MBWorld Fanatic!
Its not so much the design elements of the facelift front bumper but I think they look or actually wider on the bottom that makes the car have a wider stance. I've never overlapped the PFL and FL models from the same angle and over lapped the photo's.
As for the P.E. note difference, I have not driven a PFL so its hard to say. What I've been told is PFL is more raw, and FL is more "refined" but quiet. Also I was told suspension tuning is much different and that FL rides smoother.
I'm trying to keep this car with a clean build like I always do with my other cars, and enhance what is lacking on this car, while maintaining a OEM+ look.
My criticism of the style of this car would be:
has a feminine vibe, but can be taken as elegance
car looks narrow (I prefer wide and low vs narrow and tall)
wheel fitment issues with UCA's in the front and narrow fender clearance in the rear
Top end feels weak
I think those are fixable with some modifications. Here's how it stands now:
VTF adjustable springs
15mm F / 20mm R spacers
ASR exhaust flap controller
Vinyl wrapped all chrome pieces
Double fin grill painted black
Amber delete on headlights/tail lights
paddle shifter extention
225/40/19 + 255/35/19 Yokohama Advan V601 summer tires (OEM is trash)
ceramic coated
did u wrap it yourself?
how difficult is the grill for a newbie?
