Thank you all

Some of you have commented that my car look strange and that my wheels are to big/don't fit to well because of the SWB. I have checked and the difference between SWB and LWB is 13cm/5.1 inches. So it's not _that_ much difference

On picture its difficult to estimate how big the car is in reality,untill you park it next to a Smart car..

Lowered with Star Yes, the mud flaps helps a lot. Very useful at wintertime here in Norway with all roads covered with salt.

That roof looks amazing! If I didn't have the pano, I'm still not sure if I like it, I would do it!

As for 20s on the Benz, I have them.. love the increased handling characteristics, but can't stand the road noise. My last one had 19s and it was soooo much more quiet with a smoother ride. Yeah.. I'm nit-picking on the car (my car), but I just can't stand extraneous noise when it's not wanted. The ride is way rougher too with the 20s over the 19s.

Thank you percykwong

I agree with you on the road noise. It's annoing when I start using the 22s in the spring, but I get used to the noice after a while.

Mounted the new exhaust. The pipes are a little bit to far out from the car because of the different shape of the stealth bumper.

My plan is to buy a AMG bodykit, but it's not so easy to get hold of here in Norway so I started with the exhaust. I will also debadge the trunk, i think it looks a bit messy now.

Thank you for the information Chris. As you know I tried to buy a AMG body kit earlier this winter, but with no luck (so far) A AMG bumper will solve the problem.

The German guys do send to Norway I think.

And the price is quite reasonable, considering it is PU not fibreglass.

Nice car by the way.

By the way the S65 side skirts only fit LWB models.

For our SWB cars, we need either the skirts from the genuine AMG Styling pack which look the same (?) as the S63/S65 here http://www.cksperformance.com/index....ducts_id=20277, or something from Asia such as this - http://www.jcsportline.net/en/product-detail-2578.html which they do in both LWB and SWB versions, according to them.
