Looks awesome. Are you planning to drive this in the winter or planning to store it in the winter?

The car looks beautiful. I think I’d have to change the rubber mats for tailored though...

Yes ,this is our only car for winter and summer .I like the fact that its an all-season cabrio : having 4MATIC , fold -down rear seats , neck heaters and a soft top which means it has a reasonable trunk space for a convertible , even when the top is stowed .
I've already driven with the top down in 2 deg C weather and it was OK for a short distance .
With Ontario weather I expect to have the top down when I feel like it 8 to 9 months of the year .
Of course the winter mats ( courtesy of MB ), will be replaced with regular AMG mats once winter is over (next month ?)
Thanks for comments
