Austria is on my list, could kill 2 birds with one stone if I crossed the boarder to visit you in Slovakia I'll look into flights tomorrow, my next trip to Europe will be in June, going to Denmark.

What i have already done is :

- C63 diffuser
- Brabus look front grill painted in body color
- LED tails - car looks a lot newer with them, love the mod.
- Wrapped the interiour in carbon fiber - replaced the cheap plastic look - i've posted a thread with pics before
- Painted all the chrome in black and painted the inner housing of headlights black - gives the car a smooth black look.
- 8000k xenons, LED parking lights and LED license plate lights, LED interiour

What it needs is 19" summer setup, nicely flushed with fenders and a drop. Hopefully will do this in a month.

Here are some crappy phone pics, will do some photoshoot when nicer wheels will be on.




hi there! great blacked out theme

how did you do your lights?? they have this rainbow effect through them?

is it a spray? tint?

Nope, the inner chrome housing of the headlights is painted black. Its just a bad pic, it doesn't have rainbow effect at all, since the glass is the same.

I think that rainbow is caused by the lighting and camera.

Absolutely, if I go I will do that for sure, I didn't know you were in Denmark, what city/town?

Vienna might be better because I'm not going to have a car, I might just see if I can find flights with a 8-12 hour layover, then I can see the city a bit, have a pint with you then continue on.

I'll know by the end of this week if I am going or not, 99% sure I am.

Im from Sweden, Malmoe, but Copenhangen is only 1 hour away, and even less if I take the train It's really easy to travel between Denmark and Sweden. It's just over a bridge that connects Malmoe to Copenhagen.

I should have looked at your profile, you clearly mention Sweden. Tell you what, if I make it up there I'll cross the bridge, I haven't been to Sweden yet, need to get that one off my list.

Thats true and I am very grateful for it. This will be a personal trip, family meeting up in Denmark to celebrate the birthday of a family member who has passed. The other trips through Europe in July and August are for business - nice break from the Middle East/North Africa!!!

Just sharing a new pic with 19" AMG reps and painted calipers. I had a set of michelin PS2 sitting in the garage, so i used them, but they are 235/35 and 265/35 and i did found out, that its really too high in the back and rubs over bumps. Going to change for 30's.
What do you guys think?

I lowered it just a little with PS, cause i didn't have time to install the K.A.W. springs yet. But this is how it would look like. They provide a real agressive drop, without the gap in front like H&R.
