Hi, I don't usually post much on this site but I see there are a lot of fellow-minded people who like to "have a go" at making their Mercedes a bit different from the rest. I thought I would document as much as possible the process of transplanting an AMG 55 engine into my 2000 R129 SL280 V6...

I bought my E320 CDI a couple of months ago and the previous owner had fitted an HID kit to the dip headlights. The light of them is excellent:D Unfortunately I think this plonker has either fitted the wrong option lights for my car or hasn't wired them up correctly:fail The dip lights...

So spent an hour taking to standard intake out and installing the SL55 bigger intake to my '32! Couple of bits were a struggle but it's in there pretty solid so overall nice lil upgrade! Only problem is I can't drive at the moment due to a foot opp!!

Well I have started to convert my sprinter van, had a body kit fitted , re sprayed with a pearlescent blue lacquer and have had some 22" wolfrace renaissance alloys drilled out and milled to fit although they do stick out from the body slightly I have no complaints The inside has had a partial...

new forum member so please go easy!! Any of our resident experts successfully completed a C63 headlight conversion from pre-facelift to the newer style any pointers of people to talk to would be appreciated (the guys at MSL / PCS / Rebellion maybe???) cheers T

Hi all, thought I'd improve my c180's poor headlights with 5k hid upgrade. On all the other cars I've done this to, I have had no issues, but the merc is causing me headaches!! I bought a canbus kit that has worked well on other vehicles, but not this time so also purchased a decoder/error fix...

I've threatened to do the conversion on my previous C43's but neither of them were in the cracking condition this one is in, so I'm going to seriously look into doing it with this one. The obvious option is to buy a rusty W210 E55 and plunder it for parts. Or, correct me if I'm wrong, I'll...

Son of a very good friend dropped dead from massive heart attack last Thursday (only 44!! Life can be so cruel), not a religious family but Steve was a massive West Ham supporter - so I was asked to find "Bubbles" to be played at his funeral in 10 days time. I've found and downloaded it in MP3...

This is my second request for any info on replacing the front side lights on my C320 CDI Sport W204. I have not had a single response on my earlier request so I am assuming it is not a mod being carried out by others. So if nobody can help with this maybe you can help with letting me know if...

I have a nice Multivalve W124 which I want to turn into a 7 seater - I have the donor car too, which is a factory 7 seater - how complex is this job and has anyone else attempted it ?

Hi I have just bought a 2007 C320 CDI and would like to convert the side lights in the headlamps to LED. I would appreciate any advice and tips to achieve this, thanks

Hi This is my first post, although I have been finding the site very helpful. I have a 2003 SL500, which has been suffering a number of the common issues. All of which have been pretty easily managed, so far. My concern now is with the ABC Air Suspension, which I think is about to give...

Hi guys I have a 320 CE coupe and I want it more AMG what's the best engine for the convension I have been told c36 AMG engine or is there anyway I could tune my existing engine?

From Autotrader A bit tatty but for £5k :cool:

I have the opportunity of a W209 CLK 55 with the engine knackered and was giving thought to how much work would be involved in fitting a '55 Kompressor instead of putting another N/A in. The research I have done seems to show more of '55 N/A being fitted with a Kleeman supercharger, but I...
