Always PM me and I take care of it..

Chris,

Amazing project. Two things:

1) Why did you paint after you installed the new interior? I would have thought it would have been better to strip the interior, get it painted and then install the new interior

2) Now you just need the S65 IWC center clock!

1. Didnt know when it was going for paint and it is a daily driver.
2. Dont like it. I did the standard facelift clock instead with the chrome star. Looks more exclusive for a S-class.

Amazing!! My only comment was the rear seat wrinkles but it looks like you are taking care of that.

As for the interior/exterior order of operations...better to do the interior ripping out and install first, THEN paint because you risk scratching/damaging the new paint while taking out the interior.

GREAT job! Can't wait to see the final product!

WOW, absolutely fantastic work (and on the E55 Wagon). The interior has a "designo" look to it now, so I love that.

What "rare" options does your S550 have?
I am always interested in see and finding out about those types of things and that which isn't always offered here in the States.

Chris The Swede

Thanx a million!!! Well..kind of hard to say when I dont know what is rare option in the US.

Are you repainting it the same color or will you be going with a color change?

bensitto

Nice job with the upgrades, looking really good!

Chris The Swede

Nice!!!! rears only or will you do fronts as well?
How about rotors?

Also please post all part numbers for these if you can many people are interested in getting slightly bigger brakes on the S. I know i am.
Wish i could get my hands on Euro speck S600 brakes.

Chris The Swede

In front I will use W211 AMG E55 full set up. I have it laying around...In rear I will use SL55 drilled rotors and SL65 pads.

YYZ-E55

I love this! Total respect for what you're doing.

Chris The Swede

A little teaser pic of it finnished....

malahhaor

Nice but im a tad confused. wouldnt it be easier to polish and wax than repaint it? Was the paint that bad?

Chris The Swede

Yeah....Bumps,Stonemarks and deep scratches...You see all the spackled places.

malahhaor

yeah, noticed that after posting, sorry.

I cant wait on your brake upgrade though... are rottors little bigger or youre just going for better calipers?

Chris The Swede

Yes they are much bigger.

Chris The Swede

Just for all you so you know..I just got a warning from admin for helping you guys getting these same parts..So I can NOT sell anything anymore if I dont start as a sponsor on this forum. Members loss..Not mine..

tonykharper

That is a damn shame. The whole ideas of these forums is for members to help each other.

Yea, I see paid advertisers should get something for their sponsorship, but on the other hand, if they provided the goods and services no one would need to go to other members to scource information and parts. We could get it all from the sponsors. But that is not the case is it?
