Everything is great except for the wheels. I dont mean to be awheels snob, either. This is simply a case where the wheels look as cheap as they cost, if not cheaper. The stock AMG's are 1000x better looking and classier than those $800 ebay specials. If you're on a budget, any of the Carlsson or Brabus knockoffs would be much more appropriate on an otherwise killer W210.

........your comment is appreciated. I love those wheels. I spent 3wks looking for thenm in hyperblack/silver after I discovered that the AMG/mercedes center caps do will not fit the center hole. I then had a machoine shop make a custom AMG center cap to fit the hole. The idea is to have a unique set of wheel and center cap combination that does not exits anywhere else. AMG rims are nice, but I could not figure out a way to make them unique. I did not want a brabus or carlson wheel on the car because I did not want to mix tuners at least not visually. This is why I did not use a nice Brabus shift knob that i found.
I think the wheels would look even better if the car was lowered a bit more

Absolutely HAWT! 
With that 3:06, is there ever a time when you don't chip the tires coming off a light?
Did you add the chrome rings around the instrument cluster? Also, where'd you have the steering wheel done....I like that a lot!

Then, if the budget allows, get a set of smaller diameter wheels for the DRs and swap them when racing.
You could then lower the car all the time (couldn't you?).

..........Yes I added the chrome rings around the instrument cluster.
..........With the 3.06 diff, I don't even drive the car in summer mode anymore on the street because it takes off too fast and spins the tires even when I had BFG drag radials. Car still spins tires in winter mode, so I have to be careful.
