Replace the grille with the Distronic star grille to get rid of that ugly square "painted" sensor protector.

bob2011

Had it for one day and im in absolute love with it! GOBS of power, yet its civilized and composed!

bob2011

Agreed, the stock sensor protector is quite ugly, but where would i find the star grille?

Look at the 55Tech site, link below. I got mine from them 3 years ago. It came in three days. Send them an email to explain exactly what you want so you get it with the Distronic star. I like their service. I originally got the mesh basket model but then bought the car with Distronic and they gave me the solid star back for free. I paid shipping for it.


Somehow I understand they are located in Vancouver, BC.

The car looks good. Leave the grill and tint the windows!

bob2011

Thanks!

bob2011

Thank you!

bob2011

Tinting the windows is a must! Any idea what percent i should go? I had 15% last time, i couldn't see out at night. :/

bob2011

Any tips on what rims i should get? I like the stock rims, but I'm looking for a concave look.

Congrats. Get some 20 inch wheels and lower the car with lowering links. Those are my plans for this coming spring.

Congrats on the sweet ride. Love the color. Tint the windows (Medium 35%) all the way around, lower the car 1" via Renntech V3 Lowering module, maybe upgrade the rims and you'll have a stand out E550.

C280 Sport

Very nice! You are going to love the distronic feature.

Mods. Tint windows and remove front license plate

bob2011

Thank you! Definitely plan to lower the car, thats the easy part, selecting rims on the other part is hard. SO many choices! *_*

bob2011

Thanks bro! And if you don't mind me asking, how does the renntech module work?

bob2011

Thank you! And you are right i love Distronic! Didn't think much of it before i had it, now i don't think i can buy another car without it!

As dark as you can make it and still see to drive safely. About where people can see shapes inside the car but not make out what's going. I do not remember what the % is on mine.
