Hello from over The Pond

Hi there.
Awesome site you have here guys. I've been reading for a bit and thought I would register.
Bought myself a 2005 E55k AMG... Love it! I've come from owning skyline Gtr's for the past 16 years. Wouldn't go back now as the E55K is a beast...!
Just collecting a few parts before I set off tuining..! 77mm pulley,headers,ic pump,ic cooling box,then remap. Exhaust is already done
Anyway I'll shut up now

Welcome dogbreath. E55 is the greatest E-Class ever as far as I'm concerned. Are you going to bring her looks up to par with all the performance mods?

Thanks for the welcomes! Yes definitely will be adding wheels 19 or 20. Don't know which yet, need a bit of info on how harsh 20's are gunna be, we have **** roads over here!
Then it's carbon front lip and diffuser. I've already bought these from Taiwan/China and sent them back... Absolutely **** quality and wouldn't go anyway near the car when test fitted, even bodyshop wouldn't try they were that far off.....!

There's no denying that the 20's will be a harsher ride when compared to the 19's. If the roads are in that condition then the choice is definitely clear to me. I'll send you over some photos shortly of things we've done with the E-Class in the recent past.
