All I ask from the person that I ultimately send it to (Yes, I will even pay for shipping......ground anyway ) is the following:
1. You must have and be able to prove you own an E55 [YES]
2. You are a contributing member to this forum and have never called me a diickhead. [YES AND NO]
3. You do not intend to sell this gift. [WILL BE ON MY CAR WITH PIC OF NEW MOD]

So to win, what do you need to do? Well, like Denzel Washington so eloquently stated in Training Day, "Tell me a story"...........................................w hy should it come your way?
Well let’s see I am new here and have a very kick *** E55 same color as this spoiler you are giving away. Now my AMG is a 2001 I think it will fit with a good mod. Maybe? Here is a story.

AMG started as a "back yard" operation taking customers dealer sold cars and modifying them at owner’s requests. This started in the 1960's. AMG RACED a 300SEL 6.3 (w109 chassis) at Spa in the early 1970's. Through the seventies AMG grew as the premier after market modifier of Mercedes Cars. Generally you ordered your car through Mercedes and it then went to AMG for modification. AMG then licensed its operations to a number of USA dealerships so that there are many AMG cars in the USA that are really just standard cars with AMG body kit, wheels, steering wheel and sometimes suspension and engine mods. By the 1980's there were a significant number of W126 and W106 and W123 (to a lesser extent in the USA) being modified; W126 cars even had hugely powerful quad cam v8's custom made by AMG. In October 1990, Daimler-Benz and AMG signed a contract in which the partners agreed to engage in intensive cooperation in the development, production, sales and servicing of passenger cars and passenger-car parts. The first jointly developed AMG high-performance car – the Mercedes-Benz C 36 AMG – was presented in 1993. As a matter of course, it was built in accordance with the manufacturing principle adopted by AMG – “One Man, One Engine” – which is fully in keeping with the tradition of Gottlieb Daimler. This integration in the DaimlerChrysler Group, begun in 1999 and completed in 2005, Mercedes-AMG. In January 2005 DaimlerChrysler took over the remaining shares and has since been the sole stockholder of Mercedes-AMG GmbH. With this move, DaimlerChrysler secured the competence, the experience and the manpower of a partner who has over the years become the epitome of success in international motorsport, in manufacturing exclusive high-performance cars and in creating dynamic designs. Hopefully Mercedes will win on this years Formula One race-tracks. Your E55 AMG and mine both came from the womb of AMG Germany. This is some history on our cars maker. If you enjoyed this story then contact me for more info. Thanks.
P.S. I think this is a very cool gesture to offer up your spoiler to a member if it’s me or someone else enjoy. Dawson

Ok here is my story...

My username was created 4 or 5 years ago when I was kicking around the idea of buying an 01 CLK55. I ended up buying a 2001 996. Since then I have turned into a porsche fanatic. I have had a 2 996's, 1 Cayenne S and an 03 TT in the last 6 years. If you cruise Rennlist or 6speed you may have seen me around my username is "SANDOVAL". After 10 months of ownership I sold my TT 2 weeks ago. My thought when selling the TT was that I wanted something different. I have been in this Porsche bubble for so long I needed a breath of fresh air so to speak. On a whim thursday night I stumbled upon an E55. I never really thought about getting a Mercedes let alone a sedan. This car was an 03 E55 with a sick intior later I find out it was a high optioned special Presedential edition car. The color on the dealers photos looked hot (Tactite). I stay up until 4am surfing MBWorld learning everything I can about the E55. The performance numbers and plethora of options captures my attention and I loose track of time. After hours of reading I go to bed knowing I am probably going to buy this car if it is everything you guys say it was. The dealership opens at 9am, I called and made an apointment to see the car later that afternoon. Afterall I had to get some work done before I could go and play. I get to the dealership and the sales guy can not find the car. After 20 minutes he finds it on one of the floors of their parking garage. The sales guy pulls it up and the thing was filthy. Even with all the dirt I could tell the car was gorgeous. I was a kid in a candy store playing with all of the cool gadgets. The car was loaded with EVERY option available except Pano roof. I took the car out for the test drive it was a blast to drive. I said with a grin I could definatley drive this thing everyday! That was the problem with my P-cars I just did not feel comfortable driving them everyday on many levels that I will not get into. Now this car it is a happy medium between Sporty and Luxury. I tell the guy I will come back in the morning and to have it cleaned up. I came back Saturday and we made a deal. I can't begin to describe how much I love this car. I can't concentrate on work because I just want to go out and drive. If you guys know me from other boards I love to modify my cars. I have many plans for the car this is exciting because it is new territory for me. It is very weird being Porscheless but I am getting used to it.

Anyway I would love to have this lip It is one of the many mods I have on my list. I will be participating just as I did on 6speed and Rennlist. I have also given away thousands of dollars in parts over the years. I am so content with the car that I went back and extend the CPO an additional year. Bottom line I will enjoy the gift!

This is a kick *** gesture. It's great to be a part of the community. This forum is a wealth of knowledge, I loook forward to participating!


Here are some of my cars over the years:

Rock,

got relay from the 55 "gal" to pass along. she mentioned something about loving large pipe/s-the more the merrier. she seems unashamed when it comes to new potential "hardware" to her backside. i mentioned "it" would get slammed near her trunk. she puuuuurred in that deep throaty and pleasantly frightful sort of way. god love her. can't wait to get her back.

ps-SHE SEEMS TO WANT IT....

My vote is for the T-Bone

I was ready to write my plea: as your spoiler being my first mod on my barely broken in brilliant silver colored 06 E55, but a non-at-fault (or any)accident sucks and I vote for him.

"Well, you mind if I wait?"

" No, come in."

They sit down and the friend says "You know Nora, you have the greatest breasts I have ever seen. I'd give you a hundred bucks if I could just see one."

Nora thinks about this for a second and figures what the hell - a hundred bucks. She opens her robe and shows one. He promptly thanks her and throws a hundred bucks on the table.

They sit there a while longer and Chris says "They are so beautiful I've got to see the both of them. I'll give you another hundred bucks if I could just see the both of them together."

Nora thinks about this and thinks what the hell, opens her robe, and gives Chris a nice long look. Chris thanks her, throws another hundred bucks on the table, and then says he can't wait any longer and leaves.

A while later Tony arrives home and his wife says "You know, your weird friend Chris came over. "

Tony thinks about this for a second and says "Well did he drop off the 200 bucks he owes me?"
lmao!!! Nice one Josh!

My story. I bought a 2005 E500 and after switching over from Audi and BMW I thought this car was going to be such a step up and it was until I hit 5K miles and the trannny died.
After having my car in the shop for 12 weeks and 20K later in warranty repairs I was able to get my car back. MBUSA bought it back and after the car was gone was totally bummed that I no longer had my E that I loved driving.
2 months after she was gone my wife and I were at the dealership and saw a Pewter E55 and we both fell in love with it but not the price. Another month later we found a 2004 at MB Colorado and pulled the trigger buying the car sight unseen the car was shipped here and still get that grin we all get when you start the engine. The thing I lvoe aobout this forum is that a member on this forum saw the car and told me that the car was super clean and we closed the loop and now this car has been in my garage since Dec 05 and love driving it everyday. The renntech spoiler would look sick on my E (after I paint it tectite) and I love rockin it every chance I get.

After reading your post I think I am going to doing the same thing with a roof spoiler and grill I have from my past Audi B5 S4 and post a similar message up on Audiworld. Karma is at the center of us all.

btw - your car is sick - love the LM's

Thanks
Mike

3. You do not intend to sell this gift. I cherish gifts and keep them for good memories!!

OK as for my story ill keep it short and simple, I'm a very simple guy and all i ask for in a lady is a nice rear, and as i sit here looking at your ladies rear (hey im a guy) wait let me adjust myself... ok im better now, i thought to myself wow would i love to have that rear on my lady.

That's funny, the first E55 I ever saw on the road also had a rear spoiler.


DAWSON AMG- Sorry but I do not think it will fit an 01 E55.

Torquey55: Pharmaceutical grade? You sure it was produced under cGMP conditions? I think i need to audit your facility to ensure that you are an approved vendor!
