Did you get the steel fenders? I'm presuming they are aftermarket ones since OEM is aluminum, correct? I want to redo both my front fenders and increase clearance.

Craftysince86

Lol thanks... It's te reason I haven't bought those DPE wheels...

Lol you seem like you do ok too

Yea def they are aftermarket, the aluminum is too brittle to reshape or aluminum welding is expensive... The fenders were cheap a hundred a side, but the body work left me at just under a grand without paint

I try, I feel like I want to spend so much money on mods and related things right now I almost feel guilty about it, being a student and maintaining and modding a nice car is hard I will give you that but for now at least I have my awesome parents to help on the upkeep.

I am not sure how to tell you this, but I think you're missing a few small pieces maybe just the impact strips, Crafty.

Car went to paint a couple hours ago... Will be done this week

AMGAffalterbach

Can't wait to see the results.

DarkieJohn

what are you doing crafty?

Craftysince86

Painting it, new bumpers, new headlights, and side skirts

DarkieJohn

what bumper?

Craftysince86

Just the 55 with carbon lip, I like the older ones better

AMGAffalterbach

Really? I personally like the more pointed look but that's all up to you man, I'm sure it'll look sick either way. What are you doing for the headlights? (P.S. it would scare me to death to see my car like that, not that you're doing anything wrong but it makes me so nervous lol :0)

Craftysince86

I like chubby cars that's why I like the old fronts they are more rounded and beefier...

AMGAffalterbach

The question is does that preference transfer over to women =P

Hahaha but yeah you're right they do have a broader look, and if that's the continuous image you're creating for you car by all means post some hi-res pics when you're done.

55 bumper looks clean. that's the reason i wanted this car tbh. didn't even realize the facelift bumper was different from the e55 bumper until i bought the car. i'm considering going with the 55 bumper just so i can throw on that carlson lip. i don't understand why manufacturers make a lip for the ugly non-amg sport facelifted bumper but not the facelifted amg sport bumper.

Craftysince86

yea i like the carlson a lot, very simple! but i like everything else about the face lift body lol

Looking good, I am starting to fall in love with white Mercedes all over again - my opinion is that they should only come in black and white, suits the W211 soooo well ^^ In my opinion, it would also be really cool on that car to get the hood vent painted black as well to match the grill for greater contrast.
