the car is wonderful after the upgrades!!
the themostat is like MAGIC!! no more 7ararah!! the temp of the car is at around 80C, it used to be close to 100C before the installation! I wonder what the cars temperature going to be in the winter! should be interesting.
and brakes are pretty good 7amdullilah.
and i think you were right about the IC Pump!
and thanks alot bro for the advice! This wouldn't have been possible without you!

Im sending you an email, something interesting.

Since I won't be getting any new rims probably until next year, should I paint the lip on the rims black, same color as the car which will probably be difficult or should I leave them the way they are now?

Change the Command screen and the steering wheel for the SL63 one's and get a better set of wheels, honestly the kahns look bulky.

That was one of the first things I wanted to do the car, change the steering wheel to the SL63's, but the problem is that the red leather that Fab Design used is a bit different than the red that the leather guy in Bahrain has (Freddy's)
I just have to wait till he can get the same red.

And regarding rims, I am in the process of getting a new set of rims.
And congrats on the rims bro!

Let Fab Design buy a SL63 wheel and modify it, easy as that. Not a fan of the wheel as well, get some HRE's ordered. I just placed an order on M40 19" Brushed supposedly its the first slk to have them, it takes 5 weeks max to get here. Btw I might attend an open track day in Bahrain in the winter would be nice if we could meet up with the Bahraini members.

Btw if you ever wanted some upholstery work thats cheaper than Freddy's, there is a place here in Kuwait called Ehsan Dana( Pakistani ) that does quality work restoring old Bentley's etc.

Thats the problem, our Merc dealer is no longer an agent for Fab Design. I'll have to visit the Fab Design showroom in Kuwait or Dubai if i ever get the chance to. Yes that would be really nice to see you, just shoot one of us a PM before reaching bahrain.
