I have some plans for the next few weeks, will be leaving the car with my bodyshop to get that done but will be painting that white like the rest of the car

gavrocool

White is nice as well.

Quick question DR-NAB, what diffuser and trunk lip spoiler are you using?

Dr-Nab

just a quick update, will be back posting more often soon enough!

Got some new wheels if you've not been following the red cabriolet fb page...

Yup, shared, done!
Beautiful and unique taste

P.S. Nab...I want to meet you~!

gavrocool

Very unique indeed.

Dr-Nab

thanks Gavro. Koji, if you ever find yourself up here I'll dust the tennis racket off, not saying I'm any good but be interesting to see if I can still play haha

Few more shots from last night trying to scope locations to take pictures...

dvalentinolocke

think i should mosey on up your way and get some pics done of our cars together. think we may be the only ones in england thats played with an e class this much iv never seen anyone in the south with anything other than a stardard set of wheels painted black.

gavrocool

You should do that...

gavrocool

What set up are you running?

Car_Guy

This is the most unique W207 I have seen so far. Congrats m8 !

Dr-Nab

Yeah that would be a good shout mate, be awesome to see the two of them together. Same as up here, just the odd one or two with standard wheels refinished black thats it

Dr-Nab

They're still 19s Gavro, 8.5 et42 and 9.5 et40 but they look a lot bigger to me. Fitment is perfect on the rear, fronts could be a bit further out but haven't fitted the spacer yet.

Dr-Nab

Thanks, I'm getting mixed responses to the wheels but mostly good. Main thing is I like it will be experimenting with the wheel finish in the next few weeks though see if I can darken them slightly will post pictures when I've done that

Dr,

Please... for all that's holy, change the color of those wheels. It looks like a Michael Jordan sneaker : ) I love you man but you gotta do this!

Hi ! I have followed your posts with interest, you have done some excellent upgrades, but sadly the wheels just aren't right, neither the design or the colour, sorry my opinion !!! Your upgrades have always taken the car upwards, think again and get your class hat back on and right this one off to, to many sherberts !!!!

Dr-Nab

no worries man everyone is entitled to their opinion. Since I've done what I have with the car there are a lot more around which start to look the same as mine which is why I changed the wheels to keep it different - some people like to blend in with the crowd, I don't

theraven333

Hi ! Opinions will always differ especially when it comes to standing out from the crowd.... as you say it's your call, so I will have to wait to see what you come up with next........You could always change the white to a bespoke colour or change the hood fabric to a stand out colour ?????? I always enjoy watching what some of the specialist guys do in the States, but in the UK the cost of doing stuff is a least twice to three times more expensive than what they seem to pay>>>>
PS picking industrial looking locations gives a hard edge to your pictures, there are some lovely locations around your area!!! Lol

Hey man, I saw you did the hockey stick led conversion to the straight bar. I want to do this also, do you know how much the lights cost you? Also any problems with replacing the old ones? or are they just plug and play

Dr-Nab

I think they were something like £250 GBP, so somewhere around $400, I just left my car with the dealership while they sorted it and paid up at the end, the tech said it was a pretty simple job and he didn't take the bumper off just disconnected the lamps and removed them from underneath the car.. so if a dealer or fitter tells you they can't be fitted then they're lying

Barca93

Ok thanks, thats good to know about the fitment. Also you paid £250 GBP for both lights?

Dr-Nab

No problem, yeah that was for the two light units and their surrounds for the bumper

Barca93

One more question, did you have to change the black mesh piece in the bumper for the new lights? Or can you just use the same mesh piece

gavrocool

Replace the mesh as well.
