2012 Mercedes W212 build thread

[cressidodd]

Well!

Rumor has it he is still waiting for the weekend. This was one my favourite builds from my highschool years of browsing the forums.

Still alive? Would love to see where this went

Was finally able to spec out custom springs for the rear of my KW coilovers to get this puppy down lower! Ordered them and came in 2 days later

Will have installed this weekend and report back monday!

Looks great. What engine is it? Does it come with drilled discs at front?

Its the 350 model so its equipped with the 3.5 liter V6.

It has drilled front rotors as it has the sports package.

thanks! will be running 19x19 et15 F and 19x11 et 20 R on mine. but im bagging it and i dont want the tucked look. i more the poke guy

With the more aggressive poke, moreso static setups you'll need to carefully choose the correct tire brand. I went through 3 sets of tires before I came up with the one that worked right for my fitment. Federal 595 EVO, Nitto Invo and finally Nitto NT555's are on the car now.

nice one
awesome wheelchoise.

Thats dope but i want to see some lip to qp fitment and some black bison.

I've decided to forego the Wald parts and keep the body OEM+. I've added a custom shaped trunk spoiler, carbon rear diffusser and front lip spoiler all courtesy of RevoZport.

I'll have a full shoot up as soon as everythings dialed in.

Thanks for the kind words!

You're welcome. Yeah I'm more a poke guy also.

Front= 20x10 mid 20's ET

Rear= 20x12 mid 40's ET

Not much room in relation to where the hub and fenders are on these cars.

The car is nice looking, but for some reason the wheels seem really big. Maybe it's the height of the car

That's cuz they're 20's brah

I can respect where this is going, but I would have gone with something lighter, like others have said, but that's your choice to do what you want to. What's the news on those bumpers??

[scweet14]

dude this thing will be lookin more than beautiful in no time!
sub'd!

[LaneRaymond]

I fully expect this thread to be full of gorgeous awesomeness in the future.

[FluidMotorUnion]

Oh, this is getting good.

We shall sit and wait patiently. Because that's what this board is good at -- being nice, and being patient.

[Avant_GardeA4]

They look good, but you should have gone with the F140 with a step lip instead.

Once I get bored of these I'll end up with a step lip set on this car.

[Avant_GardeA4]

Thanks for the kind words fellas!

Will have final pics of this up when I add the last few pieces of the puzzle.
