She is beautiful...on the lower valence of the rear bumper , did you have to make the cut on the lip to make the tips stick out or was it part of the brabus lip kit?

FlatlineEF9

Part of the brabus kit. It was made for use with that exhaust so I knew the engineering would be perfect, and it is

Picked up OEM E55 taillights. Was hard to find genuine MB ones like this. Big thanks to Siopaolover for the bulb plugs

Marsss

Looking great!!

Update. With the install of the tails and new LED parking lights, im now finally "LAMP ERROR" FREE! Ive had some sort of stupid lamp error for the past 7 years. So nice to not have to press "r" every time I turn on my lights. Also don't have to explain whats defective when people ask about it

More mods. Finally got around to doing the BBK.


These parts have been collecting dust under my bed for the past 6 months or so. Half of me was lazy and the other half was scared they might not work (leaky seal, stuck piston, etc etc.) The rotors are C55amg 345mm rotors. Brake calipers are 2002 S55 amg. Pads are OEM Mercedes from the 2002 S55. The factory line bolted right in to the back of the caliper with no leaks/issues. The caliper needed 3 washers to sit correctly on the rotor with the pads having equal spacing on both sides. Only small issues were the brake pad sensor doesn't clip in, so I just pinched the wire behind one of the tabs of the bracket holding the pads in and put the sensor in the correct place. Its holding fine. Other little well known issue is the rotor retaining screw doesn't line up right, but the lug nuts/wheel will hold it on just fine.



Final product. The car is filthy right now so ill get some shots this weekend at hot import nights.

Edit: The calipers came black originally on the 2002 S55, but I had them sanded down and painted iridium silver by my friend.

looks good.

More mods yesterday. Took a crack at the double din.
Got the radio and climate controls out...easy part haha.



At this point I have the center console out and the ashtray. Still getting the upper wood, glovebox and ac vent out.



Pic of the different wood trims.


Finally got that bugger out. Not fun...not easy. I wouldn't like to do that again lol.



Putting the new cage in was easy compared to getting the old one out. I had a hell of a time. Slowly put everything back and only got hung up a couple times where I dropped screws and broke my ashtray cover. Total time was 4 hours with those snags...30 mins of it was fixing the ashtray cover, it wouldn't close



Final product. Going to put in a double din dvd player tomorrow.

It turned out well and the dash is just as strong as it was before...I had no idea that the plastic cage is such an essential part of dash integrity. Will post more pics tomorrow after I put the dvd player in. Aloha.

SerbNerd

Looking good! Both the double din and the OEM BBK!

So when upgrading to the double din, one needs to change the plastic cage behind the wood? Do you have a part number for this by any chance? I can't find it in EPC or WIS

FlatlineEF9

Thanks Serb. 2106890916 is the part number for the cage. Yes you do need the plastic cage for the OEM wood. Im sure you can do something custom with some fiberglass or something...but I wanted to keep the OEM structure and OEM look.

FlatlineEF9

Final product. I adjusted the lighting of the unit to match the amber of the rest of the dash. Looks good at night. Tested Bluetooth, ipod, USB thumb drive, DVD and CD...all work flawlessly.

What did you use for the trim around the head unit? Looks great, a really clean install.

FlatlineEF9

Thanks BIGJZ74. It came with the kenwood unit, along with a metal mounting cage that I was able to use for inside the plastic cage I installed.

Rareamg

Looks good

BiGJZ74

Which model Kenwood did you install?

sorry to bother but where you buy your bra bus steering wheel from?
trying to find it online but a little hard.
