Latest Modification for my G55 AMG.

Hello,

It has been a while since I've updated you on my mod progress. I think this is my last modification.

Currently mods list:

AMG door pin in aluminium (Performance Studio)
H&R 30mm Spacers
Protective Layering oem kit
Protective windscreen clear film for the exterior.
HuperOptik 40 tints.

My latest modification is the AMG spare tyre cover, it replaces the previous all black one with the mercedes star logo.

The new piece is made out of steel and looks stunning, its hard to get and its made by HWA( Oem special order through performance studio) from what I've been told.

My car looks better now, I am happy with the outcome.

Bro!
Looks good all round.

How are the spacers btw? I've read in a few places that they are fine (H&R 30mm) and it makes the car look beefier; but I'm wondering if it has any implications on handling/performance? Anything noticeable?

BTW Mercedes-Benz UK sucks... Second time they are delaying a G wagon, now the 55 AMG... I hope it will not be 6 months late like the last one... Fools - you know anybody I can contact?

Best,
tem07

With the spacers it feels more stable, might be physiological knowing that its wider.

Thank you, glad you like it.

Sorry to hear about your delay, you should contact Mercedes themselves, I'll see what I can do to help you.

Yes, I love oem accessories as well. The new part looks identical to the factory colour matte grey though its steel, lets say 5-10% difference and you only notice it when you are really far from the car.
