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 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?

Trying to Add Sirius?
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.

Say FUEL please
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.'
