It has arrived...





Sorry the pictures are pretty bad, I had limited time. I will upload some more quality ones tomorrow. My build came out so much better than I thought it would!!!!!! Exhaust sounds amazing as well.

Oh baby get that thing ceramic coated if it isn't already! And from this angle, the new tach looks kinda, tacky...

Much rather prefer the analog gauges.

the exterior AMG pack and night packs looks great, I also ordered in my sedan.

One question, what's the height in the front? from ground to the splitter?

regards!

Gorgeous!

Thanks for the pics! There's something about your colour theme that makes it special and different!

Glossy grey with the AMG Night Package and black interior comes together perfectly.

Have you seen it in person?? The "matte" finish they have applied to the screen looks much more natural and analog than most cheap screens on cars (think Audi instrument clusters). Also having seen it (and ordered it for my upcoming C43 coupe) it makes the analog dials feel ancient.

I agree 100% with that. I will also just finished 1 layer of ceramic coating on the hood, tomorrow I will continue with 2 more for the hood, and 2 more for the rest of the body toped with carpro gliss!

I will try to get that info asap! These pictures do not do the grey with black accents justice! After i'm done with the ceramic coats I will take proper pictures. I actually tried to change colors at first to black, but it was to late thankfully! I think if you want a subdued badass sport look, the amg optics package with the grey is the only way!

No, I haven't seen the screen in person. It is just that the colours in the picture look so out of place compared to the traditional AMG analog gauges. I am sure the anti-gloss coatingon the screen makes it look much better.

On another note, OP, can you take a photo of the car straight on from the front?

it looks swesome!! I was between the brilliant blue and selenite grey, with the same night package+exterior AMG package. At the end i go for the blue, but I see the selenit grey it's also a superb option!

thanks!!. on the front height, in my home entrance I had some issues with my current car, it will be helpful if I need to change something (not the car, jajajajaja)

it looks likes the sides are lower than the front.

regards!!
