Wasnt really a meet, i just hang with a few of the techs and parts guys to buy some stuff and i had them change my fog lights for me. They are a good bunch of guys over there. With the weather being so mild ive taken my car out of the garage now almost once a week to go work. otherwise how's things?

Cant wait to see your car when yer all done. those led lights on the running boards are sikkk.

Bring it in to the dealer im going to put my $ on that its a valve cover gasket, they do not use a gasket they use a silicone to form the vavle cover gasket.mine was leaking about 2 qts. of oil over 3 weeks so get it checked out sooner then later. on the 500's they had alot of trans leaks

What side is the oil leak on? how far back from the hood is the oil you find?

Have you thought of switching your lights to 8000k bulbs? i did my fog light to 8000k bulbs it looks nice. but as usual im trying to do too much at once to my car. i got the carlsson fromt lip recently, brabus door pins, and got new fog grills (back to black) . im having my white ones resprayed. also looking at doing the elm with remote when more details come out on it. ill let you know the model number ends in 99 whereas the old rt one ended in 98. also it's practically plug n play no more soldering wires. how do you like the k&n filters do you notice a diff? also check this thread, i like the carbon fiber paddles the made up but im thinking the black one will go with my interior better what do you think?


https://mbworld.org/forums/w211-amg/189739-custom-paddle-shifters.html

good luck with the new business. im sure ill catch up with you in the spring. If you think about it. we are having april weather, all rain and in the 40's hopefully the winter will pass us by.
