Remapped, Slammed, Tinted, ICEd and Blinged - Stage 1 Mods

[Scorcher]

After a lot of hard work by Andy Ice Cold, here is the first stage of my E55 modding....

Tints
AMG Boot Lip Spoiler
AMG Mats
AMG Illuminated Sills
Renntech Electronic Lowering Module
6" Rear Headrest Screens
DVD Changer
Hardwired Pogo Alert

...looking meaner, and that lowering module is excellent - slammed down like this for normal posing and driving, and a press of the Airmatic button and I can still get up the drive at home

Genuine AMG boot lip spoiler - you'd think it would be a straight fit yes? Oh no - I fitted it with the supplied tape, and it peeled off at either end. So Andy refitted it with new tape - same problem, so the spoiler must have been slightly warped - so last resort, that nasty black windscreen adhesive - works a treat.

Couple of 6" Veba LCD screens, with a DVD changer in the boot - showing one of my favourite DVDs - Maisy's ABC There is insufficient space on the rear of the E Klasse headrest for a decent size screen, so we opted for a pair of nice clean leather clad pods to house these ones - thankfully my eldest daughter can't turn them off as there are no visible buttons

It's also had a remap whilst in Andy's care, courtesy of Lee at CarEvolution.co.uk, so an extra 25 HP, removed 155 limiter and a much more sprightly beast - we learned that Sprint Booster + remap = undriveable, so SB was whipped off again

The hardwired Pogo is certainly a necessity now

Thanks also to Dan (Chaos) @ Maybank for getting the grille sprayed Obsidian Black - 9 coats!, and for sorting the tyres.

UnfortunatelyMr Clever Clogs (me) managed to order the wrong size for the 19" AMG Style IVs, so they'll be part of Stage 2 - along with resonator delete pipe and a smattering of other goodies

[stats007]

Not to my taste but it looks like you're having fun!

Looks very nice!!

That must be one hell of a ride!

Look forward to seeing the next stage.

 

[gurpz]

Nice car mate, look forward to seeing future mods.

 

[ManJ]

Well done, nice car, ENJOY!

Looks good mate. I'd be tempted to put on the 19" AMG 2pc wheels, the 18s look a bit small with that drop.

I've already got them, but bought the wrong size tyres

A lot of hard work, impressive - the grille is not to my taste, but wow, what a car

 

[mercboiuk]

Very Very nice!

Renntech supply to the UK! Do they have an agent over here then? Or did you just order directly from them?

Thats a very tasty car indeed! I'm normally not a fan of blacked grills, but I actually quite like it on yours

Nope - got it from eBay.com

Way to go Dan ...............

Not surprised you took the Sprintbooster out. I tried your gas pedal on Sat and thought ..... my god, that was EXPONENTIAL!

That remap must have done something to the way the throttle butterfly react to the pedal.

PS: I heard about the tyres, I was going to order you an ML55 badge from Greenoaks Reading

Look's great, well done

If i was doing it myself i might have forgotten about lowering it but thats just a personal thing.

Very nice indeed.

Damn you!!!.............you bet me to it. I was also thinking about a black E55 in the near future and doing the exact mods that you are doing. I like the black grill as well and I was going to put on thw 19inch 2 piece rims on also!

Hello

While not to my tastes its a lovely car, polish the exhaust tips though

19" wheels when you have them should look much better the drop on that setting makes the 18's look a bit weedy.

19s are on the way - and you are right about the tips
