It reminds me of the black and gold John Player Special formula cars.

Palladium works well too. - which is my setup. Don't forget the forged wheels.

I ordered the forged wheels on original build (see other thread "bad news from sales rep" that I started a month ago for sad pictures of black car with forged wheels and CCB brakes...) , but I finally went with black wheels bacause i find they contrast better with the orange calipers... but I also like the more "traditional" AMG look with the forged...

Yes, the black wheels will look great against the calipers. I don't think I've seen that combo yet.

Real sorry to hear about your last car. I'm looking forward to seeing pictures of the new one.

Just got VIN today! But weird thing is the system shows car still in production... weird! It may be a question of hours before it switches to "vehicule produced» status.
