Thats not quite correct ( sorry to be pedantic ) Option 471 was always an option apart from on the performance pack cars which stopped in 2010. The performance pack cars had the diff as standard as part of that package. Its sometimes called the P30 package. In '10 Mercedes launched a...

I am trying to build a relationship with a business really as I tend to buy a lot of parts for some unique cars :)

Hi, I am after some quite specific parts for a car, my usual MB contact has left the business and I wish to establish a new relationship. Can you recommend anyone, or do you work for MB Parts? Thanks! Andy

Sold. Gone but not forgotten.

Welcome to the house of fun. I note you have purchased the fastest model year car, but sadly not in the fastest colour. Either way, I think you will enjoy your car

You might be suprised how much the PP and PPP discs have come down from MB. As I understand it MB + Brembo had an exclusivity deal and kept the price artificially high. Mine were something like £840 inc pads from MB direct!

Check my thread out for what I did with a deflector

anything upto around 520bhp from circa 481 from factory ( depending on dyno ) isnt to be sniffed at. Its also not just about the power, its the way it releases the power.

You have to be so careful doing this HMRC are starting to look into disproportionate basic + dividends

No problems asking questions. There is no law saying I cannot change between OEM and non OEM exhausts.

I have long tube manifolds and no restrictions. It sounds like a AMG , but a NASCAR version. Its as subtle when pootling around but sounds like nothing else when giving it death

Front discs and pads on a PPP can now be had for £800. Rears just shy of £600.

I would beg to differ on that. Carbon is a bit of a pig to cut as the fibres are quite spikey and the dust is bad for health. The bracket is a genuine MB item that has been adapted. You are not paying for someone to knock up a one off in a back garden. Its had R&D time Its had someone...

How do they map it then if not dyno? Just a simple flash?
