I'm looking to upgrade the audio on my 2012 E250 that has an Audio 50 APS fitted. I just really want a bit more base. I was thinking that it would initially be good to upgrade with an amp so I had a look on fleabay and noticed that there are several Harmon Becker Stereo amps up for sale that...

I've been considering doing a brake upgrade on the wagon when I get it on Saturday. Looking at the k-sport 6 pot which is a good deal but I feel it would look out of place on the car. Is there any AMG kit apart from the C63 which is a direct bolt on? Or what's easier done than others.
