Nice work! When I saw some of your earlier pictures, I was not sure if those bronze wheels would work but the final combination of materials and colors is fantastic. Congrats on a job well done.

Thanks, and thats actually how I felt prior to getting the wheels based on some of the instagram photos Ive seen of other sets. I thought they looked too gold -- but it turns out that was more because of the filter someone was using. I love how they came out.

Can you post a link and cost for those CF mirrors? Those are not just covers, right? I pick up an Ebay set and they don't look half bad but I don't know if I'll keep them.

I looked at their site but I see nothing for the W218. Was this a custom job?

Yup! If I didn't have a preexisting relationship with MACarbon, I would've hit you up for mirrors.

No problem Pertplus
MACarbon has amazing quality. Their products are beautiful but the labor costs in the US make the prices for their products extremely high.

BTW I think I will copy your white/bronze theme on my next car.
I just can't stop looking at it. Astonishing.

No CF on the inside and I know if I did the steering wheel (already have the PP steering wheel) then I'd end up getting the entire CF interior. Gonna keep it as is for now, but won't lie and say it hasn't crossed my mind!

Considering how much cars on this forum have inspired my modding (and also shown me what I don't like), I would be flattered to be a partial inspiration for others' modding ventures. It also doesn't hurt that HRE really makes the best wheels out there and their bronze to me is just simply gorgeous!

I'll second the bronze colors. You wouldn't necessarily think about it if someone simply told you about it. But seeing it really makes it unique. If I were going to wrap my car but keep the bronze wheels, white would be the way I'd go.

This actually made me thinking - I could get a white wrap and send my HREs to be repainted at their headquarters in Germany...

BTW I forgot to ask - does Oso get to ride shotgun?

Car looks awesome. Congrats.
Could you please expand on your audio upgrades:
Arc Audio PS8 digital processor. Searched online and could not find a price on this bad boy but looked expensive. Is it really worth it versus a simple separate volume bottom. I know it obviously allows for better tuning.
Focal Utopia Speakers. Did you replace the inside speakers with those?
Imagine Dynamic Midbass. What is that?

Sure. For the Arc Audio I think retail is anywhere between $800-$900. This replaced my Audison Bit One digital Processor. To break it down as I understand it, the point behind the digital processor is to basically help transmit the quality of sound tantamount to an aftermarket head unit. So, if you are a Mercedes owner and it would take an act of God to remove the stock headunit, the digital processor enables you to get crisper sound and more power to aftermarket speakers and subs than a stock headunit. I was having issues with the Bit One (on rare occasions, I would say, 1 out of every 50 startups, my car would turn on but the Bit One wouldnt and therefore I would have no sound in my car. Something about there being an occasional miscommunication between the car starting up and the processor sending a signal to turn on.). So far the PS8 has been fantastic and the highs are more crisp and the bass has a much deeper feel.

As for everything else (Focal Utopias were for the Front Speakers):
