Richard Galing

Happy Modding

Wow, That's a real beauty. Very nice.

carlsson9

thanks for the compliments guys.. man, you should have seen it when it was stock.. :P

yesh Richard023, I reside in KL..you should pay a visit again..things have definitely changed since 95.. wayyyyy changed!

MBZ12

Very nice! Keep the mods coming....

Whitey

Nice ride but probably needs some exhausts......at least, and maybe also bling bling mirrors, rear cluster update.........here's a quick and easy one: fender Elegance Badge ---------> Carlsson

What peddles are those BTW and how much? I might need u to take me to get some.

Alexbenz

i thought you had that blue tint down to it???????

Whitey

He woz just recommending a place to get blue tinting.....

carlsson9

lol..i thought i was going too alexbenz..but the blue tint didn't quite show..i had a more of a subtle green.grey chromate kind of look..:P the blue tint was actually a lower grade of tint that didn't stop the heat as much as the green/grey one. The gold tint was just way too illegal over here..would have looked sweet, but if a cop ever pulled me over and asked me to scrape it off, i'd be really pissed.:P

Well, Whitey, i was thinking of exhausts, but my budgets been blown for the year. Was thinking of a remus exhaust system, or a supersprint in the near future. bling bling mirors and the rear clusters will probably be later on. For the rear cluster, might get the full white one, or the full grey one..or just the E55 one, whichever looks nicer. :P

Trust me, i wanted to change the elegance badge, but for RM 450 for original Carlsson badges, that's was way too much, even for me. :P they wouldn't happen to sell them over at HK? The peddles are original Raid peddles. They actually make the OEM brabus and AMG ones, 'cept they just replace the names. they're about RM670. they are my favourite! Fits snugly and replaces the original rubber pedals. No drilling reguired like those ebay ones.

But what i really want are those projectors and xenons!

Alexbenz

carlsson9 your telling me, i brought up the idea back in the day and it ended up being true, you don;'t know how bad i want these bad boys.........projectors are so niceeeeeeeeee...........

Whitey

Yep, lots of Carlsson side badges around - approx 100bucks Hongkie or less. I have AMG ones for 60 a pair - I opted for a smaller size for a more subtle look.

For the cost of those peddles, I could get the Brabus ones, so I think I'll give them a miss.

carlsson9

LOL..i know what ou mean alexbenx..i found out about the projectors when i read your thread..that's when i started to ask the guy i go too over here in KL.

he was pretty suprised, but he came back with the confirmation when he went to the tuners convention in germany. unfortunately, he only wants to sell german stuffs, and he's waiting for confirmation that they're made in germany and not in taiwan. If its made in the latter, he won't sell it, cause he's had previous experiences with taiwan made products and its just not worth it..

but for the looks of the projectors, I'm starting to not to care! :P

Richard023, how much did you get them for again, and whereabouts did it get shipped from?

carlsson9

****! that's cheap Whitey! do they look good though? made in HK?

you wouldn't happen to have pics of your AMG, so i can have a look? same kind of feel as the original elegance badges?

if it looks good, i'd be in your debt if you could purchase a pair for me!

Whitey

No, not in the style of the Elegance (Classic or Advantgarde) badges, more like what you have on the bumper, only smaller. I'll post a pic of various choices once I have it posted on the other forum.......Made in Taiwan, I think but what does it matter?

carlsson9

awwwwww....

well, it does to me in a way..wanted to keep the authenticity of the whole thing. saw a ML with the side badges and i was tempted to scraped them off, but the guilt would be too great to handle.. :P lol..

maybe with some pics, i might change my mind..

thanks for the info

Whitey

carlsson9

thanks moa4r...

Whitey

Here's a closeup of the one on the bottom right - I think Jimmy uses one that's the same style:



Ooops, that's an older pic:

Whitey

Better shot of what I settled with:



An older one I now use on my door sill (actually the top of the skirt):

carlsson9

That's pretty sweet Whitey..
if they have the Carlsson one similar to the elegance I'll definitely book one right now! (or like the one stuck in the ashtray cover)

nice carbon fibre gear knob..what is it?

jimmydagreek

Nice pics. carlsson9! You really need those mirrors and taillights though, hehehe. I found some Carlsson badges for the fenders but they are a bit bigger than the ones that Whitey posted. As soon as I get back to Cali. I am going to install them and then I'll send you the pics. They cost around $20US.

carlsson9

that's great jimmy..pics would be good to see...if theyre great looking, i'd appreciated if you could buy and send them over to me!

I'm desperate for those badges!

michakaveli

carlsson9...

Where did you get those "Mercedes-Benz" door sills. I've been looking for them online for a while and on Ebay but to no avail.

Richard Galing

Nice looking CF shft knob!!!
