Thanks, I dechromed it incl exhaust tips and badges etc and realised it needed color! So went with F1 AMG Petronas Green
Love the carbon bumper grills on yours, I have them at home ready to fit, any tips when fitting them?

What year is your car? 2008/2009 SAM's can be coded. 2010/2011 cannot.
Just get the Depo's on Ebay, they are plug n play. work flawlessly and look identical to OEM.

Interesting, mine is an 09 so i guess can be coded but I was going to do some research on those Depos as they look same in pics, I just wanted to see if they really are identical in real life, especially when illuminated. I actually want orange turn signals too as will take the car to the UK when I go home at some point. I will look at them and see, thanks!

The calipers look like Project Miu calipers.
What will you do with the headlights, when you bring the car back to UK?
I think that your registration office will check your car and put black beam pattern stickers on your headlights.

Most cars in Europe have an adjustment to go from left to right but I haven稚 checked yet if the W204 in the US has the facility. Worst case scenario is I値l have to fit new UK headlights.

So, in order to get the headlight beam to be good for the US use, I bought beam cut off shields made via CAD-CAM out of Aluminum by a guy in Latvia. He digitized the factory shields, used the mirror function in CAD, then made them with the CAM component on a CNC machine.
These things took 8 weeks to come to the US from Latvia.

You’ll also need to ensure that the US car can be adequately (and economically) converted to UK/EU emission and safety standards. May not be as easy as you think. Many years ago I looked into bringing my 996TT back to the States with me from the UK, and the costs involved were staggering.
