All this stuff is easily found if you take a bit of time and look. This should help get you started.

First thing, can i swap the Dashboard With the new model?
- No

brakes upgrade what is the best and can i find used calipers? Do you have the code?
- No need to upgrade brakes. You can always paint the calipers.

body kit or Bumpers advice
- No, unless you want to venture down the black series path.

side mirror new model and eventually Carbon fiber cover
- Yes, RWCarbon

interior Carbon trim.
- Yes, member Matt @olszowa12 makes great carbon pieces (example). Reach out to him if interested.

DYI on everithng reguarding the car.
- It can be dyi on everything if you have the knowledge and time. A lot of members work on theirs.

performance upgrade (no supercharger) just remap
- Member @hachiroku can help you with a tune. There is also Eurocharged, Renntech and many other types of tunes, do your research for what you want.

sport differential like the Black series is possible?
- You can get a LSD like Wavetrac or Quaife. If you want to spend a bit more, there is the OS Giken.

removing the cat and new exhaust with sport cat
- Just remove the secondary cat and replace with straight pipe (keep resonator). Will make it a about 25-35% louder but keeps the deep AMG sound.

command upgrade
- Just have to deal with it. It sucks but not really much better options out there (unless you want to transplant a screen/android device into the spot).

This thread should give you all the info you need Exhaust info for a noob. @Mikegpr03 makes a power pipe if you want to go that route (example).

thanks for help, i think i will go with long headers, i am obsessed since i don’t want old cats, and i change the secondary cats, now it is clear, i was confused since to my audi 3.0 tfsi i did the test pipes and new cats after that, she Does not have secondary cat. Do you think only the secondary cat are enough for the smell?
