Not at all Alroumi.
I bought mine used from another member. If I bought them new, I would have probably went with Euroteck as well. I've bought stuff from them before and their service is great... besides they also sponsor this forum.

Do post pics when you get a chance. Love to see it. BTW, did you get the new DPE center caps? I just bought some. They look a lot better than the old ones.

Springs are ordered, but will take 4 weeks. I'll post pix when the're on the car is "ready".
I like both center caps - like the simple ones with the carbon look - matches the carbon inside and the carbon AMG license plate holder I got

OK DSB here's some pictures. I apologize for the blatant copying of your beauty, but heh ... better a good copy than a bad original...

Still needs to be cleaned but CA weather is not what it used to be

Install done by Sleek Motoring in Mountain View. Very detail oriented, excellent work! Can recommend to anyone in the bay area.

That looks great bro! Shoot, you're so close maybe we can meet and do a photoshoot. Now, just get that antenna swapped out. Look here: http://www.slkworld.com/general-modi...0-antenna.html

What interior do you have?

Beautiful, I can't wait to have my done. How much did it cost you. I went to a local shop in Daly City, CA they are asking $545 just for the Brabus springs. They actually do a good job, but, they tend to overcharge. Had all my cars lowered at this shop, including some body kits installed on my other cars.

Order the springs from the same place firstslk55 brought it from, and get it installed at the same shop he did. You will not be dissappointed.

I thought I only copied DSB's setup ...

Anyway, agree (of course) that these changes really finish the car.

I too have a similar setup just a different brand of wheels but pretty much the same exact style. We all should get together and do a shoot sometime!
