Hey guys/gals:
I've been lurking here on this forum for a while. I wanted a R350 to replace my previous car because of my growing family. I finally found and purchased a 2008 White semi loaded R350 a month ago and I love it so far... has every option minus the entertainment system.
I've always been into cars and had a daily driven show car for a while... I decided to give it up and sold it and purchased this R350 to replace it. But true to my roots and car hobbie I didn't waste time in personalizing this one a little...
Day Purchased:
Got a few parts a week later... Wood Steering wheel, Lowering Rear Links, H&R Springs, 2011 Style mirrors, 3 sets of HIDs (5,000K Color temp)+ decoders, LED lights complete interior, license plate lights & driving lights and AMG pedals... To give it a little 2011 refresh...
Installed HIDS:
Lowering it at a shop a friend work at:
After the install... I felt it wasn't low enough so I modified the front springs to get me a little lower plus I maxed out the lowering links in the rear...
Best picture that shows the drop and fender gap...
Since i purchased this R350 used... the previous owner had some minor scratches on the bumper and I needed to paint the mirrors so I decided to take it to a body shop where I... Painted the front bumper, the mirrors, rest of panoramic roof Black and Custom installed 2011 Quad Fogs from a 2011 E-Class...
Came out looking subtle and like OEM... I love the look...
I was trying to locate 2011 R350 LED Rear Lights to Retrofit into my R350 but could not find a pair at a reasonable good price in time... But as soon as I get them... I will install to give the rear a nice fresh look. :thumbsup:
I'll like to Thank everyone here on this forum for the information that they've posted which have helped me get the information I was looking for at the time... I will be posting here from time to time and trying to give back to this community...
Here is my previous car... So you can get a sense of how extreme I can get when it comes to personalizing a vehicle (It was modified in the Japanese VIP Styling)... But I will not be getting that extreme with my new family hauler :surrender:
Thanks for having me People...
