hooligan

those blades work pretty damn good for the price.

how are you liking the sprint booster?

djrabbi

Adding to the theme some new mods for December..

1. Smoked corners - few weeks into it.. I'm debating on taking them out in favor of black painted oem ones.

2. OEtuning 550 V8 tune - 20% off dec special

3. As rec from Jeremy of OE, aFe Pro Dry S air filters - found 2 on amazon warehouse deals for $44 each

4. W212 Side mirrors with puddle lights wired to interior lights.

Things I did labor wise... I did all the seals inside and out with Aerospace Protector from F404, amazing stuff, did all the thick seals in the engine bay and doors all the way around.

My 2012(and far beyond) wishlist still includes LED interior and license plate lighting, LED parking lights, SS brake lines(not sure whats on there now), Mercedes oem towel like seat cover, replacing the engine cover clip that is missing, replacing the read door panel covers with oem shade panels, AMG Brakes, AMG front seats, ELM V2.0, DEPO Smoked brake light lens.. probably other odds and ends I don't need to really spend any money on.

i was looking at your instal ^^^ nice work...

how hard are the housings to pull? i want to put LED in my mirror puddle lights but you have to do it from the inside (switching the bulb)

no the lip is for amg pre face lift! so 03-06

thanks! i changed the whole center console, pics below

also installed my w7

hooligan

nice ive been thinking about doing the roll top..got any pics of it open...im only really bummed about the mini cup holders lol
how you liking the sub setup?
no luck on the lip for my lil ole e500 lol

Craftysince86

i love the cup holders so much more than the pop up one, i HATE the pop up cup holder. too much work to open and the other under it can only hold thin cups. the roll top is so much classier imo



what lip are you looking for? you have an amg or non amg bumper?

hooligan

i have a non amg..which im wanting to swap out as well..but i wouldnt mind a lip to get me by til i get the front rear and sides of a amg
thanks or the inside pics..think ill start hunting for a roll top

Craftysince86

Not sure if I know of a lip on a non AMG front... There is a silver AMG bumper that went up for sale just now really good price on the bumper

Craftysince86

Gersh320

Washed the salt and grime off of her, yes it was raining a bit while I washed but I couldn't stand seeing all that salt on my car!!!! Pulled in the garage and she will rest for the remainder of the weekend.

Has anyone added Sirius Satilite to their 2005 W-211?

Just bought a nice E-320 CDI, and of course it does not have satilite radio, and I really miss that!

Got the proper module and added it, but the screen still says 'No Satilite'.

Anyone familiar with what I need to do to get everything working?

All suggestions will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I believe you have to have your dealer activate the module via "Star".
Give them a call and they can verify.

xzavier88

installed HID's

XLR82XS

Got new AMG wheels:

09W211

Nice. Mind letting me know how the ride quality is on these after you get them installed?

Craftysince86

i'll def make a thread for them once they are installed... i feel like there is so little info about full bodied coilovers for w211 so i will def report on them

just picked up a amg rear bumper $465 shipped

spinn

Changed oil/filter and installed gently used E55 steering wheel.

xzavier88

Put $70 worth of gas in the tank

delviacv2

Shirley you DID NOT put GAS in your CDI?

Say it is not so Mertile! That would mean death to my last ride, a VW CR TDI.
Destroys the HPFP and the entire fuel system to the tune of appr. $10K.

Just joking, as we know that yiou did not 'gas-it.'
