And the new AC panel.
![](http://www.mbsca.com/images/s5531.jpg)
Added a new nice shiftknob in wood and chrome with AMG logo.
![](http://www.mbsca.com/images/s5533.jpg)
Added tis one..Think it is fun since AMG never produced these emblems.
Only original on the 6.3 AMG cars.
![](http://www.mbsca.com/images/s5534.jpg)
This is what the winter did to the old emblems...
![](http://www.mbsca.com/images/s5535.jpg)
So I replaced them all...
![](http://www.mbsca.com/images/s5536.jpg)
Including the hood star..Some difference ha?
![](http://www.mbsca.com/images/s5537.jpg)
I found a Original AMG car cover for it..RARE!!!
![](http://www.mbsca.com/images/s5538.jpg)
Got the new nice looking key for it..
![](http://www.mbsca.com/images/s5546.jpg)
Had to have a new grill as you can see..Before and after pics..
![](http://www.mbsca.com/images/s5547.jpg)
Added a AMG Sport wheel.
![](http://www.mbsca.com/images/s5548.jpg)
Found these Original MB make up mirrors in real wood..Matching the handles really well..
![](http://www.mbsca.com/images/s5539.jpg)
The new S55 facelift front arrives..
![](http://www.mbsca.com/images/s5540.jpg)
And here it is all in place inc twin foglights like on the new AMGs
and the new 20" wheels..
![](http://www.mbsca.com/images/s5541.jpg)
I will swap these wheels for the next season..
![](http://www.mbsca.com/images/s5542.jpg)
![](http://www.mbsca.com/images/s5543.jpg)
A night pic...They are not that blue in real life..
![](http://www.mbsca.com/images/s5544.jpg)
Here is the real color of the lights.
![](http://www.mbsca.com/images/s5545.jpg)
Also adde the clear glas sidemarkers since we dont have them over
here it makes th car a bit different..
So what you think ? ? If I only could fit that Comand NTG 2.5 as well and I would be very happy...

very nice!! im a little skeptical about the fog lights, but im definitely not feeling the amg logo on the lower mesh of the front bumper...looks cheesy to me..other than that, the car looks amazing and you did a nice job cleaning it up!
ps. i like how you got the new amg bumper and just forcefully closed the older pre-facelift hood on it haha, doesn't look that bad lol

I modified the old hood a bit so it fits fine and it looks really OK..But a new hood and grill is planed for the next season..

Very nice work Chris!!
I seen your posts before on BenzWorld, happy to see that you made progress on your project.
Why dont you put a Xenon/White light into your sidemarker instead of the orange?
