblem from chrome to black

Very nice retrofit of the bi xenon headlights! How much did it end up costing if ya don't mind me asking? That is the one package I wish had on my C300.

capt_paul

Over $5000 in parts and programming. All installation done by me, about 20 hrs

DameMD

Nice job. I haven't been on the coupe forums in a while. What's your next mod? Are you planning to do any tunes?

capt_paul

I am hoping that Kleemann comes out with headers at some point so that I can do an ECU tune at the same time as the installation of headers

Looks good! Great job.
