AMG SEMI-CHROME GRILLE.

The only way to go if you have AMG front fender in a black car because it looks much much better than the whole silver one.

Best Regards.

Thanks you Flave.

You also have a great car !!!!

I see that you are a fan of my hand made "do-it-yourself work/shoddy work".

Best Regards.

Appears to me as if the chrome finish will cause reflections in the windshield, disturbing the driver's view.

I don't think so; the reflection that you see it's because camera flash. SL55 and SLK55 have something very similar.

The 32 AMG badging is too much after my idea.

BTW, where did you get this exhaust? Never seen this model anywhere.

I don't understand this... What does it mean? (My english is not very good).

This is a custom made exhaust. It's made from the tips that are standard with chrome package. (I have the reference numbers if you want to buy them as spare parts).

Right now there are very few accesories for the W164. I wanted to get AMG mufflers but they answered me that they don't know when/if they would make them.

Best Regards.

When I say that it's too much, I mean that it's a little exagerated (no offense) for my taste.

Now for the exhaust, I was disappointed by AMG with only tail pipes. Don't know if it worths the money to buy an exhaust system from Brabus or Carlsson on a diesel car but the tail pipes sold by AMG look cheap.

I think that amg round tips don't look good with this squarish bumper.

No offense for the emblems and it's true it may seems exagerated, but I like it now that the car is very new. In future I probably debadge it.

Best Regards.
