Man what a sick journey you had, congrats. Quick question, how did you manage to update the two screens to the silver theme? Did you go to a dealer and was it difficult to do?
Thanks! I used my STAR Diagnostic C4 to update it. Let's just say if you are not a computer engineer and or have extensive computer knowledge you probably never will figure it out. The dealer has the capability, but they don't do this kind of stuff so everyone is 100% out of luck from that side.
Don't want to Necro bump but I also want to ask how those caliper covers are holding up. I also have a question for you; how do you remove them (for when you are doing maintenance?).
I'm thinking I might completely change the direction of my car next summer and was considering getting similar caliper covers but refinishing and colormatching the rest of the caliper. However, if it damages the black "Mercedes" plate, and is difficult to remove and have to reinstall every time for maintenance, then maybe not.
I know it's something not everyone likes but it looks good in yours and I feel with my technique it will look OEM.

Thanks for the bump Adi, I have to update this thread.
The caliper covers are great. They hold up really well and don't really get dirty. Unfortunately when removing the brake caliper for anything you have to remove the cover and the cover is stuck on with high temp black silicone which takes around 12 hours to harden. It is not difficult to clean since is rubbery and I can clean off residue with a knife. So if I am doing any maintenance like brake pads, I take it off and clean silicone, then when I put it back on with some tape to hold it, I let it sit until the next day. This really shouldn't have to be done very often though.
I don't recommend color matching the OEM caliper for 1 simple reason. The cover hides most of it and it looks like a big brake kit. If you color the caliper and the mounting bracket it will throw off the shape of the cover.
Awesome man i have pretty much done everything you have lol. Havent done the headlights, back up camera, paddle shifters and door sills. Do u have links to wear you bought them and how you installed them? Were the back up camera door sills easy to install?

Your car looks great, the only thing missing is the side skirt extension and rear canard.
I don't think I'll get to the hood anytime soon as I've got other stuff I want to do first. My headlights are OEM so no issues there, you should definitely get these next though.
I just get worried with afternarket headlights and getting condensation in them. Do you have links for the canards and sideskirt extension?
It is a considerable worry but honestly, the halogens are so horrible I would rather deal with minor aftermarket issues and at least have good looking functioning lights.
