Wonderful build! The CBS looks so good on P101's.

You should really consider the leather airbag cover to finish off that look perfectly (I also have that carbon wheel trim and love it). They're cheap on eBay. I'll take a pic later, it's one of those little details that make more of a difference than you would think.

When I first had my wheels, after a 2 month wait for the wheels to be made, there was still no rubber to get on the wheels in all of Japan which sucked big time (for a 265 and 305 x20). Ended up running a 255 on the 10j which was incredibly stretched, was a nightmare. Finally after about 5-6 months I managed to get the 265s and 305s from America that was on back order. I agree that even the 265 is not wide enough. But if I put 275s I would have had to raise my car 3cm or so. The 265s are literally millimeters from the front suspension. The next pair of wheels will definitely be a smaller width up front. The whole ordeal wasn't fun lol. Weird thing is other CBS owners had 10j up front too. A 9 or 9.5 would be perfect. Anyway the mpss run wider then the previous conti 5p so even though they are a little stretched they look a million times better. As soon as there is som decent weather I'll get some pics up

Thanks, love it too! Pretty easy to change out the old panel, just pull it off and swap pretty much.

Thanks! I want to copy your red pin stripes in the interior, so deadly. Love your build too!

I'd love to see a pic when you get a chance! I can imagine how it looks! Tough to change it?

The front looks so much better & flush with the 265 PSS. Too bad u can't go lower though.

Totally, I'm much happier with the fitment and the flushness although since I'm a a little bit of a perfectionist, I'll probably get another set of HRE wheels with the perfect fitment/ off sets etc haha. Not anytime soon but... Well maybe sooner than later.

Really wish I could go a bit lower. Rainy again today but will get some full body shots and more angles soon

Not raining today so I snapped a few shots with my new camera. I haven't washed my car yet but it's not too dirty. Anyway here are a few more pics.


Pretty decent stance but wish I could lower my car a few more cm






Mode carbon vents


Carbon wrapped inner door sills




Nice window shot for Meng lol





Hope you guys enjoy the pics I'm sharing. There will be more mods to come and more pics, stay tuned

Oufff, ur car is looking sexy & ur stance is nearly perfect. Great job!

Only thing I would do is move the AMG private lounges stickers to the front windows, they don't look good on the quarter windows at all.

Thanks Meng! I am a lot happier with everything, stance is pretty good. Been a real challenge. Still may do something crazy in the near future. Like another set of wheels haha. We will see

Yea, when they replaced the windows, the amg sticker was on the quarter rear window already so I just threw up the PL sticker beside it for now. Doesn't bother me too much but I think I will just take them off completely. Cleaner look and don't need any stickers.

Anyway thanks for all the help and advice over the many past months! Appriciate it

Thanks! Yea the carbon door jams make me smile everytime I open the door. Subtle detail that really goes a long way.

Finally got around to taking a pic today. I tried to do it, and had the airbag off and was prying at the 8-million tabs holding the airbag cover in place, and then decided that a screwdriver and airbag don't mix so had a professional do it. It's a snap-off snap-on part, but incredibly hard to get off and not worth risking my safety to do it. I almost think you have to cut the tabs of the old cover in order to get it off, and I just didn't want to mess with it anymore.

You should look into doing the paddles in carbon too

Stunning! That center leather part really completes the interior! Thanks for the pic! Think it would be too much if I had the stitching in red? Love the paddles too, the stock grey ones look cheap in my opinion. Next mods on the list

Car looks amazing, well done indeed.

For the rear 11j wheels were 305 an issue? I know they normally recommend 295s on them.

I can't get over the stance, it is perfect in every way and the wheels x tires are sitting perfectly.

Love the small touches, it really makes a difference.

Enjoy!

Thanks! There are 0 issues running 305s. In fact I could run 315s with 0 issues too. Even 325s would work on a 12j but some minor rubbing would occur, would need to trim a tiny bit of plastic. The black series on the wheel boutique website is on 12j 325 rears and has the same sizes as my fronts. Not sure why I can't lower my car in the front anymore then I have now but other cbs's can with the same front sizes and have no problems. Must be my Öhlins suspension is slightly wider then the stock KWs.

I'm fairly happy with my stance thx, but might buy another set of HREs and get wider rears and slightly skinnier fronts with a slightly more aggressive off set.

Not sure yet but thinking about it haha!
