the install is very hard to acomplish without having a complete nose cut. the elecetrics are very tricky too. i have a professional garage that does this work. its not for the faint hearted. labor costs is in the $1700 and parts in the $3000-$5000 range.

here in lebanon we may not have all the mods and accesories as people in the states have, but we have cheap and really talended labour and the occasional chop shop

**c280nz** · 10-23-2005, 01:04 PM

My cars never finished, its always a working progress. Next I plan to upgrade my S/C pulley with the Brabus K3 kit. Full Brabus interior, new wheels, and hopefully I can get my hands on a Brabus kit front and rear. I am also going to redo my system again and if I get some more $$$, maybe a custom widebody?

Thats all I can think of right now, Im always changing this or that. I'll probably roll around like this for a little bit longer and change it up again sooner or later. I get bored and tired of mods very quickly and always like a new look.

I know I should have just bought a C43 to start with and do all this stuff, but I bought this car as my beater and now im in too deep.

StarShield is a company in Irwindale that custom did my front end of the car with the clear plastic 3M film.

**GPReyes** · 10-24-2005, 05:58 AM

great abu,

can't wait to see your car "modified"

mikeL...

just wondering what made you move down to 18's from 19's then back again ...and now dubs...rubbing probs? performance?

I have 18's on and sometimes as I'm walking to my car from afar I can't help but think they're too small =)

we're never satisfied are we =)

No particualr reason. I put those 19" AMGs on our CLK55. I just got bored of the look and wanted new wheels. 20" fit, but offset and tire size either makes it or breaks it. I also rolled, cut, dremeled, and flared out the fenders as much as I could without having to repaint the panels. My car is SLAMMMED and I only get rubbing when I have 2 passengers in the car. And when it does rub, its rubbing on plastic, nothing serious, just a little annoying to hear. When I am by myself or with only 1 person, its fine.

I got hooked up. When I ordered my kit, we did like a GB and ordered a 5 kits from WALD. Not all W202, it was a mix and match of different models so we all could get better pricing. A while back, I posted all this stuff on here, some people were interested but never threw up the $$$ for it. So, I went on and found other people and got it going. My friend owns a bodyshop, so for paint and body work he gives me good prices. I also got a partial sponsorship from Starshield. That is around what I paid, but I know some peeps.

Do these HID just replace your current harness? And how do you know which to get?

And sorry to ask... but whats Bi-Xenon? is it like a halogen and HID or something..

**Abuimad** · 10-24-2005, 11:09 PM
