Ours is "factory fitted".

You can try http://www.benzline.com.sg/coporate-profile.html for those chrome letters. Look for Eric.

you can always powdercoat them red and relabel them brembos, since those AMG brakes were made by Brembo, nothing wrong with rebadging them.

I like the idea, but I think it makes the car look a little cheap. (Maybe because it's not a straight line but instead a L shape )

Sorry guys, i dun have the details of the actual modifications done except that they had to modify the original w212 foglight grille to fit.

and they do not want to release the part number to me as it is currently a controlled item since the w212 has not been launched in Asia

Can any forummer who is in Europe check with their authorized dealer?

Not from the authorized dealer as w212 not launched here yet.

So the sets have to be ordered from sources in Europe.
