Fitted the wheels and headlights. Notice that the DRLs is NOT corect. Just temp to try out the headlights functioning corectly. It will of course be the facelift S65 AMG kit as soon as I get it. Lowered it in photoshop since the lowering links are not installed yet.

All the damn seatbelts where also in grey so I found them ALL in black on ebay...Great deal...
And on monday I leave the car to the paintshop...Full new nice paint on it to remove all scratches and so the AMG kit matches perfectly.

yea let me know if your on 295/25 or 295/30. i have staggered 22's 10.5 in back and didnt want wheel rub. also i would prefer to put 30 instead of 25 to avoid bending my rims.
besides the wheels where did you purchase your tail lights and side mirros, i cant seem to find any. i guess headlights too. lol.

I guess 295/25-22 would be the best choice for 10.5". I have rolled my fenders, but still have some rub now and then. 295/30 is to high in my opinion.

Chris may i ask where you sourced the 65 Tips ? Which are my favourite.
Are you going to modify your rear bumper or change it to a AMG one to accommodate the Tips ?
I would like to get a set for the S-Class. These "LEXUS" Square Tips Mercedes are putting on there cars are terrible.

Now you are actually done with the fitting of the cable kit. Just install the lights now to the conectors and car and start programing the ECU units with Star Diagonose Developer Mode! This is of course even better ilustrated and described in the install manual...
