Driving impression,
The car feels the same because the springs arent stiffer or I might be driving on very comfy roads, however the stance is 95% correct...I didnt think that lowering will get the job done I now love how my car looks with the painted headlights and the lowering.
I am just waiting for brabus to reply to the email I've sent them for their steering wheel which looks much better than the thin AMG one I've got.
Next up are the Door pins with AMG logo, nice / simple tasteful mods to complete the car and brabus 1mm spacers for the rear.
As stated :
What I want,
Alacantra headliner
Thicker steering wheel
Carbon fiber rear diffusser

I changed my mind because they are heavier than oem, now with the lowering the car looks fantastic.

Update:
Brabus isnt willing to make me an all leather steering wheel with red stitching, they say if the car was in germany they would make it possible and wont ship a bespoke'd steering wheel to me.
Anyways now to the good news,
Spacers 10mm not 1mm sorry for the mistake, the spacers are brabus and are modified in Kuwait in order for them to fit my 18x8.5 oem rims...I am happy, we are going to perfect the stance and 2 weeks later goes in the AMG doorpins.

I really dont know but I got the name of the red hue on the seats its accent red. Since brabus is located in germany, I am pretty much sure they can lookout for the exact same red hue for the stitching.

Thank you guys, cant wait for next week...I went down to the garage just glancing at the car I've really made the car better looking and sportier.
Tastefully done is what I can say, nothing too obvious only for the pro's...looks completely stock until I get it going.

Thank you, will look even better with the rear brabus 10mm spacers next week...will give it one hell of a stance.
