-recently went on a trip to China, No youtube/facebook allowed there
-Currently can't load those two websites in the US, as though I'm still behind the massive great firewall of china.

EDIT:

I think I am still behind China's great firewall somehow...
Websites that are restricted to China:

ie: www.youku.com and www.tudou.com

video's will still load for me, whereas I know youku used to not load...

While I love watching asian dramas.. This is a drag to not be able to finally check my facebook.. hah.

Try going into your settings and deleting/reseting to factory your network and security settings. Also, reset your browsers, wipe everything.

Quite the nice ride! I favor the ventilated seats for Florida weather!

So why mod your car then? Why put $10k wheels on a car thats only worth lets say $30k now? Defeats the purpose doesn't it? Like saying why put an SLR motor into an SLK? Because its cool and you have some spare cash....

Steve is a great guy and does first class work. The car, however, is not complete.

Where is the factory Sattellite radio?

Theres atleast 15k in that coupe worth of parts and labor. Assuming the car did not come with Bi-X. CLK Seats, COMMAND, Bi-x, Distronic impact strips, heaters, BBK, and a ton of other stuff.

dont compare wheels to factory navigation...
for the price he paid, he could have sold his coupe and got a CLK with most of these options (including the clk seats!!)

The owner does these mods for a living, so the cost was much less than you think. Also the difference in cost between a 200 Coupe and a CLK where he lives is much more than you think.

The car belongs to a Greek client who lives in Greece. The car was brough to the Netherlands where it was modified over a period of several months. It was originally manual gearbox so the client decided to Automatic retrofitted so he can have Distronic and Keyless Go. Sadly we can not get satellite radio outside of the USA. The car steve drives is in another thread. It is a fully optioned E-class W211 diesel. Since Jan 2010 I understand that Steve also modified a W203 C32 Estate (Wagon) to have the same or more options. There are now several clients who wish to have this package installed. I understand that you must send your car to the Netherlands or Sydney to have those options installed.

It came as a normal M271 engined manual gearbox W203 2006 with nothing else. These cars already cost quite a bit in Greece. So the owner felt it was worth his interest to add the things he wanted. Now he has a car that is not possible to order from factory. It is not about the money. It is about having something other people dont have and that is a lot cheaper through mods like these than trying to buy a limited edition super-car. A unique car like this costs a lot less than an Enzo or Black series and is a lot more comfortable to drive.

Depending on which video you are looking at you may see a W203 Coupe or W203 C32. They had quite a lot of things done.

This is Steve's personal ride.

Send your car with a self adressed shipping container to MBENZNL. Be sure to include a list of options required and to leave a blank signed check in the glovebox.
