Can you please send me a part list 🙏🙏🙏
I am doing a new thread for my oem black series. I made a thread couple months back with doing a fiberglass kit which i gave up on. It was way to much work to get it right so i decided to buy all oem black series parts. ( over a 100 parts). if you are trying to do the same thing, you are looking at around $12k just for parts, 3k to take the quarters off and about 5k for paint depending on shop. I did not want to spend another 8k for that so i decided to build this at home in my garage. I did not buy the track package and did not get the wider track because i wanted custom deep concave rims. Technically this is a black series now. all parts came from Mercedes Germany and pretty much all on back order and will be waiting months to get them. follow me on instagram @ blwn63

Can I ask how much just the body pieces cost you. Just the bumpers, quater panels etc? Thanks

Surprised you were able to purchase BS parts without owning a BS. I was told you have to go to a Mercedes dealership with proof of ownership to order BS parts.

Plenty of people have done it. All you need is $$$$ and a BS VIN or compliant service dept friend.

Nice job, I can't see too well but maybe you want to adjust hood alignment as there looks to be a bigger gap by the passenger headlight, otherwise great work

Great job, where did you but the oem spoiler and flicks? My local MB dealer is quoting me $12,900 Canadian dollar (about 10k USD) I have an Bkacj series with out the Aero kit and want to add the OEM kit.

Where did u buy the parts?
Dear is it possible to buy the parts from you? I have asked the mercedes dealer in the netherlands but the price is much higher than the 12k

There is no way the OEM BS parts required for a proper conversion could cost just $12k. You’re looking at $16-18k alone for the major parts (hood, front bumper, front fenders, side skirts, quarter panels, rear bumper and not including meshes, connecting sheets, brackets, accessories, nuts and bolts, wheels, suspension etc.).
