So you sprayed the wheels still on the car (plastic on fender and brake caliper). Wonder how it sticks at the point where rubber and the rim meet...?


Looks very nice and I see you have the best money can buy for the tires too...

Thanks!

But i have 1 question

When i drove the LOW TIRE PRESSURE indicator got turned on and i dont even have TPMS installed on the tires
Does this have to do with that its a more bumpier ride that i changed from 17s to 19s , is there som kind of sensors that senses that ? Its pretty weird

You need the TPMS valves installed. The system is attempting to connect and they are not there. Or a Mercedes dealer may be able to change the computer settings, I am not sure.

Well the air sensor light is gone, never had it again so it must have been something wrong. This is with the rear end raised to the max ( air in back)

so far so good

So just came back from my trip to serbia, got my car polished and everything went fine. Riding on 19 vs 17 was not so harsh, even better the car handled on the autobahn. Got it up to 232 km/h

I did this to my old Range Rover, and really it is not too bad. They last a relatively long time without looking to ratty. Even in the car wash (this was the old ladies car, i would have never taken it through a car wash) they lasted okay. One thing i noticed is that brake dust tends to stick to the coating and make it very difficult to clean off without damaging it. I found that to be the hardest part. Even road salt (live in Indiana) did not hurt it....

It depends (of course..) - but it's generally high prices for houses/condos too. No not all cars are expensive - only the fun ones with lots of horsepowers..

Beer (or alcohol in general) is also quite expensive.. (yeah, it sucks!)

Well.. Norway is a fantastic country, I would believe one of the best in the world togehter with Denmark! very nice, nice people, rich country and with very low crime-rate.

But Norway is not so nice to drive a car in, the speedlimits are way to low, and there are very few motorways/highways.
The fines for speeding is ridiculously high, in kombination with low speedlimits is the driving in Norway terrible.

There are also speedcameras with Automatic section speed control wich measure the speed beetween two cameras!

You can even go to jail for speeding, it is totally crazy! wtf!!

Come to Sweden instead

Great looking car. I like the w212 / s212 wagons.
If you happen to take any really good pictures, feel free to send them to my instagram account below (specializing on W212/S212 E Class)

Also- from past experience with plastidip, it chips away after awhile and needs touch up.

has a nice tape (both flat and gloss) that could work well on that window trim and trim on the rear diffuser that may last better.

btw, looks like covelline blue is not a common color? mercedes taiwan says it's a new color added from August 2015 onwards; only the last 2 batches of production cars have this color (perhaps just the local market) and will be used in the new W213.
