congrats,

i'm a big fan of white.
car looks terrific!
great pics. where were the pics taken?

Crankin

Nice ride!
Is that window tint the kind that blocks uv rays and heat, like MB uses in their performance glass windsheilds?

apricotscrub

all 2000+ models come with the V-Kool I understand, or at least all S-Classes, they are so obvious once you can spot the hexagon in the windshield that you can point it out almost instantly, my 2000 doesnt have the hexagon.

Awesome car. Love the look of the white car and the tinted windows. I'd love to see it with the bigger 19" AMG rims.

ya~those are factory floor mats~i think MB should have done better than that~~



thanks~indeed~i'm having lots of fun driving it~~~


ya~~that's a very good pict of yours~~for some reason i couldn't a get a better shot of the signature~~~how's your car doing? how many miles have you put on so far?

ya~Huper Optik Ceramic film is supposedly one of the best film available on market~~~it blocks you from the harmful rays and does a really good job is cooling the interior!!!! It cost me quite a bit to tint all around~but it's definitely worth it!!!

btw~the rear window came with factory tint~~I was told it's the same technology as the Huper Optik ceramic film that was originally invented by guess who? by mercedes-benz~


indeed~white looks really good on the big S class~although it's illegal to tint the front windows~i decided to go ahead coz the car doesn't look as good untinted~

Ya~~i've been looking for 20" rims~~LM5 or LM6~~~can't really decide~~any suggestion? On the other hand~~i'd like to stick with these AMG rims~i wish MB had these in 20"~~


Thank you all for your compliments~~

Doing well. Approaching 5000 miles.

Absoultely georgous!

I suggest you de-limit the car!

Spectacular ride! Great color combo!

ya~i've been sourcing for delimiters~~i think i'll go with Renntech~~their Performance Package 2+Performance Package 1 plus Sport Rear Exhaust.

i was told that they're the only folks that can delimit through software~without touching the engine~~which i'm afraid would void the warranty~~can anyone confirm that?

any one had they're car delimited? any suggestions would be great~


i thought so~~how fast did u go up too? did you have your CL delimited? would you?

awiner

I'm looking at all 3 tuners now (Kleemann, Renntech and Brabus). I want to a pulley/ecu upgrade which will gain 50+ hp and change top speed to ~187. Most tuners will not delimit entirely since there is no tries that will handle 187mph or above on the tries available today.

Hi marklu98..nice car and nice picture. Are those picture taken in burnaby mountain or usa?? cuz it looks so much like vancouver..ha ha.

AmgBoy

Great looking car! I think that going with a 19" Mercedes wheel would be awesome. The split 5 spoke wheel is what I am thinking of but I don't remember the exact model name. I would stay away from a 20" if I were you, in my opinion just a little to much and to flashy for a bahn-burner!!

Cheers.

P.S. Check out www.hrewheels.com, they make some of the best quality wheels available. Every order from them is a custom one (i.e. you choose lip size etc.)

pocholin

Great looking car congratulation, white looks better than I expected

Any chance of taking it to the track to get some real life time 1/4 mile figures???

marklu98

yes indeed~the picts were taken on the mountain when i visited a friend last week~




that's exactly what ppl have been telling me~~so for me it's either 20" (for the look) or stay with stock wheels (for the comfort)~19" doesn't make that much of a difference anyway~i don't think it's worth the trouble and money~

marklu98

does anyone have picts of 20" lm5 or lm6 on their white w220?

marklu98

ya~probably sometime after break-in~we'll see how it goes~~but certainly not now~

my401

this was the most respected auto at AMG challenge in Daytona!!
For me anyway!!!
Also it was the only car that was taken out of service. Because the driver seatbelt would not release?
Still My Dream. will trade for fastest C32
