Rear View

 

Hey glojo....i got the rims in 2003 and i kinda wish i stayed with the stock rims........ but i am old and married ...........and not a car freak as i used to be............so i take NO offense in your criticism.........

 

Hi Bobby thanks very much for taking my post the way it was intended.

White is not a popular colour over here so it is a change to see just how nice the colour looks on the 211.

Bye for now,
John

A sunny morning in Torquay

 

speedAsylum,

Thanks for the pics. That color is incredible! Your car looks great. What year is it?

Also, what kind of wheels are those?

I may have to call my dealer to change my order. Black Opal is awesome.

 

Hi John...I am getting close to ordering a new wagon (oops...Estate) and I am going to get it in Alabaster White with Ash and Burl Walnut. I had a '90 White wagon and really liked it. No diesel I am sorry to say but by the time they get around to deciding to put one in the wagon, I will be too old to drive it. I love my sedan but miss the wagon. Hope all is well with you.

19" OEM Multi-piece AMG style IV's.... '05 SL65?

 

Hello Jack,
It is so unfair that MBUSA have refused to import the 'wagon' into your country, but no doubt they have their reasons. Likewise I believe they have limited the options for the diesel? I wonder if they will review there decision when the new range of CDI engines come out for the 211.

We are very impressed with this modern, powerful engine and it is such a shame that you are missing out on it being fitted into the estate.

Good luck with your new car and I look forward to seeing pictures of it.

Regards,
John

A very windy afternoon in Torquay

 

Am I the only one who likes the Desert Silver Metalic?

 

Yeah,,,, smoke silver more :-)

 

No way. I like it a lot. It's not a very sporty color and sort off brings out the elegant side of the car. It's wonderful.

 

That was our thoughts also. We liked the black also but living up here in the snow belt we could never keep it clean.

 

My '97 C Class was the smoke silver and the E Class is desert silver - pretty much the same colors. I think it's an awesome color - combined with the stone interior (parchment on the C class) I think it looks great! I get compliments on the color all the time.

 

Some new pix of my ride.

 

Your car looks pimp! I would drop the front another 1" to dial in those sweet lookin rims! Probably the best lookin W211 I've seen so far!

Get the flat emblem if I may suggest and your ride will look

Good Job

 

Thanks for your comment! I actually lowered the front and the rear the same amount. The rear tires tuck into the fender about 1 finger, while the front tires flush with the front fender (goes in a little). You would think the front of the car is higher because the street where I took the picture at is not leveled. Also the W211 rear fenders are actually lower than the front fenders, thus giving you an illusion that the front is taller. In person, there are no gap between the front tires and the front fenders. However, I would play around with it some more and see how it looks if I lower the car 0.5" more.

 

Very, very nice. Looks plain, yet modded (in a good way). Most cars have the front higher / rear lower fender line issue, the best method is to keep playing with until it has that "raked" appearance (front just slightly lower than rear). For your car you do not need ot lower the front another entire inch (that would be WAY too much). Simply go down another 1/4 inch or so in the front to make it perfect (the rear is perfect as it sits now). The HRE's smaller lip and this spoke design actually combine to make a very lean, athleatic look.

Nice vehicle!

 

So it was a cold as hell yet sunny day out day and I just got it Benz washed on Friday and decided I finally take a few snaps...
