2011 Issue of my E55

Almost purely cosmetic this year, but performance minded.

ADV.1 ADV10 Trakspec wheels... 19x8.5f | 19x10r
Michelin PS2 Tires 245f | 275r
EVOsport Rotors
Brakes painted to match Kleemann BBK
Akebono Pads
Quaife LSD
CLS63 Instrument Cluster
W212 Style Mirror Buckets
E63 Tail Lights
Kleemann Hood and Trunk Badges
Kleemann Illuminated Door sills
Complete Stereo Overhaul (I'll make another thread about this later)

Major thanks to Cory @ Kleemann (This guy seriously is the man), Peter & James @ ACG, ADV.1 crew, Charlie (930chas) for all the moral support, Bruce @ TTM, Travis @ Peak Eurosport (for the great job he did on the brakes), Nylunds Collision Center (for the fantastic paint work they have done for me), Steve @ MBenzNL (for the euro OEM pieces, the CLS63 cluster and the emails back and forth to get things working! Class act guy!) and my Denver AMG mates for the motivation to mod this car.

Ronnie and I have a shoot scheduled for May 14th, but I figured I could share some pics in the meantime.

Enjoy

Words can not describe how amazing your car looks bro. Rolling perfection of the e-class style. The wheels, the brakes, the stance, the subtle touches, everything combined is just......so ****in spot on! Makes that lonnnggggg wait well worth it!

That's freakin' hawt. I'm lovin' those mirror buckets and, as always, the E63 front bumper. The wheels look awesome as well. Almost like smaller versions of my wheels.

Thank you buddy! Always The minute I decided to keep the car was the minute all this started. 6 Months was a long time to wait for a lot of these parts but the end result was well worth it all.

Thank you Jon! I'll have to email you some pics of the stereo. Thanks for all your help on that! The advice you gave, as well as photos were a tremendous help!

Thanks! Me either, I'm meeting up with Ronnie in a couple hours for cars & coffee to chat about location and such. The guy does such great work.

Thank you!

Again, thanks for all the kind words guys. It's this forum's members and supporting vendors that keeps my high interest in pushing the limits for my car and keeps my creativity in check (which helps me keep a job and stay innovative in my own life) so much thanks to everyone here for all the support and of course the kind/constructive criticism.
