Finally taken some pictures of my ride

Here is my ride with Lowenhart LDR, H&R Coilover, MP-Design silver carbon fiber steering wheel, 6000K low beam and 6000K HID foglights purchased and installed from SR Autogroup in Richmond, BC. Electric folding mirror ordered from MBenzNL and installed by Mercedes-benz Vancouver (required special tool to remove the mirrors due to the strange shape of the screws holding the mirrors).

Hope you guys like it

Do you mind sharing the difficulty of the folding mirrors? More specific info on the foglights? and steering wheel? Again, it looks fantastic!

The H&R coil-overs are a bit soft, but they are a bit better than stock. Adding sway bars may help. Ride quality is about the same as stock. I would choose PSS9 system over H&R but then I got a good deal from the internet.

I will take and post more photos later today.

For the folding mirrors, there is only one problem. The 3 screws for holding each mirrors are very unique (will post picture of the screw later) that even Mercedes dealer had to order the tool in from Toronto. I've checked other Mercedes from the dealer and no other car uses the same screw as mine (they were normal Torx screws). Other than that, there were no problem. For the fog lights, the C55 uses H7 bulb instead of 9006 on C32. I've done the installation by myself. I had to access the foglights from the front wheel liner panels. It took me around an hour for the installation. The MP-Design steering wheel is a direct replacement as the stock unit. The stock parts that are reused are the shifter buttons (holes had to be drilled in the inside of the MP wheel to feed the shifter wires to the back of the airbag panel), the airbag/multifunction button unit, and the airbag/controller harness.

The LDRs are 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 with 32 offset all around with Pirelli PZero Nero 235/35-19 and 265/30-19. I am not using spacers at this moment, but I am planning to custom make a 4mm spacer at front because there is a little rubbing issue to the H&R coilover and the inner sidewall. Also for the rear, the center of the rear wheels were shaved 3mm because the 32 offset is too aggressive. So the rear offset is now 35. I do not need to roll the rear fender but the inner border of the rear bumper had to be grinded.

Thanks for everone's replies. Nice to meet you guys. I will post some more daytime pictures today.

Only when installing parts that other installer cannot do it, and also the programming too. Find Adrian from service department. He is a great guy.

Thanks for everyone's opinion. You guys are great

Awesome ride. May I know how much you paid for your steering wheel, and where I can get one?
