Everything looks great...but I think the problem with the wheels is they don't have a silver rim on them like AMG_55's car does. Its all black, so it looks like you have doughnuts or winter tires with no hub caps on the car. I think black rims with that chrome stripe on the edge looks hot....even better on a black car. But all black tire on a white car just seems wrong. It can't be just me and uownme that think this....maybe?
I think the taillights are fine also.

OK, I also have a problem with the engine pic. Why did you leave the two pieces of plastic there that have the dots on them....they represent the cyliders. It would look alot cleaner if you removed these last two. Do you know what I'm talking about?

Awesome car.dont let anyone ruin it for you, with that said.
I dont like the theme of the car at all. It does not look aggressive it looks sloppy. I hope you dont paint the brabus Mono black. You spent all that money on your HRE's and they look like my neighbors civic with black donuts.
Can you please post some pics of the Front ENd?

stunning
I think the white with all black wheels i perfect. I dont car fo rthe tail lights but the black wheels are .... just perfect. the black rim with silver lip is the most played look (my wheels are black w/ silver) in the history of a MB. I think they will come standard soon :p thats how bad it's gotten. but the all black looks clean. I would have it no other way. The tail lights and tint I do not dig but whatever, it's your car. the car overall looks great/ emblems and wheels / grill... wowsers.... 
....
very risky combo but i think it worked great.
carry on

After a long time, My beast has been delivered back to me. (Hartmut himself brought me the car today!)
My output of the car is 400 rwhp/436 torque - dyno looks great! the car is also tuned to run with the NOS -
I have suspension work done as well as Pilot Sport Cups tires...
I have read many posts claiming well over 400 rwhp - some as hight as 450 -
where am I getting with all of this -
My car feels like it hydroplanes all through 1st, 2nd, and almost all of 3rd gear. IT IS FAST! so fast that I don't think I even need the NOS. (granted I have only had the car for the night!) (Vadim, car feels twice as strong as when you last saw it)
It would be very interesting to see how all of these S/C cars measure up against one another. I would like to see how these 450 rwhp car launch and continue to take off (I know Josh has LSD...)
let me know when you guys all meet up!
