That's one excellent 212 man! I was really hoping as I was going through the pics that the side markers would vanish The wheels do look nice but there are so many amazing aftermarket wheel
choices! You certainly seem to know your way around a camera

such a wild animal
I'd do h73 and wrap the car in plastic for preservation.

The car will be listed for sale on the MB market page soon. PM me with any serious inquiries. I will be pursuing another one that isn't so rare and special to go full tilt on. I just cannot bring myself to modify this one of a kind car.

Another mod I noticed in the engine compartment, missing radiator top cover that has a few labels and snaps to the air intake ducts. Perhaps, it was removed for detailing, but then I see it missing in the final advert photos. How are the intake ducts held in place?

Correct, it was removed for the grill to be vinyl wrapped as I am not a fan of chrome. I was just taking photos during the detail process.

GLWS! Don't doubt the attention you are getting at all - I've see every one of the detail pictures on this car and it is staggering. I feel like all of us AMG wagon people enjoy the fact that, almost by default with the production numbers, each car has a little bit of their own story to it that only a small number of people would ever appreciate. Your car is a hell of a find and just super, super unique. I've passed it around to all my wagon-head friends and they all go crazy over it.

Had a lot of interest but no takers so have decided to keep the car for a while. Went ahead and removed the tint, added a new 55tech 2 tone flat/gloss black grill, ordered Redstar downpipes with the premium high flow cats and heat shield as well as Blackboost cold air intakes. I will do a TCU and ECU tune next.

car looks awesome very rare for sure and the Blackboost intakes will really help this sexy lady Breath, but will also make that engine bay look good.

That will be a good comparison, intakes will definitely will show a big improvement around 4k all the way to redline. please keep me posted and if any pictures or videos please share.

Been daily searching for black ash trim and finally found a set on ebay! I plan to have it polished and xpel wrapped before installing.

Only added a bit in stock form but these are proven to add quite a bit when you add downpipes and a tune. I am not sure if they add more on the road either because I actually noticed an improvement in power delivery driving the car. I also took advantage of the Eurocharged Black Friday sale and ordered a tune. Looking forward to getting it back on the dyno with downpipes and tune.
Black Ash trim should be done being wetsanded and polished soon as well.

The Eurocharged Canada tune is a massive improvement. I can actually hear the turbos now with the added boost and with the Black Boost intakes. Going back over to the dyno early next week. Then will go again with the downpipes and revised update with the datalogger I ordered. I really need the trans tune now because it's still torque limited in 1st and 2nd. Installed the black ash trim this evening and what a difference! Transformed the interior. I know the french style inner lights won't be for everyone but I really like them. The Osram CBB bulbs made a nice improvement as well. Will take better photos of the trim tomorrow.
Next will be the trans tune, wheels, front lip, rear roof spoiler and rear diffuser.
