Ok so I was really happy with my e55amg over the moon to be honest, was going to be mapping in the next few weeks... Well that was the plan until a freelander tried to mate with the rear end!

Me and the misses were sat still in traffic when with no warning SMASH!!! Guy didn't even attempt to stop, witness said he estimated the guy was doing 50-60 but I will never know! He had his licence 2 weeks, and blew just under the limit on a breathalyser. My fiancé was hurt really bad resulting in an ambulance.

both of us are on the mend and the car was written off, you can't tell from the pics but the boot floor had folded in 18-20" but the car still drove home (with police escort)

anyway, got a payout after a week and today collected another e55 amg :)

its a slightly better spec with massage seats and dynamic seats (grip you in corners) and Harmon kardon speaker upgrade also it's a 2004 on a 53 plate which is weird but I will be getting a private plate eventually.

im going to fit my carbon spoiler and carbon splitter this weekend and also do black grill and all the chrome strips black, along with front tint removal!

Will be be changing the crank pulley and putting a bigger heat exchanger on and new supercharger pump and chip which should push me to 600ish bhp then it will be headers to make 650bhp ish :)

Happened on the 1st of feb lol new car today so 14 days isn't so bad, had a new s class as a hire car (which was shagged and went back after 1 day) then an x5 lol! This 55 feels faster than my last!

as for the neighbours one just said "they fixed that quick!!!" Didn't notice it was a diff colour lol
 
Sorry to see & hear about that. Is the dude getting done for anything?

You got your new one pretty damn quick.

How come they paid out so quickly? Or is that the norm or an easy claim?

New one looks nice too.

Hope you both get better soon.

Sounds an open and shut case tbh, witnesses and the fact they were at a standstill, can't exactly say, "they came out of no where".

Glad your on the mend and you went back to the same car.

Superb Malice. Great to see a claim dealt with so promptly. Surprising how quick they deal with things when they're being charged £100 a day car hire. :)

Has it gone Navy Blue to Black? The Navy Blue was nice looking.

Great bus though!

It happened on the sat, on the Monday they called me and offered £5500 to which I told them "no" lol, then Monday just gone they offered another figure and I said I wanted another £1k and they agreed.

yeh original was tanzanite blue, which is a lovely colour, very deep pearl in it but was only nice when clean (much like black lol) however I have a thing for black e55's and always kind of regretted not getting a black one. It will look much better murdered out :) hoping that I can start to detail it on Sunday and get it looking much better :)
 
Good result. Never in a million years is that a 50-60mph impact though. If it was, you likely wouldn't be here to tell the story. Just saying.

Awesome bus by the way. You can't beat a bit of AMG :approve:

Car isn't finished yet, all the other chrome trim is going black too and it has a front splitter to go on too, I like it anyway :)

Awesome. I want to hear this thing!

Stock don't expect much noise lol, the e was dulled down on exhaust note massively! You get a bit of noise on hard acceleration but it is just a bit, will be sounding proper soon though :)

I've often considered one of these as a replacement for the C270, but I need to drive one! Lovely car.

Was my birthday last week and the fiancé got me some parts!


Before I fitted them I fitted the front splitter

Misses got me the alloy mb pedals, strangely the amg's came with black rubber ones, but these are much nicer

she also got me some c63 amg paddle shifters, the 55 has 2 buttons on the rear of the steering wheel, which just don't inspire you to use them and for some reason mb made them white which they then turn black/brown from mucky fingers....

The paddles are far from a straight fit, meaning the old buttons have to be taken apart and the new shifters then the circuit boards milled to fit the new paddles, it took me a good 2 hours to get perfect, but it's spot on now!
