Initially just the dark grey. Other colours would depend on:

A) if it actually happens
B) if they turn out to be popular or not.

Why not make the stripe different. Why make it identical. Not hating, just don't get it...

It's more creating the stickers to be true to Mercedes AMG and OEM, not so much to "be a 507".
"If Mercedes made it that way, that's the look I want..."

It's like putting black series style wheels on a C63. Your more so trying to retain the original manufacturer look and spirit than look like an aftermarket freak show...

So not to be beaten I did some digging around to find out the colour of the vinyl and order some myself. Avery 700 series 759-01 Komatsu Grey seemed to be a pretty good match and at £6 per metre I ordered some in.


Cutting the stripes wasn't too hard but I had to get our graphics department at work to cut the trickier bits.


A few pics of my work in progress. Ill post up some better photos when the job is finished.


Oh and to the haters, I know my car isn't a 507 but I don't care what you think

👍👌

It looks good too me. If you like it, that's all that matters. It's not as bad as slapping a AMG badge on a regular 'ol Mercedes. Hell, it's still a AMG. Get the hood vents too, they look awesome. Only 507 owners will turn their noses up to it, F**k 'em.

Previous owner had put them on my car already, and I was pretty torn about them. I don't really feel they are poser (MB has put them on cars other than the 507 I believe) but I just didn't know if I liked them. Im not really a 'stripes' kind of guy.

Reality is my 11 year old son will be devastated if I take them off, and his opinion and love for this car matter more to me than what any random internet stranger would say. That said, "better" is subjective and hard to quantify, but "different" should be easy, and thats what most of us actually want.

507

Nice touch..... in matte so subtle.

Dont be ashamed to mimick the 507 styling...... it is pretty sexy.

For the easiest solution.
They are on eBay in a few different colors.
