Well Done!! WOW! That looks amazing!!!..and it isn't even finished yet but I can almost visualize the finished product. Gets me thinking about this too.

Now that you've gone that far, why not fit the BS matt black multispoke wheels (which just look awsome), do the front headlights and rear taillights to be done with it all?

Come on...just do it.. I'm sure many of us are living vicariously through you! :-))

PS-Please ignore the grammar.

EDIT-I see that they also grafted a portion of the quarter to be used on the doors. This crew you have is very skillful. Your car will be truly unique. Please don't ever store it away in a barn somewhere.
You got it right. If you noticed the rear door line had to be changed in order to keep away from the front of the fender which was going to interfere with the small black grill in front of the rear wheel. Did the best we could.

Not a chance this car will end up in a barn unless I'm dead in it.
I'm headed to Sebring the end of September for the next "Flat Out Motorsports" track event. Since I'm the only AMG left in the group I'll have to represent us well.

I know there are problems wiring the front headlights or I was going to do that. I hadn't thought about the rear lights. Whats the difference??

Just to give you an idea how far out these fenders are, the tires are 345-30 19 Sport Cup on 19 x 12" wheels. They still fit directly under the fender as you can see.

I've attached a picture of a silver C63 where the guy fitted both the new front and rear lights to the pre-facelift vehicle and got them working. The black C63 is with the standard pre-facelift rear lights.

Amazing project and can't wait to see what it looks like and also how much better it hooks up with those tyres.

Please blend the paintwork with the front door though!

I just talked to Dave and they will gladly reproduce this work. You will need to get the BS parts which we now know what all there is and then he will do the work. Its been LOTS of hours but they did take measurements and know what to do this time.

Talk to Dave at Sanford Paint and Body. 407-322-8844.
More pictures to come.

The part I like the most is that it will look factory.
