Nice mods. I love your Hockey stick LED daylights. Please show more pics and how to do for these mods. How much did you pay for the LED lights? Tks!

Are those rims from the E class AMG sport? They fit without any problems?

Thanks for the comments.

The wheels are from E class Coupe (C207). Fit just nice because the C207 share the same platform as the W204.

With the pulley alone, you will gain more torque in the low rpm range. Car acceleration feels lighter.
I intend to do a DYNO test again. Because the 1st attempt was a disaster.
(I wasn't aware we need to switch the car in DYNO mode, so turned out the ABS and ESP was interfering with the result)

I got 2 words to describe your car... sleek and elegant

Are you using Philips Ultinon?

Thanks bro. Yes, Ultinon. They give a pretty cool bluish effect on the lens.

You can't go wrong with Philips whether it's an H7 replacement or an HID D2S upgrade... it's quite expensive but worth every penny

Have you replace your eyelid bulbs with matching LEDs?

What is your suspension set up? That is the perfect amount of lowering IMO

My eyelid bulbs are Polargs but they still look yellowish. After i changed the HIDs to 6000K, the Polargs looked even worse. I have been thinking to replace the Polargs with LEDs but so far i can't see to find one in the market that can last and without any problems?

The CF costs me $900. Check with Merrick @ Germanmotorsport.com.
It is one of the most satisfying set up so far

Eibach Pro-Kit.
The height kind of settled after 1 year. There is still noticeable gap, like one finger.

I got my white LED eyelids from AZNC300 running more than 6 month now with no problems yet and the color is just right, whiter than my stock xenon a little.

I got the same eibach kit with 5mm spring pads, I want it lower for better look but the height saved me alot of times going in and out of tough places

I was thinking to get from AZNC300 too. Majority gives the LED good feedback, but a few do have problems. May be i should get them for the interior.

I also prefer it to be lower but even at this height, sometimes i got problem going over road humps when the car has 3 passengers.
