W205 transformation

Hi guys, I wish to give you some pictures of my W205 wich I bought as "sahara edition"
Here is the story behind.

First i bought the car wich was in really bad condition, crashed out many parts, smoked inside, with really no equipment. Price was really good, and car was 1 year old, so I decided to buy it and transform it.
Here are first pictures when I saw it at MB dealership.

So, as previous owner smoked inside, I decided to change roof in the car, and bought new one, becouse smell was terrible.

As you can see, car was too high with those rims and AMG fenders, so only one thing was option

Bought EIBACH springs!

Well, after outside look, it was time to move inside

I was so disapointed with poor sound in car, it was like I was listening music on my iphone no bass, so quiet, and what can I do, I changed that

I bought from gzcarphone whole retrofit, amplifier, and 2 bass woofers, replaced one below co driver foot, and instaled another one below driver foot, (there was hole, I didnt had woofer there!) I also bought suround speaker wich I instaled behind screen in centre console, there is prepared hole, where you can insert speaker and connect it to amplifier.

Sound was amazing!!! Worth every euro!

After sound, it was time to make things look nice, in fact, I have tested my retrofit, with 2 aftermarket woofers, and amplifier, and I could not believe, that it sounded MUCH better than original Burmester in W205!!! I was in shock!

I replaced black speaker cover with original burmester covers.

After that I added 3d tweeters, becouse I didnt had speakers there, it was plastic cover without speaker.

This was the look after instalation.

After I did sound upgrade, it was time for lights inside the car, because my car came without ambient light.

W205 2017 had original 3 colors, but 2019 model have 64 colors, so there was no option I had to do 64 colors upgrade in my car.

Also, air vents were black, and when I saw colored air vents in new W177 my wish was clear

Here are upgrades!

One day, I went to Audi with my friend, and I saw Audi logo on floor when I opened the door. Well, what else can I do

I replaced original red light with AMG logo.

And that was my W205 story, I hope you like it, because I have put a lot effort, love, and time in this car, and made it from crashed Avantgarde to clean AMG look.

Here are final two pictures with his 2 faster brothers my Panigale 1199 and Panigale V4

guys!

Well done. I'm curious about the total cost, and did you get the smoke smell out?

Well done. Great job. What a transformation. 👍
​​​​​​The car looks very aggressive, it needs to have an aggressive exhaust sound. Also did you consider tunning the engine at least stage 1 or adding a performance chip.
