S211 E55K AMG Light Refreshments

[Deleted member 37751]

I thought it would be good to keep the mods and light refreshments I'm doing to my seven seat S211 E55K AMG to a nice clean thread...

Mods carried out by previous owner: Kleeman headers, genuine Brabus brake set-up and primary cats removed.

This is how it looked when I bought it:



First jobs done: full engine service using all genuine OEM Mercedes parts, change gearbox and diff oil, brand new Mercedes OEM battery.

Second job was to find a set of 19" AMG IV split rims, which I did courtesy of the forum:



Next was to fit some proper rubber; Continental Sport Contact 2's:





Then get them on, not much spare room between the inside and the Brabus calliper:



Next was locking nuts and centre caps, again genuine OEM Mercedes parts:





Still to come: Carbon fibre engine cover, a little bit more exhaust work and a few bits and bobs of general wear and tear items. I'm two minds whether to start upping the power, these brakes are so unreal that it's seem a bit of a waste not to get into the 600's!

I'm giving it a good clean etc tomorrow so I'll post up more photos soon.

There's a dyno day at MSL coming up soon - if you don't make this one, for the learning, sharing, mod planning and all round good fun, I'm gonna send the ladyboys up with a tub of warm E45 and a clutch of butt plugs...

Where you find those set of wheels, I have been looking for a set for ages...Mind you i am not looking to spend £1500 Mercedes want for these.

 

[c_200k]

That's about the going rate

If Merc are selling you them at 1500 full set I'd jump at it.

If Mercedes are only asking £1500 for a set then I'd bite their hand off.

I know, I just found them by the roadside dumped so I thought I might as well stick them on.

I'm not particularly sure why but the part that seems strangest in that sentence is "warm".

Given what's ahead, be thankful you won't have to suffer a cold start!

The car looks awesome, Lee.

That's my caring side, as we're friends .

VD Boy would get ice cold...

 

[ringway]

Super, Lee!

Don't sell this one, hang on to it. You'll miss it (and I bet the 7 seats) if you let it go.

Thanks for help in setting my expectations straight.. Car does look spot on Lee, much better than it did on Brabus.
