My 4th AMG- W212 E63 with HRE's and a drop...
I know its not a W211 but this is where I live and mod so I figure I wont ban myself. I picked this W212 up a few weeks ago. Normally I mod a little faster but the HRE wheels took 2.5 weeks to get built. Im really enjoying this car and for a DD its an excellent choice. The wider front track with springs and chassis adjustments really do make this car a more formidable handler than my previous W211 E55. Speed is appreciative and with some LT headers and an ECU tune, I should be good to go. The Vorsteiner Aero kit is being made as I type and it should be on by next week.
More pics to come- these were a few impromptus that we took this past weekend after we put the wheels on at my buddies shop. Thanks to Auktane for the shots, I know he wasnt a big fan of the lighting. We took a ton and I should post a few more shortly.
Short mod list and thanks to the following:
Ed and crew at HMS in Orange County for:
HRE C97's 20x9 (et 29) and 20x10 (et 39) with 255x30 and 295x25 Nitto Invos.
Painted Calipers with Brembo Logos (no posing here, we got OEM Brembos)
Valentine V1 install
AMG flat badge
Guy Atherton, Domestic Sales Manager at HRE
Serge and John at Hyevon Motors in Orange County for:
Lowering springs in the front and links in the rear.

Very nice Vic, tastefully done.
My $ .02, so close to monochrome, what about painting the grill white?
Props to AUKTANE! the F-stop bomb.

Thanks man!!!!
I cant wait for the kit, it should enhance the lines- thanks!!
What up Oprah!!
Its a tough job but someone has to do it Jody!!
Thanks, Auktane has a good eye for this stuff. He just had me park the car and then played with the garage door controlling some of the light.
Yes, Arctic white to match the car. Thanks!!!!!
LOL Tom, 2.5 inches front and 3.5 inches in the rear--- not BMW lip but good to go.
Jim- I appreciate that!!!
Yes, stepped lip--- I wanted to go with not only form but some function since they are 20's... they weighed 22lbs front and rear!!!!!!!
Thanks sir... Im not sure about the grill---I was going to go black but with the chrome lines and accents along with the polished wheels lips; I might just leave it. 
Yes Auktane is a freak.

Awesome job. The 212 is transformed sitting lower, love it. I've struggled with 2 items on the 212. One being the rear end, and the other being the donk-ness of the wheel gaps which you just eliminated.
