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.
Any photos of the motor?

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:

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!

I got to see this car in person this weekend, and I really like that color on the vert! I like the face-lift center console. Great work!

the busy build plate
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
