Hey Mattman, your car is beautiful, I hope I can make my '90 560 SEL look (and run) as well as yours someday. Your country though, is even more beautiful; stunning scenery in your photos. It reminded me very much of the Monterey Peninsula near my home in California.

I like your car how it is. I dont think you should paint it. A member here put an SEC bumper with fog lights on his SEL. You should do that. I think it looks really nice, once the springs settle in you wont have much wheel gap. Looks awesome

hmmm, I was going to remove the chrome strips from the vertical edges of the doors and monotone it. I think the colour would really suit the monotone look. Does anyone here know photoshop well enough to do a quick colour job for me?
Matt.

removing the chrome strips would definitely be an improvement; make it look less like a "gangtank"

I like the chrome impact strips. Its more like american car material though, but its still looks good. www.benzsport.com has a forum just for photoshoping, just post it there.

That rules, I think I am going to go with the monotone look and ditch those chrome door edge strips. I picked up a one touch window kit from www.bergwerks.com. I also got my springs, headlight upgrade kit, and my firstgear start kit which should be here in a couple of days, from them.
Matt.

Looking good Matt. The spring kit really gives an agressive look to the 560.

Has anyone on the board installed a 1st gear start kit? It appears to be a very cheap and worthwhile upgrade.
How difficult was it, what were the results, and is there any reason not to install it (engine wear and tear, etc....)? Thanks.
