Hey Whitey, I did a search as you said and came up with nothing. Am I missing something in the title ?

Nevermind, I found it. Here is the link. I commented early in the post and loved the 1/16's. Now that I see those Jap. wheels you posted, I like those too. Very tight! What kind of price tag to they hold???

Jimmy

I don't know exactly, but they're probably slightly more expensive , if not the same as my AMG's (only about US$400/pc, HK price of course). I'm sure the quality is not the like the Iforges or Auto Coultre (but then again, AC is Jap too). However, my friend got those on his A, when he bought it and they look like they'd been made with a bit of tender loving care. Hey, I thought you did that CL grill on the silver Brabus? That's pretty much flawless except the centre star is slightly off centre - it had MBZ12 or the Doc fooled

Alex, don't mention it. It comes with practice and lots of patience. If you can find me a black IF wheel (do they make black, isn't they're specialty polished?), I'll do one for you. I'll try to find similar one's in the meantime. Hey, I got very little sleep too.....

2002 CLK 55 AMG Coupe ;)
I owned many cars, including 4 BMWs in the 70s. My Hondas and Acuras were free of defects, but

the 208 CLK55 AMG Coupe is the best car ever produced since Karl Benz
patented the world's first motorcar in 1886, registered his patent DRP
37435, which is considered as the official birth certificate of the first motor
car!



Brand loyalty is an issue to some, myself not included.

Ha, I'm, a step ahead this time - as a matter of fact, they do! Its called "Gunmetal" and that BBS might just be an Iforged afterall - "Swift" (go to the iforged site's gallery, they have pics by brand and many MB's and BMW's). Check this Gunmetal Swift out (I'll put them on for u....want the girl too?):

not a bad job, well it comes down to this, i saw someone yesterday that did a full M5 conversion to his 525i, and it cost a grip but i'm thinking of later getting a 528i and fixing it up but for now we are going to go with the 2000 s500 and go with either the brabus or lorinser bodykit along with some i forged wheels or brabus replica's, don't know yet

check this out

Nice car - what body kit is that, Wald or some other Jap kit?

Dude, your PM is full so I can't respond to yours. I know what you mean, but remember I said you need to right click on the pic itself to select Properties so you can get the link? Openning up pic on your Cardomain site will not give you a link on the Address box on top.

Here, on my sig, right click the pic on mine, copy link on pic and fix it on yours.

i beileve its the vitta kit from japan, from what i've heard its not a good kit but looks nice, but too sporty looking for my pops, i think i'm gonna either do carlsson or brabus with the 20in brabus wheels, black out the front grill maybe, but i think i'm gonna get the big star, it should look nice, we'll see and thanks, i got the sig to work, i did what u said at cardomin and finally it worked

If that's not enough, how about some extra F1 side fenders?
