AMG calipers on C350?
Has anyone done an AMG caliper upgrade for a prefacelift C Class, and if so, do you need to upgrade from the 17" AMG style wheels, or is there an AMG 4+ piston caliper that will fit behind these wheels?

W204 Terminology: Help a noob.
Im still trying to figure out some of the terminology that gets thrown around in regards to the W204... for example:
"Pre-Facelift"
"Post-Facelift"
Lets start with those two. What do they mean exactly? What do they look like?
=== DUH, this was meant to be a new thread! Sorry! ===

"Post-Facelift"

Pre-facelift is 2008-2011(?) Post-facelift is 2012(?)+
Pre-facelift had foglights, wider turn signals on the mirrors and eyelids above the headlights. Easiest way to tell the difference. Post had LED strips in place of the foglights, much sleeker and better looking headlights, narrower turn signals on the mirrors plus I think the bumper and hood and fenders were slightly differnet. (hood for sure, due to the headlights being different). Hope that makes sense.
EDIT: Oh yeah, and the interior on the post-facelift is all different.

Thanks, and thanks for the link too buklae. That was a good read.
In that thread, he added some 19" wheels and it looks like he pretty much eliminated most wheel gap in the front, and a lot from the back. Im assuming he is on stock suspension, as he didn't mention anything about lowering springs or coilovers in the thread.
I can apparently get some OEM C63 19" wheels here in Germany for relatively cheap. If I were to get a set of OEM C63 wheels in preparation for a C63 BBK, how would they fit as far as coming flush with the front and rear fenders and how much wheel gap would they leave if I stayed with stock suspension? Anyone have any pics of a normal C Class with 19" C63 wheels and stock suspension? Id like to get an idea of how it would look
