Actually I did get the rear cover painted. here is a pic..
But then, when we pulled it off and stepped back, it actually looked good with it off since it was painted and shiny black, which is the look I was going for.

Wow, just wow. You sir, have class.

Im in love with your mods. I especially like the pedals, and the mats.

And those wheels .... are S I C K! Did they come with the MB style center caps, or did you get those seperate?

You gotta send those pics over to mercedes-amg.com so they can use your car as the brochure cover!

Oh and, did you get to keep the Euro License plates?

Thank you!
The center caps are OEM caps that some of cars come with, I tried 3 different caps, and these looked the best.

Yea I have the euro plates, check the pics above, I put it back on the car

Thanks again for the compliments its appreciated!

The Brabus wing came from F1 Autosport in LA http://www.f1motorsports.com/

Door pins came from ebay.
The wing was fairly easy, the existing ones peels off, its held on by double sided tape. And I used double sided tape for the Brabus wing as well. All though it came with glue, my bodyshop recommend the heavy duty tape that they use.

Yeah they are, I love all the mods, unusual for me since I like a Benz to remain "clean". Subtle mods are the way to go, not the ones that totally transform the car into something else (read: tacky). Gorgeous car!
