Hi all
been an interested reader here for a while without contributing so far....
I bought a 61 plate black E350 (W212 265) just over two years ago and I have to say it's been great. First merc I've owned and I don't think I'd want anything else now.
Plans for a newer MB have been replaced by the arrival of my first little lad about 6 weeks ago so I decided I would mod my car a little bit to try and freshen it up and minimise the cravings for something new. Few things I've been considering but would welcome other peoples opinion on what might be nice to do?
New Grille - Painted black with embedded official chrome MB logo (got this and fitted it at the weekend and it's really good - looks much sportier than the standard chrome one)
ECU and gearbox re-map - seen all the chat about GAD tuning and spoke to them too. would be about £470 if I recall correctly. Anyone had this done and do I need to check where my car is serviced about this?
Boot lip spoiler - ordered a painted ABS one online. yet to see what the quality is like but can post once it arrives.
Front splitter and rear diffuser - seen some I like however costs seem to differ vastly. anyone got experience with these?
20" wheels - would love some really however cost will probably prohibit this with nappies and milk on the agenda. seen the link to all the wheels that will fit, but would I need to consider lowering it too?
Any suggestions, opinions would be most welcome
Cheers
Kris
