W212 Pre-facelift E300 AMG sport package
Finally replaced stock grill.
Tried to get the grill to look like as close as possible to the c207s grill.
The grill was chome, so I took it to paint shop and they've painted the bezels to black.

Yep! Ended up going with the Pinnacle also instead of Comfort. Didn't want the metallic look. Will post some pics later.

Thanks! The only other combination of star grill on a non-facelift w212 that I like is all matte black grill on white car.

^^^Most but not all of the first round mods are done.

I am dropping off the car with Tuning Technology Motorsports tomorrow. Bruce will lower the car on Vogtland springs, refinish the wheels OEM color, install ECS tuning wheel spacers (12mm front/ 15mm rear), longer wheel bolts and locks to make the tires/wheels flush, ECU with RENNtech tune and Weistech silver core BOSCH racing spark plugs, K&N air filters with the TTM air box spacers, modification and radiant heat shielding, GT Haus Meisterschaft GTS exhaust, AMG door pins and AMG racing pedals. He will also replace the BlueEfficiency badges with V8BITURBO badges, place the Powered by RENNtech side badges centered under the V8BITURBO badges, replace the 4MATIC badge with the RENNtech badge on the trunk and place carbon fiber TTM stickers on the side rear windows.

I should have the car back from TTM next week and then I just need to 1) wait for my rear rotors to come in (expected by the last week of September) and 2) install my vanity plate. All the remaining mods I listed in my first post are done already.

I will post photos that show all the mods by the end of September. The only mod I have a photo of is the limo black tint all around including the roof...thanks for asking

What state do you live that allows limo tint? Or do you have a particular license for chauffeuring or something that allows you to pass by?

^^^I am not aware of any state that allows it. Please don't turn me in

I had limo black all around (including sunroofs, T-tops and Targa roofs) on my Toyota MR2, Nissan Maxima, Lexus LS400, Vette, Range Rover HSE, and my Benz. Not sure why I never got around to tinting my 370Z or Firebird.

Never got in trouble with the law over window tinting...just keep the windows down when they approach

** Official W212 E-Class Picture Thread **-12inchwidereartires_zps5da286c2.jpg




I don't want to cause any trouble but I also didn't have a front plate on my Firebird, MR2, Vette, 370Z or Benz.

The 10 Spoke AMG E63 wheel and tires are for sell if anyone is interested. Wheels are in perfect condition with no curb rash and the tires have 90% thread life. They are as seen on my white E63.

I will post photos and vids of all the first round mods (listed in post #1556 of this thread), including the GT Haus Meisterschaft GTS exhaust, once the following second round mods are done (ETA end of September): 1) upgraded brakes and 2) wire intercooler for lower temp. I am discussing these with Bruce from TTM tomorrow.

The E550 4Matic sports sedan is my station car and daily driver. I feel the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires are the best application for my intended horsepower.

I had Toyo R888's on my 10 second Vette (see photo below) which was also a station car and daily driver and couldn't have been happier with that decision.

** Official W212 E-Class Picture Thread **-toyo-20proxes-20r888-20competition-20road-20racing-20tire-20305-2035zr-2018-202_zpsguqt.jpg

I feel I do not need a pure "R-compound" tire like the Toyo R888s or the Mickey Thompson ET street drag radial II because power is going to 4 wheels on the Benz instead of 2 wheels on Sleeping Beauty. I am very happy with the decision. As you have probably read and seen on many reviews of the Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires, they are amazing.

That's badass dude, I want to do an M278 next and go through Kleemann, still deciding CLS550 4-Matic or E550 4-Matic, but you're inspiring me already.

^^^What model year are you looking to purchase? I see you already own/ed a 2007 E550 4Matic.

I like the lines of the E550 better than the CLS but everyone has their own preference.

Are you considering the AMG version or do you plan on building as you see fit?

When you said you would like to go through Kleeman, did you mean buy from them or buy a tune or exhaust or other upgrades from them?
