Some pics of my car
Was free today so took some pics
Only engine mods are Kleemann pulley, K&N filter and OWS spark plugs. I am pretty much done with my car cept i'm waiting for my brabus illuminated door sills and brabus door pins to come in. Like many of you guys, i would love to have projector headlights but sadly up till today, no one has made them. I would like LED tail lights also but no one makes them as well.
In case you are wondering, i didnt put on a bodykit coz there are too many speed bumps and multi-storey carparks that have very steep slopes in singapore. But if i could, i would get a brabus bodykit.
Oh and i cant afford brabus brakes. They are way TOO expensive.

Nice ride Gianfranc. I really like the smoked taillights. Do you think they ship to the US? I'd really love to have stickers than to actually paint the lights. By the way, I have friends and family in Singapore. Know all about those parking devices and the traffic cops. PITA.

Well, actually i could give either one of your friends or family members in singapore the number to contact the group of guys that install such stickers on tail lights. Then they can buy them and have them sent to you. Only thing is you have to cut the stickers so they fit your tail lights properly. pm me if you need any info

I don't think i can use my OE xenon lights if i change to projector lights correct?

(although oem would be halogen).Nothing on your oem setup is salvageable. In fact you will have to dremel out the bulb socket to install the projectors, which is why I say if you have the time and money, you're better off buying an extra set and taking your time to do it right. Good thing is, with MB the wiring is so good that we don't need to use a harness. Japanese wiring cannot handle the increased load without the use of a harness so the electrical on ours is basically plug & play, or more accurately, splice & play.
