OK in the past two months i finished the mods i've set out to do. Here is my very modest list of mods.

1. Fender Flares (factory version for 2002+ ML's)
2. Bi-Xenon Lights
3. Grill update
4. VES
5. ML55 Wheels and Toyo Proxes ST tires

I thought i'd post some pics.

Cheers,
Boris

Nice photos and the ML55 rims definitely gives the mascular look. Oh.. and the TOYOs rock! I slapped in a brand new set of these few days ago and got to test it. I went down to San Simeon/Cambria california just a couple days ago coming from the bay area and took highway 1 pacific south all the way down and these tires were awesome on tight curves and absorbs bump very well. I also got to test it in downpour rain, i'm impressed!! []

Nice pics. ML55 rims are always my dream ones to put on my ML320. So where did you get these rims from? And did you DIY all these mods?

 

[borist]

i got the wheels from Potomac.

yes all the mods were DYI - i did have the help of a good friend who has a ML as well (he goes by mbsickness on the board).

in addition to all the mods listed i added the trip computer as well.

All in all everything was very straight forward except for the VES. That took about 11 hours to put in. But hey, it was theraputic!

Cheers,
Boris

Hey Boris,

How much did your fender flares cost, did they come pre-painted?
