Plans to make that hood are still on the table. Other projects have taken priority but it's still open. It just depends on how much serious interest there would be for a hood for the W211. Mercedes has a way of over-engineering a lot of things, so it can be a complicated piece to make keeping all the stock mounting hardware, grill, sensors, wiring, etc. in place.

Yes the wiring harness is different. No idea how much effort it would take to make it work on older cars or if it's just cost prohibitive.

Simon,
On a somewhat unrelated note, i am very excited to get my headers, throttle bodies, intercooling package and wiring from you guys via Troy at Group 5. i love the rotors, and really feel these mods will be the nice finishing touch. Im the guy with the Silver e55 that just posted about my new HREs...

They speak highly of you and obviously so because when I asked about these kinds of mods, they directed me straight to Evosport. Just waiting on the headers to be done and shipped to Group 5, and then we are all set. Thanks Simon!

My First Mrecedes, 2006 E55 AMG
Wow, love this site!
Selling my 2000 Porsche 911 and acquired an '06 E55 AMG for a SWEET price!
I do not like the wheels and need some advice.
If I go with 20's what can the offset be and what size shoes?
Can the wheels be staggered? Specs?
or
Are 19's a better choice since I can have a little more rubber between the rim and the street. It is a daily driver....
How much of a offset/stagger can I have with the 19's?
Anyone have more pictures w/ black wheels...blk/chrome staggered...
chrome wheels staggered.
Thanks for the help.
Lovin' it!

'06 E55 AMG Evosport project car. 2nd Owner
Wow, so I guess I'm second owner of this car. I just purchased it today for a price that was fair to me, all things considered.
Glad to be a member of the community.

Simon,
Would you please explain why you have more than a crankshaft pulley in your upgrades and what the benefits are from having the underdrive and alternator pullies...
I am just trying to learn as much as I can about your different stages and differences between other applications.
TIA>

There are a couple other pulleys we include in the evo1 kit that mitigate belt slip and belt walking. We know just about every tuner has experienced belts shredding on these cars because the clutch engagement is pretty violent on the Kompressor. The stock belt wrap leaves a lot of travel where no idler or tensioner is present, allowing the belt to walk under high boost. To address this we've added a couple additional pulleys to mitigate this so the belt is always under guides.
