Well it didnt start life well with that interior! it was destined to be chavved up! Ive more chance of getting my fat ar5e into the olympics than he has of getting 8 bags for that!

lol

the ice isnt that hideous, the only thing you can see are the two subwoofers all the amps and wiring are hidden.

The wheels, grille and spoiler i agree with you, they are a bit off putting.

I like the interior ... its a designo interior.

I agree , grille is miserable , but easily changed . Wheels aren't that bad , and at least are a staggered set .

ICE is a bit OTT , but the boot install looks neatly done.

Whether it's worth eight grand , i don't know , but i could live with it . Swap the grille and its a nice car.

It does give off the impression of being rinsed everywhere though .

The panel gap between the wing/bonnet looks miles out?

Bonnet looks like it's closed on the other pics, and the wing is a different colour on the photo above.

Anyway - I'd have thought that the seller would be much better ripping the ICE out, sourcing a replacement grill and putting the standard wheels back on - that way he'd still have a '51 plate E55 for sale + he can sell the other bits seperately to recoup some cash?

Agreed!

agree with Will on this one, I dont think the ICE is that bad, just needs a cover for the subs and it would be a nice stealth install.

the thing is 2nd hand ICE isnt worth tht much, and orignal wheels (clean set) for an E55 cost £600-£1000! so i can see why he left it as is

I'm almost ashamed to admit that car's in my local city!
I haven't seen it in the flesh yet, though - probably a good thing

I think he just hasn't closed the bonnet properly after the photo of the engine. Full memory seats as well.

I think that people that splash out ridiculous amounts of cash on a car then land back on planet earth usually panic-sell the entire thing in a desperate attempt to make some of their assests more liquid...

Its a shame, i'm sure in standard form it would look really nice, that interior is lovely too.

Is the roof of the car black or is it just me?

does look black dont it.

 

[Adam230K]

panaramic roof?

panaramic roof?

Of the stick on variety.

Other than the boot spolier I quite like it.

Does that make me a feckless chav?

panaramic roof?

Panoramic roof wasn`t an option for w210,only w211 and after.

 

[renault12ts]

Just sprayed black. You can see the headlining in the car. Nice effect??

Nice to see he has made one good friend on his feedback LOL.

You need to ask????

 

[andy_k]

apart from the pink interior and the tints it's not that bad.

I quite like the wheels, they suit the car and look different.

We've seen worse spoilers fitted to member's cars and everyone has said how great they look and what a wonderful mod it was

We've even seen members discuss painting their roofs black (wasn't it on a E500?)

The ICE install looks tidy and would cover up nicely

It's a decent enough car which the guy has obviously spent a fair bit of time and cash on.

Is it worth £8k? Nah I doubt it but from what I can se it doesn't deserve the hatchet job it's getting here
I'll go and sit in chav's corner with Nick
