AMG R63 MY2012
R63 model year 2012
I open a new thread to show you all the modifications I made to my 2007 R63.
Remember that I don't speak and write english very well ...

I owned others 3 mercedes R before this ( 320 CDI, 350 4matic, 500 ).
I love this model, but Amg stopped the production in 2007. I wanted a R63 model 2012 so I bought a 2007 full option and I started modifications ..
The result is here ... in the photos you see ..
I'm italian and live near Venice in the north of Italy.

Again, great work on the upgrade to 2012! Your R63 looks brand new and like it came from the factory that way. And I wish my Italian was as good your English . . .

Kind regards

Very nice 2012 updated. I like it a lot. It is a silver wolf in sheep's clothing. I wish my car can transplant an r63's heart on it... I am soooooo jealous your engine sound & performance.

claimweb,

can you provide more insight on the parts you used for this conversion along with any custom wiring that was needed. obviously we narrowed it down:

Hood
headlights
fenders
bumpers
tailights

Im speculating:
Radiator support
headlight harness
foglight harness

any info would be appreciated.

The list ......
Only exterior .... front and rear.
It's in italian language but I suppose the codes are the same .
Then you need some modifications to the light cables .. Your dealer can do it .
