  • Lucky's build - MB 500SE AMG

    Hey, my name is Lucky, this is Rosalie my 1982 Euro greymarket 500SE AMG. 126k orig miles, one previous owner, maintenance records, and it was turn-key

    The day I picked her up.





    First thing I did was tune up, fresh plugs and wires, oil change and air filter, and upgraded to a 560 dual snorkel air cleaner...after I polished it of course.



    Compare to old cleaner



    Next was headlights and corners. Got some DEPO euro lamps with bi-xenon bulbs, city lights replaced US style parking lights. Took me a bit to figure out how to re-wire back to euro lamps from the US headlamp re-wire job, but I got it.



    Added a euro plate, and removed the front air-dam for fix and repaint.




    Picked up some refinished wheels. 17x8.5 with Falken 215/40 and 17x10 with 235/40 AMG by O.Z. to replace the badly painted and curbed up BBS Mahle basket weaves. I will re-finish the BBS in my spare time and add them to my ever growing wheel collection.

    Test fit.







    Wheels are off the car and as soon as I have a chance, they will be taken apart and the centers will be painted. Have spacers and smaller spring pads to install as well.

    Rollin on Brabus 3-piece 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 until then.





    Thanks for looking, plenty more to come. C&C always welcome. And I am always willing to listen to creative ideas.

                  I cant compete with Andre, he is the "Euro master", but has definatly been an inspiration with his 540i, S4, and 500E.

                  Thanks mang, the euro DEPO's and HID's make a huge difference compared to the bullshit US headlamps they put on it at customs.

                        This is true, lip is ready for final sand down and then paint, will have pics by this weekend. Wheels are now a different color too

                            As promised, lip is done. Pretty close match to the old paint too.







                            and wheels are painted, just waiting on the new bolts now.
