Everything went just swimmingly today accept for the hood - the OEM hood grill doesn't fit into to carbon hood flush at all, after lots of grinding and adjusting they've almost got it, a few hours on it tomorrow and it'll be disco.
They are going to try to clean the hell out of the interior tomorrow so I can take it for the weekend for a good shakedown then bring it back in on Sunday to go for the full interior detailing.
Pictures tomorrow fellas.

Just so you know... you are responsible for my re-opening my mod-fund again....... the seal is broken with the Voistener spoiler.... all your fault pal.

For a lot less actually. Two reasons for buying the 500 though;
1. I can't take a BS back to Canada when I (one day) move back, they are not registerable there (although the new C BS is
)
2. I wanted a project car, to do something out of nothing, to get the mod bug out of my system and build a car that combines all my automotive passions.

I'm really happy with everything I've had done (body/paint wise, I'll list it all with the pics later), still not sure about the hood yet though, paint or not... Might have to get a poll going.

Okay, first things first. The audio system is up and running but the installation is incomplete and a lot of what is done needs to be fixed and re-done.
Secondly, the interior is filthy and the audio clown broke tons of interior parts; clips, vents, seatbelt guides, controls and more. Lot's of work ahead of me there too.
But, the body work and paint is now all complete and I have the car at home, I forgot what a blast it is to drive
Here's what was done;
1. Roof painted black (was vinyl)
2. Front airdam painted black (was vinyl)
3. Front carbon fiber lip removed, sanded and re-cleared with 6600
4. New carbon fiber hood, sanded down and re-cleared in 6600
5. Vorsteiner spoiler removed, sanded and re-cleared in 6600
6. Custom functional side vents made of carbon fiber and moulded into the bumper
7. Entire car wet sanded and re-polished
8. Front bumper cover removed, repaired and repainted
9. Front bumper grills removed and re-painted
10. New style KLEEMANN letter on trunk lid
11. KLEEMANN logos on fenders
12. New HID projector fogs
13. Headlights restored
14. New black and silver Mercedes hood emblem
Hopefully I'll be starting the next project in a few months, until then...

Very slick looking car

I really like the Kleeman badge on the trunk. Usually the Kleeman badges are pretty huge but this one is perfect in size, sexy!!
The car looks great.
