2001 55AMG with 60K miles on it, still work in progress but already driving and enjoying it already. Still a lot of work needs done and need to paint it, planning to do it next spring.
Everything was done by me, Leather interior, caliper work , the only thing i didnt do was pulling the frame.

Very nice. Are there big gaps between the hood and the 2 fenders?
I didn't realized there's one until I put everything back together. Now I'm trying to figure out how to correct for it.

Thank you
On these ML cars gabs are little bigger then most newer cars, but if yours are really big, to adjust that loosen the screws on top of the fenders and adjust to what you need and tighten the screws.
Yours dont look bad, i think when you fix your hood you should be ok.

DrDoe

Oh. I didn't think about adjusting the fenders. Thanks for the tip.

Hi,

I also have a 55 and thinking to replace the front lights, which ones did you go for? Looks great! I have the stock 55 xenon lights, so wanted to make sure whatever i get is compatible with existing connections etc. Secondly, which door handles did you get? also looks great!

thanks, Lars

Got them on Ebay pretty happy with them, very good for the price. Dont know how they will hold up with time, guess ill find out and i put in a LED bulbs in them because the bulbs they come with not very bright. What year is your ML? if its 02 and up you dont have to do nothing but if its pre 02 you have to switch wires inside the headlight, other than that its just plug n play.
i will include the link in here to the Ebay item.These are smoke darker glass if you want you can get clear.
