Welcome to MBWorld. Where in LA are you getting your work done at? If you need recommendations, we know most of the local shops and all the ones that deal specifically with MBs most.

If you're ever looking to upgrade your w211 with whiter lighting, hit us up and we can set you up proper with HIDs and LEDs

E55 AMG
Thank You guys,
I think I am doing fine on the face lift for now. I have replaced all the following parts, Headlamps (adaptive lighting) and had to replace 2 ecus, Front bumper and three piece inner bumper mounting trims, Bumper meshes, Grill and grill badge also hood pull, fog lights, S class replica rear lights, both front shocks (Arnott), front brake pads and rotors.

I did all the work myself and I wished that I had joined the forum earlier, cause getting all the parts was a pain. Like I said I am almost done then i need to book it in to get the bumper painted.

Now I am looking for engine mods and advice, thinking to chip the car and getting a smaller pulley, Exhaust, Intake, what els????

Any Ideas??

Thank you Thank you .
