Steve MBenzNL November 2004 trip

Steve will be travelling through the USA - and fly to Australia as well! - in November of this year, to do installs.

If anybody should be interested in getting some items installed / modified (like comand, CD changer, bi xenons etc or other parts and items we usually sell), please email us at steve@mbenznl.com.

FYI, Steve will be leaving for - a well deserved!! - holiday in a week or two. Meaning that all orders have to be confirmed before he leaves.

Greetingz,

BigSis

Any idea on when he'll be on the East Coast, and does he now have the ability to switch a car over to xenons present?

I don't have any exact dates at this moment... Steve is still in CA for his current install trip.

And yes, he has his own Stardiagnose system, so he can activate your car for xenons present.

Again, that is a possibility.

Look, Steve will be in NYC and Washington DC PROVIDED that there are enough interested customers, who confirm their order by making a deposit. Atlanta is a possibility as well - there are a couple of Florida people who may get some mods. They already informed us that they were willing to drive up north for their installs...

But again, that all depends on how many CONFIRMED orders we get. So basically, it's all up to you guys!

You guys make a great team !! you put up with all my bothering e-mails, and you didn't even come out to "take care of me". And Steve, is cool as ice. Fast, professional, and super smart.

- Bi-X for W203 Sedan
- Parktronic strips & sensors

THANKS !!!!

more to come from Steve...

Actually ordering some PTS parts from Steve: Euro bumper strips (Brill Silver - COUPE / Metallic Pewter - SEDAN) and sets of PTS color-matched sensors.

Bi-X will be installed shortly by Steve or Mark. Took the '05 Foglights but will install on the Sedan instead, and for the "wanna-be C32 AMG EuroCoupe a la mode" I got these HELLA bad boys that Steve had...
from the AMG W211 (part # 211 540 81 09) or (A 230 820 03/04 56):

Arrow all in due time...

Doug, look on the bright side, you'll have PTS really really soon,
and hopefully the UHI kit by the end of the year. That's way awesome for a COUPE !!

Here are a couple more pics, that I forgot about... Steve installed the AUX input into my glove box direct from COMAND. Upper right corner just next to the CD cubby hole:

Good to see you still have some money left, and don't have to wait till next year! And yeah, I can still put up with you and your 'bothering' emails. If you happen to forget about bothering me, I will let you know!

I will make a note on the November list, Carlos... UHI for an Ericsson T610, right?

Greetingz,

LOL... don't worry Doug. I'm sure the cradle I need is probably not available either.
I'm thinking of getting the Nokia 6210. I'm willing to wait on the UHI. I would much rather get my other scheduled mods done first, and give my wallet a chance to catch up with my addiction.
