Holy crap, someone else from the UK, and in London too!

Check out my VIP-style Kei Mira.

It's lower at the front now, and rocks JDM size import plates, and all-red rear lenses. Just waiting on blue tint for the windows, and my fusa and curtains to show up. Next after that is a full interior retrim in oxblood leather, and I'm currently making an interior table for it.

 welcome home. Another W210 owner. I love what you have done to your car. Black E class layd out on those wheels, debadged, etc, etc, etc. I  love it. As for your hunt for the AMG  kit is it that you just can't find it in UK or what's the deal? Not to rub salt in a wound, but AMG kits here are a dime a dozen - just a trip down to the local stealership or junkyard if you arn't the patient type. I'll check around for some deals on this side of the water for you. NICE RIDE and WELCOME!!!

Cool, yeah man you're welcome - right back at you - thank you for the compliments as well. 
Finding the ///AMG kit for a 00+ W210 isn't the issue over here, it's the cost involved, at least for ME that eas the issue. I don't know what kind of $$$ you have to throw at it, but last time I checked each bumper alone is like $1200 or something. Best route to go is to find one at a dismantler, but again, that's a tough find. Best of luck, let me know if I can help at all.

Nice E-class.  My friend bought one back in 98 and slammed it on 18" MAE wheels and I thought he was God then.  

Yours look better! :D
