What will it cost chris to be back on the forum? I was going to suggest that maybe everyone paypals the moderators like a few dollars, i.e. less then 5 or even a dollar... or maybe even to chris....I will be willing to make a donation..

we are all getting priceless information from him and we all in some shape or form has gotten many freebies from him..or i'm sure that many of you have benefitted from the source of information...

Yes it's a ridiculous idea..but just a thought..

Designo Brilliant Black Paint W219
Raw talent!

In fact my jaw dropped following this thread and countless other threads by Chris The swede especially the CLS (W219) build. I don't want cars made by Mercedes anymore. I want cars designed and put together by "Chris The swede". It would be nice to have a decent signature from Chris the swede under the bonnet. Raw talent in force. You are just gifted my man. I have to plan a decent trip to Sweden so that you can take my car apart and give me a facelift designo CLS .

I hope to see you back soon on this forum. More power to your elbow Chris.

the site and some of the administration is run by children, even if you are on the defense they will find fault in you instead of sanctioning the real culprit, they'd rather suspend the innocent (i had my fair share of suspension) e mail chris and get info from his other site, i am sure he will open another account on some other site (not this site) this site is loosing so many great DIY individuals who are willing to share their knowledge and yet we have tons of administrator who thinks they know it all, for Chris it was indeed a violation, this site may be a free forum site with rules to follow, they need also income from advertiser and sponsors to keep the site running, and Chris was selling his goods on this site a direct violation of the house rule, but i wish they could have ask him discretely and i believe Chris will heed the call. its both the administrators, technical individuals plus you and i who makes this site work, if not of US all this site would die a natural death.

this is serious man and someone is making jokes of it, change some rules because this is ridiculous, u could write him private message like : sorry you can't advertize here please send pm, and delete the message or something, this is maybe the best project for s class ever, it is the biggest honor for your forum to have member like this who is sharing this invaluable experience! i think you must apologize him, i think most of all members agree with me

Hi Chris, first welcome back.

Your input to this forum is always of value.

Question:

For your big brake conversion can you tell me the part numbers need to make it happen?

You said

E55 front Caliper
S600 Rear Caliper

I can get rotors and pads off ebay myself. If you can give me the part numbers that would be great..anything else that I need to make it happen on my 07 s550 4matic?

Thanks!

Hey Chris,

Do you have the flash to change to the AMG speedo?
I believe you can do it with star DAS and rewrite software...any ideas.?
Thanks again, as always your knowledge is appreciated greatly.
