W201 V12 The New Look !!!!

The W201 V12 is about 98% done. I have to do some small bit’s. Like logo’s and enginebay paneling.  Wiring and some interior bit’s.  I did also the first testdrive with the my family after the re-assembling.  It drive’s very good.  And with some weight in the rear seat the car has alot of grip!!

The W201 V12 The New Look  is painted in the 199 blue/black color with the faceliftpaneling in 7700 altro grey.   Im very happy with the result and this color combination. It looks just fantastic i think. Also the wheels looking much better under the car i think.

I will change 1 thing in the look. There rear suspension needs to go a little bit up.  I order stiffer springs because my shock absorbers are maxed out. This will need to be mounted after i got the parts in house. I will raise the car about 5 to 10mm  because of the wheels are wide and match the outside of the wheelarch. When going to a pothole are bad road surface the wheel can hit the new painted fender.  I just don’t want that.

The next few weeks i will make the car 100% ready and will do so driving video’s with the car.  I also have to do some fine tuning adjustments to the gearbox controls.  when going of throttle the gearbox is shifting up to hard . also the first 30% throttle positions can be softer making the car. even more nice to drive at low speeds and throttle positions
