What does 'Auto' mean on your mirror?

And what's that in your Ashtray?

rbreaks

It's the Passport 9500 radar detector. The controls are in the ashtray and the display is in the mirror.

Man..So few pics of the W216 here. Is it that rare in the US?

Chris The Swede

These pics is what have inspered me to take on the W216 as my new build projekt. I will facelift an older W216 and make it look as close to this one I can.

CharlestonN

The car looks great and the ride height and wheel/tire size are perfect but the wheels look cheap on that body style

And black with Tan interior? Really?

CharlestonN

I think that the Prior Design W216 kit is the best looking, not a fan of the wheels they used though...

Chris The Swede

Black with bright interior is my absolut favorit. Just like I did on my S500. Cheap? You know what those wheels cost? $2285 each

CharlestonN

I'm not talking price, i'm talking looks, they look cheap imo regardless of price, they just look like something you could pick up at pep boys and were thrown on a $150K car

You can pay $20K-$30K for 30" Chrome wheels, doesn't make them any less cheap looking but it's a matter of preference i guess, as long as you like them that's all that counts

CharlestonN

Been messing around some more with my new camra and took a few more shots of the car

The night shot i made my wheels a bit bigger to see what they would look like in 20"

My new Project....Complete facelift on the way for it...

CharlestonN

I don't normally like the 'Mocha'/'Wine'? colored interior but that looks very clean with the white exterior

Chris The Swede

Just as I did but actually really liked it on the white car...

CharlestonN

I can't help but think what Piano Black wood trim would look like with that color, hmmm i might have to do a photoshop and see

I think i saw this one listed on AutoTrader a few weeks back, those are Koko Koture Lindos wheels right?

CharlestonN

What size tires are those? Did you need to use any spacers?

AndreNY

doesn't look like it has a lowering module (stock height)

1rdmanahan1

The car you saw on AutoTrader wasn't this car. I purchased it in August of 2012 then did the mods to it. I haven't listed it anywhere.

The wheels are 20" x 10" ET40 & 20" x 8.5" ET40 KOKO Koture Lindos with Pirelli P-Zero Nero tire sizes (F) P245/35R20 & (R) P305/25R20.

Correction to my original post. The dyno HP is 497 before the Renntech breather box.

Kindest regards,

Ahh, ok, i just did a quick search and found the one i came across again, it wasn't auto trader it was some site called street dreams, they have a cl55 in that color and same tires so i thought it was the same one



Your car looks good, you need to drop it about an inch and a half though and get rid of the chrome on the lip of the wheels imo

1rdmanahan1

I stand corrected, well sort of, that is my car. I took the picture and sent it to my friend Mike who owns American Wheel and Tire. I wonder how "Street Dreams" ended up with it?
