pick a post 05 amg 63 model, be it sl clk or e, if you use the e63 amg then deffinatly just remove the bracket that comes with caliper, and refit it turned through 180 degrees. use a sander to remove 2mm of edge, this will be obvious when you fit the caliper and disk, and the disk rubs slightly on the bracket (if you use 203 brabus disks, others will be slightly different due to different thicknesses.)(mabe 800gbp)
buy some 203 brabus disks,get some flexis made up with banjo joint on caliper end. (350-450gbp) if you use 202 disks, you will need 3mm washers to space caliper correctly.
other disks that will fit are 210 and 129, but i dont know the exact spacing requirements as different models have slightly diffferent disk specs.
get 4 studs made up that screw into brembo bracket, then step down to 124 hub bolt size. (20gbp) or drill out the 124 hub to fit amg 63 bolts (**not advised due to weakening**)
buy pads(80 gbp redstuff-200 gbp merc stealer)
buy pad fittting kit(0 if you buy merc pads because the kit comes with them, 60gbp if you buy after market pads, totasl rip off)
1400 gbp, but worth every penny, check out the brembo gt kit for front, (using 202 or 203 kit)- 2300gbp.
fit all the parts mentioned and weeee away you go
the guy above seems to have had custom bells made up to fit a aftermarket disk, well done for inginuity, and mabe used clk calipers, wich seem to have different brackets that he has had to modify. i would love him to quote cost for center bell and bracket manufacture

I get the 'spirit' of this thread. You don't understand sarcasm or joking? 
I'm not talking about suggested list for these parts. I'm talking about Cost and the expensiveness of the parts still even after the discount and just letting other members know before they gain more interest.
Anyways, Why did you previously want 8-Pot vs 6-Pot?

bigger is better! lol, the 8 pots were the ones i was looking for, but could never find them, or as you say the ones that came up was too expensive, then i saw the 6 pots i have now and took the plunge so to speak, as usual, as soon as i did, up pops the eights i originally wanted, at a much lower price, with all the parts present!
