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:

1. 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)
2. 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....

These are the upgraded CF 507 vents

What I am looking to acheive on my S205 wagon...

the underside of the 507 hood with the liner and special vent attachments.. do I need these and where can I get them?

my current S205 Wagon all black out pumping 1000nm and some decent carbon added already....
