Finished with the mods for now

Hey guys so im done with my beast for now

its been a crazy 2 weekes to get everything i wanted sorted and there is still a little more to go but im excited for you guys to see my car now and give me your opinions.

i have carbone fiber wrapped the grill and the roof, resprayed my rims for the new tyres, changed all the light fittings to white lights, tinted the mirror indicator, the 3rd brake light as well as the tail lights

on and you'll be glad to see that i have but back the fender liners now that the are all cleaned up and looking fresh

oh and im waiting for the carbon fiber boot spoiler which hopefully will be here this week.

Thanks guys

Good observation! Some countries have sunroof as option .. if I had the choice, I would not want one really. Just extra weight and that stupid internal cover keeps sliding back under acceleration.

Nicely done on the mods. I am no where done on my mods ...

He is in South Africa, right hand drive etc. Maybe they had the option to not come with one.

Jou motor lyk voken lekker boetie. Trek daardie Brabus emblem af, en gooi dit in die bin

Ek dink jy moet verf die chrome mb emblems in swart.

WTF! I have a sunroof?......Goes to show how often I use it, rather do without. Curious how much poundage I would save. I know the pana is 100+ lbs.

Thanks for all the comps guy i really appreciate it

as for the sunroof / pano roof in South africa its an optional extra for the E55 only the E63 came with a stock pano roof.

the Brabus sticker will come off i promise.

i was thinking of blacking out the badges as well??

once again thanks for all the comps

I would love to have the SR delete. Stiffer body, less weight, and less maintenance cost in the long run.

I regret when i got my car with Pano........ not only weight 80Lbs + also when they start to make squizy noise it will be very annoying. And if its break, it cost few grand to fix.....
