I did Rennens but dual staggered with 20s in the rear and 19s up front. I also had coilovers...without them, looked like I was taking it off-road!Wow 30k$ plus cost of wheels & Coilovers is dedication. Lol
It was all worth it though, ur car looked so good in person.
OP, springs isn't enough for this kit.. U need Coilovers to complete the look.
lol

Sure! E-class rear axle, oil cooler package, coilovers, different LSD supercharger and tune. But after that I would be almost done. Wait - I could spend 20 grand on carbon fiber too....
On the other hand I drove it to work today and opened it up some. I was still grinning half an hour later in the middle of a boring meeting. Its all worth it!

Wow they wanted $20K for the CF bits?!

Bardman, I agree with you, that's where I am also. However, I will first observe oil temperatures and decide later. No hurry.
The 20K for CF bits was a joke, but I can imagine you can spend that. The original CF rear diffuser from Mercedes would have been 7 grand, for example. I would be amazed if anybody every buys that given the alternatives out there.

Sure can!
The rims are ADV1 MV2 2 piece forged
front: 19x9 offset 35
rear: 19x10 offset 25
matte black
However: The front offset was not ideal, the pictures show the front wheels with 1/2 inch spacers, so the best offset for the front would be more like 23 mm (19x9 offset 23). Since ADV1 makes all rims to order, you can order them exactly to those specs. In the front, the concavity would then be a bit more pronounced.

Thanks for the kind words, I hope so too! I am extremely happy with it. The handling is so much better and the Yokohamas are very predictable/loose grip very gradually. I love going around tight bends in Sport Handling mode and bringing the tail around effortlessly and in a very controlled fashion. I am curious what mileage I'll get from them.
A couple smaller things still to fix, like a defective parking sensor and then a tune. But it never truly ends, I guess.

2013 AMG C63 Coupe 507
Beautiful car!!! I have the identical twin before you started personalizing yours. Mine is still stock, but the thought of a wide body was on my mind from when I bought it. The BS rear fenders just suit the W204. It is the one thing about the 507 I'm not in love with - the narrow rear.
The price difference to a BS is 50-60k for me IF you can find one, and as you say, the 507 is new.

I have converted my 2014 507 Edition by installing the original BS fenders, quarter panels and rocker panels. The wheels are custom ADV1 (look somewhat similar to the original BS wheels); Yokohama Advan Neova AD08R with 255 front, 295 rear. HR springs, Laser Jammers front and rear; blacked out lights and chrome.
Result: much better rear end grip than stock, runs like on tracks, rock solid. I love the way it drives!!
Is this the best of both worlds - latest engine, BS body, parking sensors, sunroof?

Wow, amazing job. That car looks fantastic.
Love the wheels! Are they Satin Black? The rears are super aggressive... Are they + 15 offset or something crazy like that.

I am very happy with the Yokohama's. They loose grip very gradually and are very controllable. In standard mode the traction light still comes on quite a bit, but I drive it in Sport most of the time and it is very easy to dose then. I only have about 1,700 miles on them so cannot say yet, what mileage I will get.
The rear rims are 19x10 with an offset of 25 and 295/30/19 tires. The front rims are 19x9 with an offset of 35 and 255/35/19. However, that turned out too conservative, so I am running them with 15mm spacers. I should have ordered the rims with a 20 mm offset.

The 6.3 badges are coming from Mercedes. The bodyshop doing the conversion got them. However, you can order them online from a number of sources with the part number (which you can get from EPC). Let me know if you need that and I can look it up for you.
