W211 E270cdi
mrBakkens W211 build thread
Hi guys!
I wanted to make a thread about my W211 on this forum so i can gather all the questions I might ask, so i created one!
I`m from Norway and i`m currently owning my first Mercedes, it has a 270CDI engine because Norway is a f...d up country to own a car with larger engines.
But enough about that - I`m really interested in stance and fitment, i have modified some cars now, generally Volkswagens and Audi. And now i`m modifying my Mercedes.
It all started about a year ago, i bought it and it looked like this -
i bought some H&R lowering springs,, but they did not go low enough, so i chopped them a little. And bought and fixed up some Porsche Cayenne 9x20 wheels.

Then i got tired of those wheels and bought some MAE Linea (OZ Futura like ) wheels that are my current wheels now. They are 20x11 and 20x9,5, both ET40. Fitted them with Hankook 295/25 rear, and 245/30 front.
Like a glove.

I`m currently changing out some Avantgarde parts with OEM E63 optics
Changed the Lid plate to a facelift one also.
Last weekend i modified the exhaust, now it has straight pipes into the AMG tips.
More to come!
