Planned mods:

GPS added to CarPC

Projector fogs (black ones available on eBay)

Renntech replica spoiler OR small molded touring wing (similar to CLK DTM)

Sub-enclosure in the hatch
Kleemann headers (when my cat finally needs replacement)
Ebitach sway bars (when the bushings need replacement on the current sway bars)
AMG brakes (when I finally decide to buy a winter car, 400+cm of snow this year has me considering it for next year)
