Sunny,

Everything except the metalwork (polishing & welding) and the paintwork. I have some good friends who've helped me out quite a bit as well. It's been a 3 year work in progress with no sign of completion in sight :-\. I may be parting with it soon as I feel I need a "break" from the whole modification scene. Who knows.

The turbo I have is a relatively good compromise turbo. It's very cutting edge, coming from Garrett's new GT line, and makes very good hp at high boost with race gas, but still has a tolerable spool. I built the car mostly for highway jaunts and the street in general, so it fills my needs very well

Regards,

Marcus

No vids because it wouldn't even be a contest. As in he would smoke me. All I will say is that after the "reconstruction" I won't be any closer to him even in the 3 digit speeds...

Benzo, can u post a pic of the back of your E55? I noticed that your lower bumper has some sort of aero groves in it which look awesome. Im looking for a rear window spoiler and a trunk spoiler like yours. Does WALD have a homepage that I can check out with pics of thier kits?

WALD does have a website. go to www.waldusa.com. Then go to mercedes and look at the model you want. If you are lookin into a roof spoiler you might want to look into Lorinser or someone else because WALD does not carry a roof spoiler. As for the rear lip, WALD has one, Renntech has one and I forgot but some other people carry it as well. I will try to go look for some pics for you once I get to my computer. I am on my brother's for the time being.
