Hi all, decided to get involved at long last after lurking in the background for some time.
Some pics of my motor just to chuck in the mix.

ravennexus

No good pics yet, stock (for uk) year 2000 E430 avantgarde with prins VSI LPG system

so far swapped plugs, resealed right bank valve cover and breather (still need to do the left bank), might need to chasedown a vac leak. just replaced front discs and pads 330x32mm bloody heavy

good looking wagon!

That IS a good looking wagon indeed, really diggin' the all-red taillights. What type of springs are you using?

wingnutw210

Thanks, the springs are modified H&R springs with Pi short shocks.
The rear lights were me and my brother trying out some spray tint, it came out great as long as you use green indicator bulbs to flash through amber (it works)
Also just finished carbon wraping all the wood inside now, what do you think.

skj0lsvik

Funny thing, I am nearly finished with mine aswell. The only thing that aint finished is my doors! Did you remove the wood from the doorpanels or did you just wrap them when mounted?

And yea, in my opinion it looks killer!

wingnutw210

I removed the wood trim from the doors as it made for a neater job, and the fact I was adding the black leather panels on to my grey door panels at the time it made more sense. just need a black steering wheel and black oe merc mats to finish now

Sounds good! How did you remove the wood from the doorpanels them? Removed the whole panel off of the door?

wingnutw210

You need to remove the door panel first and then on the back of the panel behind the wood you will see some brass looking clips, these are pushed over the posts coming through the door from the wood sections.
You need to prize up the tabs on the clips with a small flat headed screw driver (be carfull so as not to damage/snap the mounting posts)
I dont have any pics but all will be clear when you see them
Remove all the clips and the wood will then be free from the door for you to wrap.
To refit i found it best to push back down the tabs on the clips on the work bench first and then remount the wood onto the door and refit the clips, the best way to fit the clips for me was to use a socket the same size as the clip and use it to push the clips on at the same time as pushing on the wood.
Trust me it is a easy job and it will become clear when you see the back of the door panel
I hope this helps.....

Thanks mate, I'll have a look into it later this week!

Nice wagon Wingnut. I like your ferrari style shifter too.

Clean and aggressive stance

I had my W210 lowered around your stance a while ago before I raised it back on thicker pads and riding on 18' Aero IIs now

Just installed 25mm spacers! I love how much better it sits and fills the wheel well
