Very nice build Sp33dy!
I want to ask about how you modified your discs to fit the AMG ones? You said you used the same brake disc that were from the coupe?
I am interested in doing the AMG brake swap on my E550, but the cost of brackets were very expensive. (too expensive)

I have bought EBC discs 345 mm in the front and 330 mm in the back but the brackets were custom made for the front(it was around 400 eur here in Europe). Also there were some adjustments to do for the back discs for the hand brake to work.
I suggest you talk with someone that knows very well mounting and changing braking systems. The cost for AMG brakes, discs, custom brackets and installing was around 2500 EUR for me. It was a very good price. The breaks were bought from ebay and came with brembo brake pads.

Seems like you had a good shop take care of you and you got a very good deal on ebay. I guess I will be on the lookout to see if anything comes up. I don't think anybody does any custom bracket / mounts here. Maybe when the USD - CDN conversion levels out I bit I will be able to afford this conversion easier.

So the winter is gone and so is my black color and other parts come in as follows:
1. Black series bonnet
2. Carbon mirrors (whole, not only covers)
3. Carbon spoiler
4. Arlon True Blood wrap
5. Active Sound Exhaust
6. Akrapovic Carbon Exhaust Tips
7. Modded headlights (black interior)
The car will be ready in almost one week from now. I will also lower it back and put the Vossens.
I am also considering Accuair management.

I invested too much in the bodykit from prior already. In my opinion it will look much more aggressive now than with the facelift. Ordered the black series bonnet yesterday.
We will not go with the akrapovic tips as they don't look good on my diffuser. Painted the amg ones in black to fit with the colour of the car.
The work on the headlights:
