No it is stock calipers painted black and R129 rotors SL55/60/600. In front a 1,5mm spacer under the rotor is necessary to make it fit.

Perhaps the Porsche caps are a reminder that the 500E was built by Porsche at Weissach

Popeye, when I see that front end view, my knees go weak....
Again all I can say is that you have probably have made the best looking C43 in the world. Perhaps an AMG Black Series C43 would have looked something like that if it had existed

This car would look sick with a c63 hood

You should look up jstrat and his w202. He had a custom hood

I have to admit I am literally in love with your car. It looks like a blackseries version of the C43. Maybe I will see your car in Hattingen shone sterne meeting Deutschland ? Very much respect for all the work! is there a shop you can recommend me for doing something similar to a c36? After I upgraded my suspension and exhaust work, I now want to to some small performance mods. As a last part of my built it would be sick to give it a wider more mean look like this. But that would be something for in the future, cant do it all at the same time.

@PJmak
The Hood is custom already with the gills. In past my idea was to insert the bumps of a Ford Kuga. During the conversion my idea was to do a SL 65 AMG Hood conversion and I already had folded metal Sheets for the conversion. Finally I decided to Keep the bonnet as it is... it is a lot of extra work again and welding on those big flat Areas always is dangerous because of Deformation and it is almost impossible to get it back in shape. And in the end I was not sure if it will look nice. Could be to much...

@benzslo
What do you mean left/right? Sorry, did not understand.

@w202mylove
I already ordered tickets, so probably I will be in Hattingen.
