Hi Mate,
I wasnt trying to show off or anything when i pulled in in front of you, was just in a massive hurry. I really wanted to sit off your shoulder and listen to your engine noise, i have never pulled up next to one before, i could listen to that sound all day.!! God they sound good at cruising speed. I think it looks tremendous in white by the way! Black ones kind of the loose the detail of the car's contours etc you know.
I got the Revosport diffuser and ground effect piece as well. Luckily i didnt have to install it. When i sent the car to Brabus guys in Melbourne i had them put it on for me. They said it was relatively painless. There is a detialed explanantion along with photos that someone kindly posted on this forum no too long ago showing exactly how to remove the stock diffuser and put replacement on.
Personally i think it looks great. They quality of the finish is flawless and the fins are a little bigger than standard which gives it a little more aggressive look. I highly recommend it.
FYI My new HREs go on today and the old ones (ex tyres) will be available for sale if you are interested. They are in perfect condition. Here are some pics of old wheels available for sale

Thansk guys those are the old HRE M40s that i am now trying to sell.
I have my Comp20s on and will put some photos up over the weekend. I think the new ones suit the car much better than the M40s which had no lip.
I got the rear sideskirts, front oil vent covers and rear diffuser with ground effect piece from Revosport. The 3 piece rear spoiler is from Brabus

cars looking good mate!! I definately have to get the rear diffuser, the bigger fins reminds me of a clk63 black series that hammered past me the other night~
Im sticking to the 18s for the time being, as i still have heaps of tread left on the tires, the bloody bellevue rd pot hole in the beginning is the biggest pain, I am thinking ot complain to the council, it spills my coffee and hurts my suspension!!

I hear what you are saying, the state of Bellevue Hill Rd is an utter disgrace. They have redone parts of Old South Head Rd so maybe Bellevue Hill Rd is next. It is potholes and bumpy joints from start to finish. Try doing it in a lowered ML63 with 22in wheels! its very uncomfortable.
If they ever resurfaced it, it would make for a great racing road! A good 2km or so with some nice curves. I give it a good run late at night when traffic is very quiet
. I have started bypassing it altogether when i am coming home from work and continuing along Old South Head to Victoria Rd - much better surface!

Hi guys will put some pics up this weekend. Lost my cable that connects camera to the laptop, real pain in the a-hole.
Am very happy with the look of the new wheels. I think the staggered lip gives the car a whole new level of aggressiveness.
And that CF on door pillars i bought on Ebay, nice and thin and the fit is very good. Personally i think it looks like factory stuff, not a tacky aftermarket
