Hey Kojan,
when you order your PD rear bumper to HK, did u order it from Germany or from USA? I ask both germany and usa PD for their price, and USA seem to be 1.5 or 1.6 times the price of germany before tax? any ideas?

2012 E-Class Cabriolet (RED)
Hi JK,
I am not from HK btw, and I ordered the bumper from Germany, and it might cost little more than the local price in Germany but I think it is worth it. As a customer I believe I am the first one mod the PD550 (besides their demo car) and so can share on forums what needs to be careful on the modding and replacing the original bumpers if anyone is interested in.

AMG door sill
Nab: I was just joking, don't think too much bro, lol....I really like your work on your beautiful cabriolet as well...also AZN's turbo coupe in HK...I really wish someday all of us can meet up and have a great chats and share about the tuning experience~~~
Not much updates, but I remembered I read one of the forums from MBworld.org mentioned that replacing the original aluminum door sill from mercedes-benz to AMG with illuminated sills like these:
Or any other manufactured company's name such as:
BRABUS
Carlsson
Lorinser
To be honest, any sills looks much better design as the AMG but I did not use them because the red cabriolet did not user any of their parts except few from the AMG, and I did though about custom made for my door sills but I could not come up with any good ideas.....well I did thought about just name it as "W207" or "A207" but then I have concept the looks via photoshop and decided not to because if I do so it doesn't even look cool and plus, it will always remind me of "Peugeot 207" every time I open the door or when I get off the car = =
Recently I found the AMG illuminated door sills with the new AMG logo, better contrast, and it is special made for W207 models. I bought it yesterday, arrived today, and installed it. Check out the photos:
This is the photo of my original aluminum door sill:
First need to remove the original and see how you want the wire goes, you need to decide whether you want the electricity come from the door, or from underneath the electric chair. This is totally up to the car owner because the voltage does not make big difference, if go for underneath the chair then we don't need a long wire, and I believe the installation time will be quicker and easier. BUT!!!!!! if you want the illuminated logo only light up when you open the door then I don't recommend you connect from underneath the chair because if you do so the logo will light up the whole time while your car is firing up. I chose the wiring from the door:
Here is my new illuminated door sill for the red cabriolet. As you can see, the AMG is the new fonts. In this product, the AMG logo was just a plain sheets with semi-transparent at the letter area, and at this point I realized if I want to change the logo un the future I could just change the sheets so can have different styles (may be~)
Here is how it looks after the installation. Quick warning for those chose keyless go systems like this red cabriolet, suggest to remove the cap and let the computer assume the electricity will not through unless you use the key to fire up, because when you install the sills, you need to keep the door open, and for keyless go system, the electricity will go through right after you open the door (recommendation from the Mercedes specialist)
Here is the angle from driver's POV when you try to get off the car.
Satisfied? At least I am .....lol ^^
