Finally got it to work..

as said, we still have to get the side decals and wing emblems on, wheel alignment etc
So close to getting this finished now, and its been a very long process so far, not just bodywork but with all the mechanicals, sourcing parts, mechanicals and so on....

I properly love this, the work that has gone into it is top notch and it really deserves that often used moniker of ‘OEM+’ in that it looks like something MB could have done themselves - credit to you!

For me the finishing touch to tie in with the bulging arches would have been the Black Edition rear wing I think.

Its collection daybouncedriving

Been up since 3am due to the excitement, can't wait see this finally finished, only slight downside is that the decals have had to be postponed for 2 weeks due paint curing, as the ceramic clearcoat takes a little longer to cure than normal.

Thanks again for all the comments, I'll be back soon with some shiny pics

From what you have posted so far, it looks like you have pulled off the almost impossible: modify an already great car and make it better. Well done. I hope it drives as good as it looks (I guess we find out today).
