Now if someone didn't follow where the wires should be clipped into and or routed I'm 100% sure there would be wires that would eventually break due to the stress of back and forth.

I've replaced dozens of mirror frames over the years for broken wires. Yours will need to get replaced at some point too, i promise.

It's not how they are routed or even if a wire is pinched, it's the simple fact everytime you lock or unlock your car they fold or unfold. I would say excessive use is the true culprit.

New suvneer front bumper and god hand lip v2 lowering module & AG M550 wheels (That i bought back lol) all done within the past few weeks. Had to get a wagon after selling my E55 due to twins so i had to find a cool but roomier & all wheel drive vehicle thought this would do.

Awesome looking Wagon! Nice Job. Looks like you did the hood star and rear nomenclature delete.

Our wagon has the 18" AMG wheels as well

IMO the wagons look like they're moving just sitting there

benzuovr,


Time to add some AMG calipers to that thing now. It would fill in the wheel space nicely. Clean wagon! I always loved wagons.

Loved the look of the W212 AMG Comand Emblem so I bought one with no idea where I would put it and ended up with this.

I looked into Video In Motion applications online and found 2 sites which offers the software to unlock the VIM code. Still skeptical and concerned about possibilities of installing software not knowing what's inside the software due to that I'm in IT and have seen first hand what infections and hacking can cause.
Plus don't know if the installed software could track the car using GPS as well?

Anyways, I really want this VIM, but still scared about the implications?

Has anyone ever installed this software or know enough about what this VIM code looks like to ensure that it's safe and won't allow someone to remote into my car and hack it?

Great modern look. I was looking into adding the "Mercedes Style" LED daylight running lamps to mine but you got the best of both worlds with those Spyder Auto housings. Looks like they are the ones to replace the factory Bi-zenon units? If so do you loose the dynamic beam control? A bit pricey @ $500+ for my wallet at this time.

Post a picture of the light out put/cut off on a wall about 25' away. Normally headlights like that the optics that are used are garbage.

Two tone interior




Hi every one!
Newbie here 🙂
so it was long day but I've done interior conversion from black to black/grey.
I'm not 100% sure if I'll do door cards as well, but I did strip the grey door cards for leather part. So will see.

Backed her out of the garage before taking cut-off wheel to some steel in the garage.

These are just the Halogen w/DRL. I'm thinking of an AUXBEAM LED upgrade but not sure yet.
