mmgrad-

could you please post a direct profile shot of your vehicle? You have really done a great job keeping the vehicle looking aggressive yet understated. Don't get me wrong, total head turner- but not in an "What has he done?" way.

thanks for the compliments... I wanted it to look nice, and at the same time, not get too extreme and have people say I'm ricing out my car... I think I've achieved that so far

let me wash my car this weekend and I'll try to find a nice spot to take some more pictures... stay tuned...

Washed & Waxed.... here are a few more pics

Here are some more pics... I'd find a better place to take pictures, but, once you drive it, it'll get dirty, and I don't like taking pics of a dirty car...

Hi danny,

As you know, i have the same bumper.

I have a quick question, my fog light is out. And ordered a new bulb from CEC and my MB mechanic says that the fog lights are sealed.

Is this true ? How do you change the bulb if it goes out ?

thanks in advance.

Simon

its not sealed... however, its VERY HARD to change the bulb while the foglight is in the bumper....

so, unmount the fog light, and squeeze the lens (top & bottom) and the cover will pop off... i hope you are strong, cause dis ***** is really hard to pop off... REALLY HARD....

btw, you didn't need to go to CEC and overpay for the bulb, they are regular H3 bulbs...

Really !! Damm .. my benz mechanic said he could not find the bulb...

CEC charged me 15 each .. does that make sense ?

So, i should tell him that he has to take the fog light off the bumper ?

there may be ways to change the bulb without removing the light from the bumper, but, I don't see it happening easily... You can easily do it yourself... just put your car up on jacks to make it easier....

$15 per bulb is not THAT outrageous... but you could get cheaper... as long as they sold you QUALITY bulbs and not cheap aftermarket hyper white wanna-be xenon crap...

I have a couple of questions for you if you don't mind:

How much of a drop did that Brabus sport suspension give you, and was is springs, shocks or both?

Where did you get your brakes?

What does the mm stand for?

Thanks for your time, and the car looks great.

You did spell " aight " correctly, but shizz nit (no zz on the end) is the other word your looking for. Other appropriate words would be; bomb, or bomb diggity.

brabus suspension (springs & shocks, about $1800 installed) drops ur car about 1.2-1.5 depending on which model you have... it dropped 1.5" for me (front & rear)... i "did" put in 1 pads all around to give it a 2" drop total, but, its back to factory pads now...

I got my brakes at evosport...

mm stands for "2000" in roman numerals, grad = GRADuate.... and then, i ended up graduating in 2001 cause i took a year off...

thanks... the offset is +35 all around... i think a 5mm spacer in the back would make it more aggressive and flush with the fenders... although, i'd rather not use spacers if not necessary...
