2016 C63s Estate Edition 1

adding C63 AMG CARBON FIBER BLACK SERIES / 507 AMG ENGINE HOOD VENTS to my 2016 C63s

Hey all,

I have been thinking of modifying my 2016 "Edition 1" C63s hood. First I was looking to replace the whole hood with a CF version (one that comes with a window) but decided no as too ricey. I have now thought of modifying my current hood and inserting the subtle C63 AMG Carbon Fiber Black Series / 507 AMG Engine hood vents. I can get them from Tuning Empire: https://www.tuning-empire.com.au/mer...ood-vents.html

My question are:

has anyone attempted this and done this successfully? (I dont mean replacing the plastic ones on a current 507 hood, I mean cutting new holes in a W205 / S205 (2015+) and adding them in)
If so, did you add anything underneath / underside of the hood similar to what comes on the 507? (see special limer attached). If so, where did you get this liner/part?

Any help / thoughts / suggestioned would be appreciated as I really want to complete this but I want to do it right. It's not a cheap job as the CF vents cost $600aud. Bonnet removal, cutting holes and respray etc will be about $1500-$2000k aud. Im 100% preparred to pay this but want to ensure it can be done. Thanks all....
