Here are a few pics of my New to me , One owner E55 85K miles , I am loving this car, hvnt driven a sedan since 2000 , it was an Audi A6 , I just sold my 08 Jeep SRT and got lucky finding this Subtle beast E55. Getting the rims resurfaced & tinting the windows ASAP .
And again Ricky thanks for the Pelican link , A DIY'r dream link.

The car looks CLEAN! Nice ride Look at those horns

Swap those tail lights out with the face lift version, they look so much better.

WBE55

LOL Yeah those horns have got to go, I was nervous when i first saw them, are your talking Tails from the 2000 & 2001 E55 , and is it a direct fit ?

Thanks

That's why I've asked in a thread below.

+1 Cleannnnn

As Fabio stated get the new taillights. I had the newer 2000+ taillights when I had my 99 E430 so I know it can be done. (with some time and work) and if you are really feeling frisky Depo retrofit headlights. Best mod I did on my car, its like a laser show at night

BTW if you find the rubber radiator clip let me know I can't find one

Description: Radiator Support (Tie Bar) Above Radiator Not sure if this is the part.

MB_Fahrer

Thanks, I'll check it out when I get over to my other shop tomorrow/monday.

Hmm now that I think of it shouldn't the older face lift have this? anyway easy way to check is - see if you have a dot that's empty.

Im talking about this rubber (the blue foam used to support the radiator is not original, and looks ugly in this beautiful engine bay.

All OEM parts. They ship directly from Mercedes Benz. I'm buying a pulley along with a few other small things.
