Wow, thanks for all the support and kind words!! It's great to know your effort's are appreciated. Because, we all know how restless the natives are in these parts LoL.



Sher Judge: Thank you! I like these hankooks for ride quality and cost. I got my wheels road force balanced and the car rides really good. Maybe its the fact that I'm going from 30/25 series tires to 35-30s. But, I'm satisfied with the looks and ride quality. Performance so far is good.

I really like the Michelin PS2's because they offer amazing grip and look great. They are pricey and it would be nice if they lasted longer. We put continental's on my buddy's SL65 and I was shocked at how much grip it has. I didn't get enough time on the bridgestones or dunlops though. If I had at least one more car to spilt the mileage with I would run Michelins or Conti's. Since I only have the E and my truck as a daily commuter. I'll just have to stay on the hankooks for now. Hope this helps





BenzoDoc: You should do it. Ive had the conversion on for 2 years and I don't get bored looking at it.


Now if I only had camera skills like MPRESIV


JAMe55: I agree, I think it has a more aggressive stance now


taurran: I did the bumper and grill and every other part that goes with the nose of the car. For the rear I added the lower part of the trunk and the tail lights. The hood is the same. I like the blue tinted windows from Mercedes. Thanks for the compliments!


Thaa Kidd Marky: The hood is stock.


guysandiego: I bought the wheels from an MBworld vendor called sonictuning.


Thanks to everyone else!

Cheers Max.H, sounds good to me, I was very curious about the brand, as they are becoming very popular locally in South Africa. Will try them on my E55 and see how they work for me. Thank you.

Worth the wait

Absolutely stunning!
Very tastefully done...just goes to show that these cars can look fantastic with just a few key mods! No need to over do it.

Very well done sir!

Max.H

No problem Sher Judge.



Thanks Worth the wait! I agree, you can go over board if you're not careful. I try to keep things subtle and clean with my exterior mods.

Where did you get your grille painted and what did it cost? I was considering using that plastic spray but I really like the color matching. Did they limit your paint warranty in any way for fearing it would chip easily?

What is the different in the E63 headlights vs E55 headlights?

Max.H

I got it painted at new life auto body in Fullerton. I don't remember the cost because, it was back in early 2009 when I did the conversion. There is no paint warranty because it's very difficult to paint plastic chrome. They had to scuff it and use some type of flex agent before painting the grill. I actually got it resprayed a few weeks ago because of chips over time. They did the job as a favor because, Ive brought them a lot of work lately.

Feel free to pm me, I'm sure I can get you a good price if you want


06E55: The E63 have 3 eye lids on the top portion of the lights where the E55 is just open. It looks newer and better imo.

06E55

Gotcha. Thanks for the info...
