First 2 bits of aero kit installed, front lip and side skirts. Also swapped out the front grille from chrome to gloss black.
Car is on winter 18's, lowering springs with wheel spacers.
I did buy the rear aero in a 3pc kit but just as i arrived back home they called me to say the factory just released a 1pc rear aero kit. Ordered that and will wait for it to arrive (3-4 months from Germany) and see if that fits. It's all designed for the sedan which seems to have the same dimensions where it counts as the wagon, so i expect it to fit. If it does I'll return the 3pc and call it a win. They also ordered me a rear spoiler that goes on top of the hatch. The AMG comes with a small lip spoiler from factory that I'll have to remove to fit the aftermarket one, shouldn't be an issue.
Plans for next year is;
-Dyno tune to smoothe out the torque hit
-Rear aero install + spoiler
-Full wrap (i've decided on the colour, i plan to surprise you guys tho)
-New wheels in a colour to match the new wrap
And that will complete the build.
Observations on first time driving a lowered car with an aero kit; Thankfully it still sits high enough that almost all speed bumps and inclines i encountered are not a problem except getting in and out of my own garage
. So i now get to practice daily on attacking inclines at an angle. C'est la vie. I also have to consciously step further out of the car or when i try to take a step or the heel of my foot gets caught on the side skirts.
