I sell the E500 as "our" car I may be able to swing an early new car for myself. ;-)

Why not keep the 760 ?

Why not keep the 760 ?

Got the warranty renewal at a touch over £1k (bargain) - I've turned down £11,750, WBAC is at £11,400 so I'm in no hurry to sell it.

I'm looking for 2 Merc baby seats the bigger one they do, once they are permanently in the E500 Anna can use it whenever she wants instead of her van.

If you cannot buy better for this money then you should keep the 760.

Well a week in, it's now my only car - every Thursday I fill up, still got half a tank ??? Getting 22 mpg on my short commute, incredible. Quick check its not a 2.0 ! Nope big V8 present and correct, rough saving on juice £150 a month £1800 a year Christ, that's a caravan holiday in Rhyl!

Car is growing on me from the inside, drives well, comfy - it'll do .......

But, the size surprised me too - my issue was the A pillar hitting me in the head! Oddly, not a problem I suffer in the technically smaller SLK...

I'm guessing that this is down to the fact that the E-class has rear seats, so the windscreen has to reach back further to meet the hood.

Wow Nab! That's a stealthy looking E cab! Love it!

Stealthy? It couldn't get much more shouty.

DS what's it like getting the kids in and out?

I had a 330 BM vert and that lasted all of about a week once we had our first.

I agree it needs big wheels, but its the arch that seems to make the wheels look tiny? As the Doc has done lower and spacers with maybe 19" AMG copies?

sounds like its growing on you though. So that's good

Roof off, simples. Roof on fiddle but it will be a couple of times a week max, trip to nursery giving mum a lie in and dance class on Saturday so not too much.

What are you learning?

What are you learning?

They are learning whatever 3 year olds learn at £5 for 40 mins, looks like walking in a circle and shaking their bums. I'm learning that in public you have to give in a bit as the little buggers know they have the upper hand.

Hi guys new on here, wanted to get a few things done on my E coupe. Firstly the tint

I just bought some H&R springs to lower it, look my indy a couple of hours to fit and had the alignment sorted. H&R springs are slightly lower than say Eibachs so I guess that is down to preference. Total cost for that including fitting and alignment £300.

Offsets, now the standard wheels are high - for what reason I'm not sure but ET35 front and rear will work on standard ride height as many people have done that. Lowered though you may not get the best arch clearance if you're driving with two in the back there will be a little rubbing on the tyre.

I'm running ET43 up front and ET38 at the back, though I was going to put a 5-10mm spacer on the front but held off. Also the 19s are 0.5" wider on both the front and rear but sit nicely flush to the arch on the rear, not so much on the front but I'll rectify that with the new wheels.

There are plenty of options for wheels for that sort of money at 19" though some will instantly flame saying ebay "replica" wheels as hopeless and dangerous but I know people who have bought and run them with no issues at all for a couple of years, have considered getting a set as my diamond cut lips have given in and started rotting badly hence new wheels for me as I fancy a change rather than a refurb.

I like these at the minute, SLS 7 spoke style AMGs

19" GM MULTI ALLOY ALLOY WHEELS MERCEDES E CLASS KLASS W207 CONVERTIBLE | eBay

Obviously these are without tyres but a set of 2x 235/35 and 2x 275/30 Falken FK453s from camskill are somewhere under £600 plus allowing £15 per corner for fitting and balancing from a tyre fitter you'll be well within your budgeted amount.

There are many different options around though depending on what styles of wheels you like, I'll be going for something drastically different all being well and will post pictures as and when I get the new wheels sorted.

Obviously you can reverse those mods the end of your 2 year agreement

Standard with wheels lost inside the arches

Before lowering on 19s 235/35 & 265/30, little better not right though

Lowered - much better

Lowered & spaced rear, perfect (to me)

Front lip

Hi guys new on here, wanted to get a few things done on my E coupe. Firstly the tint on the rear lights just for the reverse section.... Any ideas how this is done? Vinyl??

Also wanted to lower my car, currently on 19s, was thinking of the eibach springs. Any one know what the ride is like once these are put in?

 

[After Shock]

Amazing what a difference a change in wheels make. Lowering gives it such a different look too!

Think the cabriolet looks great, I have the Coupe and have never thought of the rear quarter as looking odd , Test drove the C Coupe before the E Coupe , preferred the E so bought it

 

[IforG]

As a new member on this forum I will try and be polite - BUT how any of you can see the E Class cabriolet as even remotely as stylish as my "old" CLK . . . . .

 

[E55BOF]

It's all a matter of taste - or the lack of it; it all depends on your viewpoint. Understated is "out", shouty knobby bling is "in"; it's what the world market wants these days, and Mercedes want to continue to sell cars...

IMHO I find the E Class Cabriolet a far better looker , but must say your "old" CLK does indeed look very nice

 

[MancMike]

But that's the point. It's yours, so you're going to love it. Personally, I think the headlights look particularly dated now, and I think the front grille looks low rent.

Eibach on my w207 coupe or H&R????

Really dont want my car touching on anything. Been quoted £525 for H&R springs
