Oh no, that doesn't work at all. Looks very out of place.

H&R Coils on! 10mm spacers up front and 12 on the rear. I really need a better camera than just that of my iPhone.

FrankW · 02-16-2012, 12:34 AM

Coilover and spacers looks good.

The led...i think it looks better the way theyre on the 212.

The navi is good. It used to be very bad without the VSS and the Reverse wires hooked up. But since I've hooked up those wires, the gps is very accurate.

Took some quick shots in the driveway with an actual camera.

niceguyftx · 02-27-2012, 11:29 PM

thanks fresh! wish the front sat lower =(

Quick update, just got my rearview camera for my navi so will be installing that soon.

johnand · 02-28-2012, 07:44 AM

Looks good, though I would put a #4 pad in the rear to restore the nose down stance. H&R really loves to slam the rear on all it's sport springs

phister · 02-28-2012, 07:51 AM

Yea its funny how you need #4 pads when putting H&Rs on.

You're really mean when you want to be.

OP - how long will that paint last on the shift ****, though? I had a silver Renntech **** many moons ago, and that started to give up the ghost after about 6 months or so. Yeah, I guess you could repaint it, but still, it would annoy me.

Added benefit of an aftermarket shift **** is that they sit a little lower, which improves the feel, IMHO. Still, what you did does look sweet.

TruTaing · 02-28-2012, 12:27 PM

I love the addition of the spacers. Looks awesome

MBfinatic · 02-28-2012, 02:16 PM

Looks great!

niceguyftx · 03-22-2012, 10:15 PM

few updates!

Painted my amg brakes and badged it. I wanted an oem CLEAN oem look so went with the silver.

and I also just got my roof spoiler in too. Now I gotta paint it and install.

Still in the process of buying a front lip too. So expensive tho =[ if anyone wants to part?? =P

Peydidy · 03-23-2012, 03:26 AM

The best price I have seen so far for front lips were Gary's his selling them at 250 shipped I think, and I always here very good things about his product, I just bought some euro impact strips off of him and they were fast shipping and all. Cars looking great btw

wodturner · 03-23-2012, 10:50 AM

I am looking for a nav/cd/am-fm radio. Did you install the pioneer yourself? How did it go?

Thanks
Bob

yea I installed it with the help of the DIY thread here on the forums. I'm pretty familiar with installing headunits and what not so it wasn't that difficult.

I_C_Class · 03-24-2012, 06:03 PM

This is quite exciting and interesting to watch. Keep it up

The one in my sedan I had frys electronics do but the one in my coupe I did my self. It was super straight forward, the only part that got me confused was tapping into to cigaret lighter for power, which know when I look back I think was super easy I was just confused at the time. My first time doing it it took a bit of time but when I did it again when I changed the head unit to one with a car phone was super fast, like less then an hour. Just have to be patient, there are a few great DIY on the form that help alot just search for them

Peydidy · 03-24-2012, 08:59 PM

Lol my bad I thought he was asking me about my pioneer head unit because I just had one put in then read the next post and realized he was talking to niceguy, sorry haha

niceguyftx · 04-28-2012, 07:19 PM

hey guys quick update!

bought some wheels finally! waiting for them to arrive monday and will soon have pictures!
they are 18x8 and 18x9's so should look pretty good with my drop.

also did some carbon fiber wrap in my car. i think it makes it looks so much better and more "up to date"

here's pics of the wrap.

ncmudbug · 04-28-2012, 07:31 PM

Looking good!!!

FrankW · 04-28-2012, 08:40 PM

the wrap looks good. brings it a nice contrast with the ash interior.

niceguyftx · 05-02-2012, 11:15 PM

Finally got wheels! I picked up a set of used tsw bremmas. the AMG replicas.

They're 18x8 and 18x9 wrapped in 205 and 225 tires. Currently with spacers, the rear has +17 offset and the fronts have +22.

LOVE the way the look on the car. Except I wish the fronts coils would sit lower =[

I just took a quick phone snap of the wheels before it got dark and will get better pics of it tomorrow!

Without further delay...
