FRESH PAINT: E63 Front End Transformation!
Vložit
- čas přidán 28. 08. 2024
- In this video I repair the battle scared front bumper on the 2010 E63. Fresh paint on the grille and bumper have really changed the face of this car!
Next up, engine work and mods!
Front end on the pre-facelift W212 is so good looking. Aggressive yet elegant. I know most people prefer the facelift W212 front end, but I think the pre-facelift is far superior and unique.
Actually I like both, I like the facelift in the sedan, but pre in the coupe, coupe pre facelift is sexy.
You're videos are informative & interesting. You have good taste in cars & you're detail work is second to none. To the avg person that Mercedes looks like 60k$ worth of luxury- performance.
Appreciate the kind words!
Just a tip!!!! Add a plexiglass pcs in between the sensor and grill to protect it from stoneshots. Its exspensive to replace if you get that on it.
My guy needs a paint booth for Christmas
I would fab up some sort of cover for the distronic radar unit. Those are prone to damage and one rock will make it inoperative. Should be easy to do. Looks nice.
Yeah i'm thinking of adding a black piece of ABS plastic back there
OEM perfect! You R a true car wizard
Big Fan! Wish I had your Tech skills. I have 2009 S550 and I keep well maintained through mechanic work. I have spent thousands of dollars on maintenance. Parts really not bad it’s the labor. I actually just did the same to my bumper got repainted due to years of rock chips. Total cost me 900 dollars for paint and labor. Smh
Hey man great job on fixing up the lights and the bumper. I would highly recommend doing PPF on the head lights including the drls as they will go back to that hazy old look again.
Absolute killer job, as usual 🤜🏻🤛🏻 front end looks menacing af 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Looking good, front windshield tinted
Looks like your over in Dover/Portsmouth area by the looks of signs to the Piscataqua River Bridge to Maine. Great looking e63!
Beautiful car Chris ! Really enjoying your channel !!
The distronic grill gave the car so much class, hope he returns in the upcoming videos
Brilliant job Chris 👌I preferred the chrome grill, I think it contrasts it especially with those awesome rims, but that's just my personal taste. Still it looks fantastic 😍
Great Job!!! I would recommend ceramic coating your headlights after sanding them.
From California look at your video all the time. Good job keep them coming.
Let’s go dude, love the work you put into these cars
Alright you made it onto my explore page, lets see what it’s about
Chris, you don’t have to answer this, but what do you do for a living, is it in the automotive field? Doesn’t seem like there’s much you won’t/can’t do?
Many have asked. I don’t think he will answer this question anytime soon unfortunately lol
He sells drugs!! Like many of us!
@@trentdawg2832 yep lol legally though lol
@@trentdawg2832 Hahahaha
Hes a pharmacist! But also a mechanical engineer in the Airforce.
i loooooove this car ❤
Very nice work my friend!
that cover is to protect the distronic plus from rocks chips . is an expensive fix if a rock cracks it . I kept mines on. I have friends who damage theirs by switching the grill out.
Wow, the paint looks great! Would you consider making a video about your paint setup and what you use?
When I did my chrome delete I had the chrome grill painted and I wish I didn’t because the rock chips will show the chrome under at some point sooner then later. I’m buying a blacked out grill now for it.
Sounds like it wasn't prepped correctly
so excited for mods
Masterfully done!! Car looks beautiful!!
GREAT JOB CHRIS !! JESSE VIA LAS VEGAS
Awesome, Totally Awesome, in my Jeff Spicoli voice.
Have you ever considered using PPF on bumpers or front cap of your cars?
Looks sick... Great job paining it
This is my dream car! Only if I could find one!
Dude your stuff is always on point. I don't even have a Mercedes and I watched the whole thing. I agree with the thick clear comment - I try to lay it on the same way. I love the Mamo shirts in the videos - he lives up the road from me and I'm building one of his LS7's.
You can dim the turn signals on the headlights, then it will look sinister!
Perfect! I did the same thing to my clk 55
Its probably a splash shield, also. So, hopefully when you're driving in the rain, you don't fry the sensor.
Looks perfect
Chris.....been watching your vids for 4 nights straight now.....love your vibe and level of expertise... no wonder Im divorced..lol..anyhew, what did u use to bring the benz' headlights back to life?...did u wet sand? ..lmk the products......I want to do my bimmer w/ 245k miles... btw the paint came out excellent....I prefer a chrome grill but still!...
Great Job👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽
I’d think the cover is just incase your behind someone and they happen to kick up a rock , it’ll hit the protective case instead of the unit itself n possible crack it. ( assuming it’s not cheap ) but I’d run the grille without the cover either way, it looks way better. Imho
But that’s just my guess *
Damn! You're a good painter!
Blurred the next project to late or may thas a sneak peak you give us like the content keep up the good work
Chris, I love your content brother. Do you still have the Cadillac?
My guy sprayed glass In his driveway 🤝
What a transformation holy😍🔥
Screen it in!!!!! Black Screen around the module only Not the Grill.
nice w212
Would like to have my front, rear and rockers redone. The rest is fine. 2012 e-class wagon polar white. It doesn't look 10 years old.
Looks mint man! Keep it up!
It looks amazing bro. Great pre slap to the haters.. what you do works with great results..keep up the great content!!
If I were going that trouble I'd have gone for the facelift lights and bumper
I actually prefer the pre face-lift looks. Not so soft looking
BRAH, YOU DID YOUR "THANG"! IT CAME OUT HARDER THEN "TARZAN" FEET!🔥🔥🔥🔥🤟🏿👌🏿💯
Absolutely love your videos. Great information and well explained. I have a buddy with the same name , but your by far cooler lol. Keep up the great content I am going to subscribe.
🔥🔥🔥🔥👍
Hi M8.you thought about replacing the front with a newer one???it would be an interesting episode..Good Luck!!!
He prefers the prefacelift front
good mornig
🖤🖤🖤
Nice ride
Thanks 👍
🔥🔥🔥
Definitely buying a e63 real soon 🔥💯
Damn makes me wanna pull apart my cls550…….have you tried to fit you factory center caps on those rims….when I put rohana rims on my mbz the factory caps fit right in!!!
Factory center caps are too large unfortunately
@@ChrisSullivan69 damn that sucks
How is the grill holding up? What did you use what grit sand paper? I want to do same thing , i need primer , paint , clear coat? Thanks for response.
WoooW Man 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Whats the red car hiding?
Super nice car, what size are your wheels?
Love those wheel sizes man and wish l could put them on mine! Unfortunately the UK road system is so s##t and dilapidated the bumps and crashes into potholes the size of small animals would be so uncomfortable it would be a waste of money! ☹️
Wow!!! Just wow!!! How did you learn how to do all this?
Wow, just wow 😍🤤
I hope it doesn’t bother you, but I would like to ask you some questions 😉
First of all:
Are you a mechanic in any form? Because you are, obviously, very talented when it comes to „working on a car“. I really was amazed by the fact how awesome your paint job went, hands down, respect!
Second:
After driving this W212 E63 with the M156 engine, how do you like it, compared to your old and BEAUTIFUL W211 E55? I know, you really can’t compare the glorious M113K with a NA M156, but I would like to hear what you are saying and feeling.
Third:
I always thought that you must have „working“ 😉 side markers in the US. Is that fact different from state to state?
Fourth:
Was the „newer“ W212 E63 with the M157 ever a choice for you to buy? Because this engine is for obvious reasons way more „responsive“ for engine tuning or „getting bigger numbers on the dyno“. Don‘t get me wrong, I really love the sound of the M156 engine, it is in my eyes one of the best sounding engines ever.
Okay, that was it 😆 Again, I do hope it doesn’t bother you too much that I wrote such a long comment, but I found your channel a few weeks ago, and I’ve watched almost all of your W211 videos.
The main reason for all of my questions: I am currently looking for a good W211 E55/S211 E55, and I‘m looking for almost a year now. But most of the cars here in Germany are imports from Japan or are cars from the US with a „slightly damaged“ carfax 🤔😉
So I started looking for a newer E63, W212 E63/S212 E63. But when it comes to the W212, I do not really know if I should buy the model with the M156 or with the M157.
Now I finish typing 😝 Okay, one final „word“: The wheels you‘ve put on your car are BEAUTIFUL 🤤 I will definitely try to check if we here are allowed to mount those wheels onto an E63, but here in Germany we do have the TÜV and to drive a car legally on the road, every part on a car needs to have a assessment, and I don‘t know if those rims have one for the German market.
I do wish you a good start into the week, and again sorry for the long comment.
Very kind regards from Germany 🇩🇪, and please forgive me if I did misspell words or if I made grammatical mistakes, all that may result from the fact that I‘m German 😆
See you in the next video, Philipp 👋
Officers dont really enforce the lack of sidemarkers, very rarely
Bro in my opinion the biggest transformation was those headlight lenses LOL what did you use
1500 grit, 2000 grit, cutting compound, polishing compound
@@ChrisSullivan69 awesome thank you. I always used gas lol not as good a result though im gonna try this tomorrow also what kinda spray gun was you using great results bro really good results to not be in a booth
So you were a marine?
How does it ride on the 20’s?
Very nice
Great job!
Never been this early
Will u sell this car n how much
Which brush paper did you use for the grill?
nice job!
Looks great! planning to lower it at all?
Wow cool that was my question to u. Earlier. Is the grill still working without distronic grill, or brings somtimes issus in diagnostic or bordcomputer? Please answer me the question. I want to buy the cl grill from w207 in black. Looks awsome..
Still working fine
@@ChrisSullivan69 thx u for reply my Massage. Ur great. Realy. I try to be like u. But ur realy beast man. 👍👌
I have order the black grill from w207 coupe in black for my car. I hope it will work, it looks very good. But in the discription was standing not working on distronik, lets see if it will work? I'm just so excited.
If i wouldnt see, it work on ur car i would paint to the orginal part.
So thank u very much that u sharing ur experience with us. 👏👏👏👏👍
I also thought the distronic cover on E and S class cars is ugly AF. My S-550 doesn't have distronic but I want to black out my grille. I am probably going to buy a spare chrome one and black it out so that I can swap if I ever want to change it back to chrome. Good to know that it can work without the ugly grille.
On my S-Class I had a similar style exhaust. I took out the secondary bullet cats and replaced with an X-pipe in that location. Left the factory resonator, and then removed the rear mufflers and made some pipe to replace them and welded on the stock AMG tips to keep it looking OEM from the back. It has a nice deep tone around 2000 rpm but no drone in the car. I almost wish it was a little louder but it's just enough to sound mean but classy. I didn't want to do full straight pipe because it sounds too raw. I might remove the resonator and then add in some chambered mufflers at the back, not sure, or I might leave it.
I drove out to Cali and had OE Tuning tune the car for me and I bought their flash loader, so I have 5 tunes on it, stock, 91 octane performance, 91 octane performance with exhaust burble, 110 race gas, and a valet tune that limits it to 45 mph. We only have 91 octane pump gas out west.
Clear bra the sensor for protection and test
Does it throw a code after disconnecting the Distronic?
No it doesn't
@@ChrisSullivan69 sweet
Do you still have the v?
He sold it.
I bought it 😈
Didn't know the bumper was bad until you took it into the sunlight, that was pretty bad.
What’s your tint % all around ?
5% all sides, 35% windshield
Don't like it. Makes it look likle a drug dealers car. Going all black for me is way too much and takes away the cars character. Leave the grille chrome.
