You probably don't want to say, but how much cheaper is this going to be compared to the B.S., & what plus's or minus's do you think you will have relative to the factory car.
I wish you every success, Pickles.

As long as you have BS type of front bumper, you can put those 4 fins on your bumper. It has nothing to do with coupe or sedan.

This is much less work with the SGA BS kit.. No need to cut the quarter panel...

I Have had some problem of engine oil high temperature during track days with car going into limp mode...I am installing the cooling system of the C63 black series: bigger center oil cooler with new air channel for the black series bumper, bigger side cooler with removal of the cooling fan and new air channel for the black series bumper. I have also installed the 180F thermostat from MHP. Keith (Dads C63) is the one that was the first to try this new setup, not sure if he manage to test this new configuration during track days and what was the result...

I have decided to go for wider rims with more aggressive offset. So I am selling my HRE P43SC wheels. If anyone is interested, here is the link to the thread:

Coming out nicely!

What color are you shooting for? Also the wheels that's on there now are those the new wheels or is there another set coming?

Ha! It's a never end story! Rear rotor is too small and brake upgrade is on the way! Can't wait to see the final look!

Will probably come out great once painted as all BS conversions with OEM parts do.

I will finally keep the original color of the car that was Diamond White. These are the new wheels (Rennen M10).

The Rennen M10 monolicht seems to be very popular. Craiger as the same wheels for his BS conversion.
