W215 V12TT Build by Speedriven, W221 S550 4Matic
Thanks hopefully I will like it, it's good to change things up. BTW car looks sick on your sig.
Thanks Alex,
Can you guide me to the kit and where I can purchase it?
Yes, the kit is available. I've just ordered mine as was thinking of refurbing the calipers and changing the colour. Changed my mind though and keeping them original so will just swap the seals. The kit had to come from Germany. I ordered new pins and springs as well.

Hey Guys,
Here are the inner guts of the headlights that will get painted gloss black, thanks a bunch to Marcin and Conrad from Speedriven for taking these apart. Let me tell you this is not an easy process when doing it for the first time.
Thanks again for taking these bad boys apart for me guys. I will also be buffing out the lenses of the headlights to refresh them and make them nice and clear.

Your car is coming along nicely. Wish mine was black, I could do a lot more to refresh the appearance.

Don't have the invoice anymore (spoke too soon!) but not to worry, the parts are in the garage and have p/n on them. I'll take some photos for you later today and update this post.

I purchased these and they are on the way, since the car is going all black and the headlights are getting the inner housing painted black and not the lenses, figured these smoked signals for the mirrors would match up ok. I have to see once they get here and how they look a picture can only show so much and I have not found a W215 with these on it.

I will try to find wheel specs on my last wheels but for sure they were negative on the offset. No spacers ran and I shaved off about 5 mm of the hub of inner rear wheel to make the 5 inch lips work.
