I'd like to get some monoblocks put on my TE (to look like this one)
Doubt if I'll find a body kit made for it
There's a set of 5 chromed ones in my area
like I had on my 190e 2.6
but their price is too rich for me. So I'll have to wait and see if they'll get lower over time,
since not many people want 17s anymore. 18s and 19s seem more common
It's all stock for now, except window tint.

Could go either way on the bumper strips as AMG would do whatever the client desired..
The Hammer WB in the AMG museum has body color impact strips...

Not biased a bit!
I am not repainting my impact strips to keep up with the Jones' plus I need all the contrast I can have so it doesn't look like a camry.
So start your trend, be all cool and chi but I ain't playin.
La Resistance vs Signal Red Cool Club

The combo of

Love the way you've shared the progress too, as we are all dripping with anticipation. But lets not stop the sharing there...
When can I borrow the keys!?

Agree with your grill choice, a solid red grill would be too much red
The headliht wipers woud also look good if they were painted red.

But I wouldn't paint the head light wipers.
Maybe cover them with CF film.
