It looks awesome! The fitment on prior design stuff is supposed to be really good as well, can't wait till you take the plunge! It's pricey stuff though, expect to pay north of $5k without paint/install.

I did my exterior mods in autumn 2010 and since then i was tempted to change it for many times, so are you now.Your exterior is great now but if you like Prior i think the one for you is PD 850 BE WB.Right now your car is very sport looking for an AMG style and i think PD 850 is more sportier then PD 550.

Hmm, when I talked to their rep he sent me the following.

"The pricing of the kit is as follows;

$1699 front bumper
$1699 rear bumper
$899 side skirts
$699 rear add on spoiler
$699 roof spoiler

You can purchase each piece individually. Shipping to most locations in the US is $165."

That kit looks really nice. As the famous slogan of a major company goes, "Just do it!"

Caker, are these the price of the 550 or the 850 version?

so a little update of my car : changed to Bilstein PSS10, handling is much more better and steering is more stable compared to my previous H&R Spring set up




I just ordered the Vossen 20" CV3 in Matte Graphite 20x8.5J ET44 & 20x10J ET 45. The wheels are HUGE when compared to my current 19" AMG Wheels and have very deep concave. I had to test fit the wheel to make sure the brake clearance. Like Kojan stated before the front wheel only has less than 1mm gap between the brake caplier so the shop suggested to put a 12mm spacer in the front. The tyres I'm going to use will be Michelin PSS with 245/30/20 & 285/25/20 and the wheels will sit flush. Will upload some pictures when I have the wheels installed on my car.

Very nice choice, AZN~ I am sure that the wheels are 1 inch larger than your previous AMG wheel but the weight is about the same if you include the tire so when you drive it won't feel laggy
My 2012 Black E500 Coupe-img_4301_zpscc11f623.jpg

And yes as I mentioned before the space between the caliper and the inner side of the wheel but as long as it is stable then do not need to worry about it, unless you didn't do the alignment properly then the wheel and the caliper will bump when you do the turn. Yes the spacers will help if you still worry about it however I didn't put spacers after all, little bit risky but I found another way to solve this problem, is to change to bigger rotor, the original AMG brake system (fits the C63 AMG version) I assume it comes with 360mm for the front and 330mm for the rear. if you increase the size of the rotor for the front brake to 380mm or 390mm then the caliper will naturally move little further form the center of the wheel. Therefore you will create much more space and do not worry about bumping ^^

But this solution is only because I had my Vossen CV3 wheel that has concave style, and came up with this idea because it will be much better quality and safety consideration compare to adding spacers, this is just my opinion~

Kojan can you post a close up picture of the gap after changing to a bigger rotor ? Thanks.

Are you getting any errors like the guys who put on the KW's? They are permanently in sport mode at a lower stance.
