Hello MBWorld....

I'm new to this forum, I'm a regular @ benzworld.. all because i had trouble accesing this one through my cellphone.. now i opened up my new account and got the right username! ..haha

I've read everything there is about our cars out here and over there, but never got in the forum...

So, here it is.. Share your thoughtS!

1st step .... DEC 07..Stock.... No pics!.. those beaten 18" 5 twin spoke AMG.. i don't even have a picture of them

2nd step.. JAN 08-MAY 08 painted black the stock grille, Xpipe, ECU reflash, and 18" 8.5/9.5 Brabus monoblock IV






Step 3 Summer 08... Trying out new things after a neighbor bought the same wheels as me.. Brabus Monoblocks III ..





Step 4 NOV08... wanted a little change out of the car and tried out new looks... but that doesn't mean they are the right ones... even though i had em for a month i did not like this set @ all.. 1st it was okay but grew so mad i got rid of them..



i don't have the pics, because my computer was fixed but.. here it's what it was looking like .... RICER MODE!



NOW!



HAHAHAHa!!
Just Messing.. NOW!



@ a local meet!


Hope you all like it, even though yeaH! it's RED a girly color and all... it attracts attention and girls love it, but specially I LOVE IT..

OpinionS! pleaSe.. I wanna know what you all think of it!

When are people going to learn the importance of correct offsets?

After they go over their first speedbump and get fender rub.

What's up with those Brabus?

I haven't had a problem with it since i commute @ a slow pace... if i get in the highway and go up @ 90 with Comfort mode i eventually get a fender rub.. if it's @ S mode i don't have a problem with it.. but i just commute and go @ 50-60 at the most.. i don't get that problem @ all, only once but it was @ a speed i never go in a highway i normally don't use very much...

Anyways i like the way it looks and thanks for the comments... Constructive or destructive for that matter...

S and C has no effect on the suspension just on how the transmission behaves.

Reed.. i honestly don't know... the wheels i have now they don't rub @ all, but there's the fact that i drive under 65

RonJR.... i thought there was a dampening system on them.. even though i don't run my car that hard to see if there's a difference

If I remember right your in PR so you would have a NA spec W204 and we don't get the stability package. And if we did the buttons are on the center of the dash not the console. My salesman also told me that the C/S switch changed the handling, I should have known better when he couldn't figure out how to get the I-pod to work.

the reflash was done by a friend of mine, a local tuner...

Ron.. thanks for the enlightment!... although i don't have any problems with fender rub or anything.. haha that of a sales person being lost and trying to fool you is so common, even though @ MB here in PR if they don't know it, they ask it... BMW over here , ANOTHER Story.. they don't know anything about the car, only price tags
