Figured I could use this as a picture dump/built thread for my latest car, since I haven't done one yet.

Previous Cars:

2007 BMW 335i



2012 Honda Fit Sport




New car: 2010 C300 Sport 4MATIC, fully loaded with 30k miles

First day I saw it:



Traded my Fit in and bought it the next day:










Then the usual few things,

- Transferred my plate over




- Victim of random act of violence, and just had the whole front bumper restored (body work and paint)





All fixed

Picked up a set of Alphards:



They arrived, and I polished them up a bit







Ordered air:



and the last thing is the test fit






Air should be on before SoWo, maybe.

whered you get your alphards?

Goettler412

Off of Vortex from a kid in Tennessee. Decent price and included tires.

MBSebas87

looks good man! not a big fan of the rims tho

JDM M-benz808

Looking great man! Can't wait to see it on air!

What happen to your mesh and bumper? Did someone kicked your mesh?

itsLoonie

Nice, seems like more people are bagging these cars. First one that's going to be a 4MATIC. Actually someone else is also building one over on VWvortex forums.

Goettler412

Thanks all for the compliments!


I like the wheels a lot off the car, but I think it's the horrendous wheel gap that ruins them on the car. 215/40 and 225/40 looks silly at stock height.

Yeah, came out one morning after a night out and saw my mesh kicked it and some crazy scratch damage. No big deal, good excuse to redo the bumper which was hit hard by rock chips.

I am hoping that with the "bragging rights" (nobody cares, haha) of being the first bagged 4MATIC, that it doesn't come with the added headaches of axle bind up front. Hahaha.

And yeah, I actually am posting in that thread myself on Vortex. Open Road Tuning got me hooked up with universal Air Lift struts and I'm running eLevel/iLevel, so it should be a good set up.

Nice dude, I am bagging my car as well, but I am doing D2 with Ridetechs.

PolePosition

Awesome looking Can you post some pictures of the whole car with the Alphards

Goettler412

Interesting choice there.

I actually don't have them on at the moment, I just wanted to test fit the fronts to see if I would have to do any front fender work/clear brakes/hit the strut.

Everything seemed solid so I'm back on stockies now. Alphards will all be on once I'm on air.

romeo291

Yeah, it's because I already have the Ride Techs from my last car and I can get a 40% discount on D2s. They already have an air suspensions designed for our cars, so I am just getting the coilovers & bags assembly.

PolePosition

cool I will keep an eye out for the finished project

Mixedfruits

have a thread for your airsetup and install stuff please! I have d2 and hoping on going air soon also!

Goettler412

First box in




This will be that thread. Haha.

Goettler412

Pile growing daily

Goettler412

Doing it right.

Cillys

Lots of work ahead, that's for sure

itsLoonie

You'll love elevel. Love mine

EDIT: Just noticed it was ilevel. I don't have that yet, so jealous

Goettler412

Follow the build on Instagram: @Goettler412

20% tint, Airlift Universal struts, iLevel app

Goettler412

Everything is finally in. Just need to find time to install it.

Goettler412

Been getting a lot of questions from you guys and others on instagram about set up, price, etc

www.openroadtuning.com or andrew@openroadtuning.com can hook you up with anything you need, from basic to a full blown elevel/ilevel install like mine.

baez350

how much is it for the air set up? im thinking about doing it also. is it necessary doing i level or e level?

Goettler412

See my above post and get ahold of Andrew to price it out for you.

I would say for the amount of money we already invested in these cars, eLevel is a must, but iLevel is just a fancy controller set up for your iDevice, so that can be skipped over.

should look great when finished . some AMG front seats would really set it off
