Is your coupe 4MATIC? I'm sure I read somewhere that you have the AIRMATIC suspension. I was about to pull the trigger on the wheels but the vendor did not recommend staggered setup for my 4MATIC! I was planning to correct the rolling diameter with tire size...

Got the 60mm black H&R bolts from Germany and installed
They do not offer it in the electronic catalogue but they are available

Thanks again!

wow, can't wait to see it on your car.. actually i'm tempted to buy them as well but i'm not used to the size of the car yet and Prague is full of curbs and bad roads.
Found them for better price here - https://www.kunzmann.de/shop/en/tire...cedes-benz.htm

Out of curiosity, where did you get the panamericana grill? Is it an OEM or aftermarket part?

I see, thanks. How difficult was it to replace the grill? Did you have to take the entire bumper off?

yes you have to
and if you plan to install this grille I highly recommend to protect your coolants with aluminum mesh grille. Because this panamericana grille has too large openings. It easily can be installed on the back side of the grille

E450 Cabrio
Very nice ride, congrats! I am just starting with my e450 cab, waiting for the grille and looking for that e53 diffusor. Only place I saw it is kunzmann. Is that where you got it from? What is the % of light transmission on rear lights? Are you going to lower the car?

E400 Coupe 2017
just wondering how's the thing with rims... kunzmann says these rims are not for E53 while others are for non AMG only...
I was asking a dealer what's the matter and he didn't recommend me to get these rims since my car isn't E53..
same thing goes for E53 rims you ordered

Any clue ? I'm like wtf..

Thank you!
i got the diffuser and the tips from local mb parts seller. So it was cheaper than kunzmann
actually I have no idea of % tint. I’ll ask my workshop
that is PPF that’s all I know. And it comes in light dark (as i have) and dark.
I have air suspension from the factory, so I drive in individual mode with the suspension in sport only. It is lower that on the pictures. As soon as I install new wheels I will make new pictures with it lowered.
