Never been to a meet and I just got my Benz, so I would definitely like to check out what some of you guys did to your cars. I live in the city, but I work in Queens, so I am down to everywhere you guys planning to have it.

I think he means the strips on the front bumper that doesn't have the reflectors like the ones on my Euro version E. However, I'm very keen to find out more about the LED tails...how does it work? and how do you stop it from triggering the lightout warning on the dash?

they are w211 sport package led's that were put on to a 04 w211 e500 so no lightout warning on the dash for the tails/leds

Nah, if its just a W211 option plugged into a W211, its no mean feat....

Pulley puller? When the guy did my alternator one, he just undid the bolt and pulled it out by hand but I guess it depends how tight your's is......the hard bit, from what I saw, was getting the belt on. Good luck and do post some results. Oh, can you please measure and tell me how big each of those Evosports ones are? Thanks bro.

Yeah Dave I will measure them for ya,I can tell you this tho,they are really light.Do you know anyone who has posted a step be step on these pulleys? I dont want to pay to install them,Im sure if someone has personally done them like Mark Cummins for instance,they would be a big help.I posted a "help me" thing in w210 forum.

So what's the real deal on this NYC meet? This thread is all over the place with no real NYC meeting date. Are we meeting in NYC or are we doing the BenzWorld meet?

Yeah I can't make it the labor day weekend either. Got weddings to attend on Saturday and Sunday. I am a newbie with a stock MB. Would like to check out some of the other people's cars for ideas.

I'm in Long Island so I'd love to come too. Can't do the Labor Day meet, doing a Canada trip that weekend. Let me know when. How about Eisenhower Park? Lots of room there. (ofcourse its around the corner from me).

I couldn't make it to labor day benzworld meet. I don't mind coordinating it, but I am a newbie here and my car is very stock.

A meet will be nice to meet some new friends with the same hobby. Meet the face behind the thread. I would like to meet a few people and say thank you for all their advises and help. We can talk about cars and mods. Just hang out, take a whole bunch of pictures, grab some lunch, and have fun.

Any senior members in NY would like to volunteer and coordinate the event?
Any recommendation of date and location?
