Nice car! I really like the 18" Monoblocks with the lowering you've got. Makes the car look elegant but aggressive.

The car has not been lowered, i think it's the 18" wheels that just fill the arches. Thanks for your kind words.

very nice! would you happen to have any pics of the smoked turn signals from the front and/or front 3/4 angle? i am considering buying those also, and was curious as to how they looked from those views.

Hi Peter

That is truly an automotive work of art, well done sir!

Have to ask, where did you get the steering wheel from and may I be so bold as to ask for what price? Simply looks stunning.

We will have to organise a mini AMG get together at somepoint and get some of the guys together from the different forums, as I need an excuse to see the vehicle in the metal now!

Well done again, great pics!

Regards Nath

That stance must be the European spec suspension because that looks a lot lower than mine, even considering the 18's. Those wheels really do enhance the look of the car a lot. I'm thinking more and more that I'll have to do the 18" monoblocks. You're car looks gorgeous. You didn't waste anytime getting started on the modding.

Hi Nath,

The steering wheel is a one off, it was made for one of the Sultan of Brunei's cars.
Many thanks for all your kind words and I have not got any further photo's of the smoked side lights I'm afraid.

They came as standard on the UK C43's, they are rubber.

They are very expensive about $95 each for some reason.

I know one thing - US cars have to adhere to a ride height standard that maybe different or not existent for Euro-spec cars, which may explain the stance. I've always loved that steering wheel BTW. What grill is that? I have been pondering whether to or not to install one for my white C43. Also, if you can or could you read off the headlamp lens P/N - should be on the bottom edge closest to the grill.
