Hello!
My name is David 23 years old from Sweden so my English is not the best. ive spent more time than i think is healty on Stanceworks looking at your guys builds and cars.
Always been in to low cars and have lowered every car i have ever owned, but this is my first real stance build =)
I thought long and hard if i wanted to go static or air on the merc, But i just think static is so much more hardcore so i dident want to be a chicken and install air. ( no offence to you guys with air suspension )
I started working on my w211 E-Class in december so ive spent some hours in the garage since then and i will try to show you guys what i have done since then.
The goal with the car is to get it looking classy and clean and ofcourse with a good fitment =)
i drove last summer on loweringsprings and bbs lm 19" replicas and the car looked like this:
Then i november i put the car in the garage and started to order some parts:
amg lip, amg floor mats and smoke brakelight:
Then i ordered an e63 front with grill and everything, at this time i started to rip off all the paint in the wheelhouse ( not shure if that is the correct word ) and rolled and pulled my fenders, if any of you was woundering i dont want the rest of the e63 kit, i think the original bumper in the back looks much more clean witout any exhaust showing etc, and i am building this car exactly the way i want it to look =) :
My front headlights were a bit worn so i sanded them down and polished them.
The paint on the car was in god shape but not perfect so i drove the car to our local paintshop and they resparyed the whole car and spent about 3 weeks on it =) Before that i had ripped of all the paint in the wheelhoses and painted them upp with rustprotection and "bodyspray" for protection so everything is as fresh underneth as the car itself =)
This picture is when i drove it off for paint =)
when the car was at the paintshop i started to freshen up my plastic "innerfenders"
then i got the car back from paint and started to mount everything again =)
I ordered K-Sport coilovers and i am still waiting on them, and i changed all the sleves etc in the front and the back and sandblasted and painted all the links(?) etc... this took much of my time and money, but like i said before i wanted the car to be fresh everywhere
did som testing with my old rims so i would know what size and ET i needed for my new rims.
some of the old parts that come of the car.
some random pictures:
Then i ordered new rims: Rotiform SNA 19X10 ET 25
i **** when cars have diffrent widht on the rims in the front and back =)
i also ordered new brakes all around. discs, e-brake, pads etc
then i finaly got my rims!!
then i got my new brakes mounted:
i also ordered and mounted carbon pillars:
picture to compare black and carbon:
then i testfitted the wheels, this is with no spacers, so i am verry pleased that they fitted this well =)
FRONT:
BACK:
Then i mounted one of my new tires: 235-35-19 on my 19x10" rim.
FRONT:
BACK:
they did not turn out the way i wanted so i ordered new tires, 225-35-19 =)
Then i got ahold of an original steelplate to mount under the engine insted of the plastic one:
My old rearlights did not match with the new brakelight so i ordered new rearlamps that turned out verry well =)
one of the pictures is to compare old vs new =)
and finaly some pictures of the wheels with the right tires =)
so. that is where we are today with the car =)
i am still waiting on my coilovers that will arrive in about 2 weeks so i can finish the car =)
i am sure i have forgot allot of things now but you get an idea of what i have done with the car =)
please be kind with the comments becouse i have given all ive got on this car, at one point i started to eat one meal less a day so i wolud have more money for carparts :-p haha!
i will uppdate as soon as i get more parts and can do more with the car =)
PS! The front side windows are now tinted!
