A45 AMG Edition 1 center cap

In Japan Edition 1 did not come with this red ring center cap and cant buy it in Japan. I love doing things that others in Japan dont do so I looked all over for it and finally found one and arrived in Japan. Since Edition 1 has other places in red so I just needed this center cap with red to match. Hope that no one in Japan will do the same thing.

I will put it on this weekend and will post some pictures

I just put on red ring center cap!!

It looks much better with it because Edtion 1 has red color on other places also. It really matches the car.

Dont know why Japan did not get this center cap.

CLA45, Night Black on 19" Black wheels.
Question, the front of the A45 has some extra air flow components around the sides of the front bumper, are those something that can be added to the CLA45 or is the bumper unique to the A45?

Hiro, maybe you should have some red lug bolt covers like Matt (Olszowa12) has on his Estate. I think they would go great with your red ring center caps.

I bought red caps that go on top of the bolts.
Painting bolts is pointless because they will get scratched very fast.





Thanks

BTW I picked up my car from the shop today. My gearbox was leaking oil so I had the oil pan replaced (along with a new gasket and filter). After 5 years my gearbox oil pan was corroded like on a 30year-old Honda. Just ridiculous. I am planning on giving it to my delearship as a gift to show the quality of MB products. BTW a new OEM oil pan cost $80 so I can't imagine what it's made of...

Anyway, I also replaced the bearing under my top mounts because I heard clunking noises coming from the H&R coilovers on uneven roads. Each bearing cost $30. The noises are gone for now. We'll see for how long.

You have to take the wheel off and push it from the back.

It's easy when you take the wheel off.
