Archtomato, very nice mod!!! Mind to share how much you spent and where to get it?

Thanks for the compliment.

Did the whole thing with KBS Motorsports  (MBM Wheelpower's sister company) including swapping out to an IWC analog clock and installation of Brabus piggy and Eisenmann Exhausts.

Brabus piggy? are you having C180 and get eco powerxtra B18.2? how was it? did it make a lot of difference?

I am using the PowerXtra B20.2. There is definitely an increase in power, but I was hoping the piggy will help with lower end torque delivery, but the delivery is very similar to the stock. Once the RPM goes up to just above 2K, then the power kicks (which can be felt). I didn't run it thru the dyno so I cant be really very sure what are the actual real-world gains. 

Still very new, so I will need more time to drive and feel.

Oh.. that's for C200. Do you know how to disassemble it (not sure whether we need to) when you send it for servicing or it actually doesn't matter?

Happy New Year to everyone .... I am planning for Phase 2 mods soon, wanted to get your opinions or recommendations:

1. AMG Lip Spoiler for W205 (body colour)

2. GFB DV+

3. Blindspot Assist

I am also toying with bringing the car down to 1.5 finger from the wheel, but im not keen on sacrificing ride comfort really. Is there any kits out there that can preserve comfort while lowered?

Anyone painted the AMG brake kits red for w205? Just wondering if the stock silver is better or red is better ..

Think will look gd in red if your rim is in dark color like black. 

If silver rim then dun really stand out like my previous ride.
