Looks really good.
Do you have ABC or have you lowered it? I understand you have 20 inch rear wheels, is this a problem with the speedo calibration or are the tires the same outer circumference?
Mine is non ABC and I hate the gap in the rear wheel wells.

ABC was not possible for my car.

I have option 486 : lowered suspension.

No problems with the speedo calibration.

Theyonly had problems with DRL LEDS in bumper and distronic because of other positionings of parking sensors in bumper.

Roof wrap SL R231

Yesterday I wrapped the roof black So that I have the same continious black from windshield to the back.

It's now similar to my E And S class.

Looks good. You remind me so much of a friend of mine here in Atlanta who loves changing it up.

That option 486 I thought was for S LK's only

This is a standard option in euro models when getting a the AMG sport package.
There is also a free option to remove the lowered suspension (which is what the U.S. has).

Wish this would be available in the U.S.

I understand why I can't find that option in the US specifications now.
I will probably go with H&R springs and spacers.


Your English is perfect and I had no idea you were from Belgium.
