I have return! & very happy

Hi guys

I'm a proud new owner of a beautiful S550 4Matic 2008, I picked it up about 3 weeks ago now. I got it with 60000km one owner very very clean. I have every option except night vision, I also have the AMG sport package plus the panoramic roof. I was a member last year for about a week lol cause I had a 2007 S550 that I returned a week later due to a transmission leak.. I have only done lil minor things so far like painted the grill black & smoked corner lights I put 20% mirror tint all the way around with front banner, 2 12" subs & I just ordered some Vossen 22" staggered set up with 295/25/22 rear & 245/30/22 front.. I should have them in a week or so.. I have no idea how to post pics from my iPad, if there is anyone that i could send some photos to that could post them for me I would really appreciate it.
Thanks guys I'm happy to be a proud member again the right way this time lol

Welcome back. Hopefully in addition to all the fun mods you also bought a warranty for this one. You can PM me your pics if you'd like.

Thank you

I actually didn't get a warranty but I have a really good Indy shop that I get amazing discounts plus I only pay 50$ a hour. This is my 34th car & I'm 32 but I know how expensive it can be coming from 2 745LI & my last car being a Audi S5 I'm used to fixing things lol

hmm, 34 cars in 16 years assuming you starting driving since 16 years old. That's 2 cars a year on average. I hope you're just an impulsive buyer and not wrecking them. HAHA Welcome back and hope you still longer this time.

Lol thanks... Actually I started driving when I was 18. I tend to get tired of cars fast. But this one is definitely a keeper. I will post some pics when my rims & lowering links come in next week

I purchased the same exact vehicle 2 months ago. I am looking into the Vossen CV3 in 22". But i am torn between staggered or the equal setup because of the 4matic system. Let me know how the 22s ride!! When you get them.

I get a bit of rubbing on the right rear side, because the rear is not exactly even but there is nothing I can do about the unevenness however it's not really noticeable. The rear only has one link to lower it.. But I love the end result I think it looks amazing and the ride is still very comfortable my drop I would say is probably 2 to 2.5 inches.. I wanted to tuck my tires all the way around but the back would rub to much.. Even with a fender role.. My setup is super flush!! I don't think it could get any flusher.. I would love to show you guys pics, if there is anyone I can email some photos to so they can post it up for me I would really appreciate it...
