BUT to allow myself a little hobby im going to be looking at a pre-face lift elite at weekend in the view to Put a V8 of some sort in it!!!!!!!!!

Very nice!!! Love the irmscher grille  

i wonder what the 0-60 is on it!

what have you done with the original AMG wheels??

[Dazzler]

Nice......you sure know how to spend money on a car LOL

[palmer3914]

cheers, AMG WHEELS are safely tucked away at home for when i sell it.... 0-60 is 5.4 book... i have done a 5.5 in it before the chip...... so im sre prob 5-5.4 is possible.... its done the standing quarter (i know i couldn't resist) in 13.320 seconds at he pod.. 1st run - only run before RE-MAP

[tunnie]

looks good, although personally i prefer the look of the orginal AMG alloys!

[palmer3914]

OH I TOTALLY AGREE......... but everyones e class  :ywho wants AMG's have these..... so i wanted it to be MY car not "another e class" so went for 2nd best choice in my mind... i could of sourced some 19" AMG's from USA but once again car wouldn't of looked different to warrent to extra money spent.......

I like the wheels as they are FACE LIFT E55 wheels Genuine mercedes i might add!!!!!!!!!  

thanks for comments anyway

Lookin' good I prefer the wheels you have put on, not as "slabby" as the originals.

you should check out the brabus brochures if your car fetish doesn't cool off!

[palmer3914]

belive me i been through the whole lot, brabus, carlson, lorinser, RH, but they all either way too flashy or to over done by the replica market...........

[palmer3914]

its been a while... and being as i put these up once i 1st got the car.. here is her now.... not an omega but im sure you remembered my track car........
