Not sure actually..Mine was fitted from factory. All I did was wrapping it in alcantara. I Think it is a big job depending on what is pre wired from factory.

That W221 looks Exquisite !!
I think this car is a collectors item now.

Just one question :
How did you achieve the blacked out doorposts and door-edges?
The contrast on that looks stunning!

The car looks amazing.

Where did you get those door sills from? And the AMG lighting logo in the doors is a cool touch among cool touches.

Sweet car. I wish I could do a few of these mods. Wife would have a fit if I did. Particularly the B&O upgrade would be my number 1 mod.

Wow Chris, you're a machine!

Where did you find your seat covers btw? My seats are in good condition but baggy in some areas. The whole heat gun treatment doesn't seem to tighten them up at all, any ideas?

Can you tell me the name of your alloys? I am looking for a nice 5 spoke alloy, but so hard to find one, and this one looks nice.
