brake calipers
Does anyone know if it's possible to just replace the brake calipers with the AMG ones?

Or must we replace the whole assembly.

I don't know if its bothering anyone else, but the stock color of our brake calipers (faded black or grey) is really bothering me...

No, you cant. You have to replace the whole assembly. The 55 uses two piece 6-piston front and 4-piston rear. Yours is 4-piston front and 2 rear. The 55 brakes cost 3 times more expensive than the stock 350 brakes.
