I just finished the rehab and it is NOT for sale. Wheels are stock AMG plasti-dipped and the emblems are the oem class $65 Taiwanese versions.

I would be happy to detail any part of the restoration of DAS BEAST. There is no lip spoiler, if you are referring to the Bra it is a Kolgan and its very nice and it is affordable.

I was referring to the deck or boot lip spoiler. Remember I am W208 and not familiar with the W209 other than some of the best were 2005.

Coupes had a button for the rear window shade, but I've never seen any of the other 4 blanks with actual buttons. Have you?
BTW was the ABS heat shield something you made, or purchased? Have a link to the seller?
thanks!

I totally agree about the non-functional button blanks.
The heat shield is stock MB from the CLK63.
Finding a pre-owned all wood shifter>>>>>good luck with that!

hey thanks man!
Searching that number brings up only German sources, but no big deals since I work for a German company and could get it shipped here... but leaving out the "A" brings up many sources in the US, this one has the lowest price I've found $60+$15 shipping:
http://www.genuinemercedesparts.com/...ate-2094300062
I've had ABS units die on my BMW, apparently caused or at least accelerated by engine heat. Seems like a reasonable was to add some protection to the unit from direct exposure to the exhaust headers.
Did you have to buy any hardware to mount it?
thanks again!

But you didn't get to drive it!
Just slapped in Siberian Poly sway bar bushings up front and it made a surprising handling improvement.

Is there a WIKI on the DAS, I am seeing a special W209 but stripped of some global options. Reminds me of the CLK DTM but I still dont get it.
Nice ride as rare as they get.
Cheers
