From: Currently Deployed to Afghanistan
E350 Wagon and CLK430
Hey, New to the forum CLK and Eclass owner

Hows it going? My name is Eddie. So let me start off by saying that I've been using this site for a while with my CLK430 W208 on fixes and light mods as well as now with my E350 wagon (w211) with images of ideas on what to do to it.

I'm currently in Afghanistan on deployment for my 4th time. So its pretty safe to say this site has been keeping me sane.. Im originally from NY (Freeport, Long Island) but have been living in California now since 2001 (San Diego)...

On to the cars. Sorry for the pictures, I only have what I had saved on the phone before deploying...

2000 CLK430 w208-
Pioneer Navigation.
W209 AMG style front bumper (bought it with it).
Fitapaldi wheels 19x9 i believe all around.
Most of it came with the car.
I put a lot of time into fixing wiring issues suspension/alignment issues, overheating, lighting issues, tires and more.

Future plans-
Get the front bumper waves smoothed out.
Change the headlights which are the CL style sitting in my garage.
Different wheels..
Caliper upgrade for the front.
Color change from silver to white alabaster or 3M white vinyl wrap entire car



2006 E350 Wagon-


Currently BONE STOCK until I get home.
Already purchased sonic tunning ST181 wheels 19x9.5 all around (they ran out of 19x8.5 so kinda had no choice)
285/30/19 Rear hankook V12 evo.
Still searching on a good deal 255/35/19
In the works with a fellow member for E55 Front bumper in White.
Looking to take out my non navigation Command unit for a Dynavin Most system.
waiting to be installed is the arnott rear bellows for when I return.
will be looking for front H&R springs.
eventually find a rear amg bumper for the wagon NOT FIBERGLASS unless its already painted and fitted white.
final swap will most likely be E63 calipers and rotors.

Any advice would be awesome. (Im new to mercedes but not to Cars
