To keep the carbon theme going throughout the car, I added some carbon vinyl to the trimming...its really subtle but and looks great in reality!

Honeymoon over! Made some progress with this now...

Managed to get the brake conversion done! Final conversion consisted of;

Mercedes C63 2010 AMG calipers

Full Merc fitting kit (all bolts brakets etc etc)

Mercedes AMG pads

VW Phaeton 360mm x 34mm discs

Custom braided brake lines

DOT5.1 brake fluid

First up was to drill the discs out for the 4 x 108 fitment....a BIG thanks to Steve B for helping out and letting me know what to do here!

Then the hub had to be ground back a little to accomadate the different offset of the discs

Then it was time to play about with adapters/methods of getting the discs to fit in the middle of the caliper which was the biggest problem! But the head scratching and thinking paid off...

And then the standard brake lines wouldnt work with this caliper so I built some custom items

As you can clearly see there is no rubber on them to allow a secure fitment onto the shock, so I used the original ones off the original brake lines
