x-treme makeover

Just got most of my new mods dun. I got new glasses, with the bi-xenons and new shoes with the 19 brabus of taiwans. New nose job with the CL style grill... added dimples with the clear side lamps.....And upped the IQ with the command from steve euro pimp. Looking for AMG exhaust tips.....if anyone has them for sale, let me know.

Before




After









What do you guys think?

Looks great!

Did the Bi-Xenons, Command, and Digital Climate Control add-ons void your warranty?

I'm trying to get an answer from my dealer but have not received the call back yet :/

none of those add ons will void your warranty. If steve installs the COMAND and climatronic, the dud's at the dealer will probably think they came with the car.

Don't even bother asking your dealer about warranty issues - if you tell them, they'll more than likely try and give you some story about how it will void the warranty, but if you don't tell them, they'll just assume the car came with it, especially since they stand by their story that none of those things can be added after the fact.

I thought by looking at the VID they could tell...or even in the MB computer system it will say what the car came with.

That just depends on possible friends at a dealership...I have even heard of someone with a C230k with kleemann pulley, bigger intercooler and chiptuning who just had his 5th kompressor changed under warranty...

Al,

I don't want that ugly non sport version grill. I would rather keep my grill rather than sell it for any price.

Jon,

Thanks man. It took a while....will lower the front and get AMG brake kit next. stay tuned!
