Congrats! Beautiful whip you got there, but I can't tell from the pics if it's silver or gold?

Thanks for sharing the pics!

Welcome to MBWorld. Searched for an E55 and ended up with a CL55?

Grats on the pickup and lucky catch with the power issue. Good thing no accident when that happened.

Let us know if we can help you out with updating her with some new whiter lighting. We specialize in plug and play LED/HID upgrades

That's gorgeous, dude. Guy brought one into the shop the other day that was the same color- pics don't do it justice.

It wasnt hard. I was just frustrated thinking it isnt the right pump because its smaller than oem. But after checking online i just decided to retrofit it. Used some hd dirt bike tube around the pump and a clamp. Came out to be solid.
