Yes. They weren't installed at the factory for European Delivery and I pointed that out when inspecting the car. The delivery tech said they'd be installed by the VPC when the car arrives in the US. Same for the locking lug nuts.
You can probably order these after the fact and have the dealer insert them, or probably even do it yourself.

I contacted a local Xpel installer here in the Bay Area, and he stated he would cover the door inserts (concave area behind the door pulls) with Xpel Stealth (matte PPF) for $140. Might be a little pricey, but that's the cost of living in San Fran...will probably do it.
That's a good idea. I'm in the Bay Area too and here $140 is/was a nice dinner for 2. I'll have my detailer do it next time I take it in for the ceramic coat maintenance. I had them PPF the rockers and lower doors/quarters when I had it ceramic coated. Should of had them do it then.

Where are you? Am in Livermore, but the place I contacted is in Hayward. PM if you want more info.
Hey,
I have been lurking on this site forever, having owned a few AMG's now but have never got around to registering before. Your car and what you are wanting to do is pretty close to what I did so thought I would share. On my previous E63 I used wrap to black out the chrome, the finish was ok but I am quite fussy so on my current model I opted to paint, the finish with paint is perfect. I then opted for a carbon lip spoiler and diffuser, makes the rear look pretty aggressive in my opinion
@ShanksE63 who makes that rear diffuser? Looks a little more meaty than the stock one. Do you have any other pics of it? Thinking of getting one for my wagon. I like the brabus one just not the price!
Got my black badges, now need to vinyl wrap that chrome trunk trim and door handles. I was planning on doing the grill too but the satin aluminum finish grew on me and now I like it with the matt grey. I also decided for now to keep the spoiler the body color, as opposed to wrapping it too.
So gloss black on door handles and trunk trim. I decided to leave spoiler alone (the shadow makes it look like it’s black but it’s body color, which I think looks very good). I decided on a satin versus gloss black for the grill to tone down the shine factor and mesh better with the matt paint. Overall I’m happy with the results and car looks more sinister.

Where did you get the diffuser and the spoiler from? They look great!
