I've been busy this morning adding a few touches to my car namely these...
AMG logo on start up of Command thanks to this from Whitenemesis:
Next up....
I replaced the button shifters with these flappy paddle like ones. Plastic and coated in red. They took about 5 minutes to install after a quick watch of this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTO0cu-EkA4
I quite like the feel of them and can see myself using them now. The buttons didn't do anything for me. They look like devils horns which is quite apt given the beast of a car that the CLS55 is. Aesthetically and for general use, I quite like this mod. They cost £90 quid from ebay and were very easy to fit.
I may change the color in the future to silver, but I wanted to see what they would look like as red because I may get the stitching of the interior done red with more alacantra in the future. Plus my calipers are red and again I like the devil horns look and fee!
Lastly...
These door pins which I bought about 2 years back from ebay for about 20 quid. I've only fitted the one to the drivers door just to see if I like them or not. I do, but not these particular ones as they are not a good fit and are cheap and nasty basically.
I'm a bit of a perfectionist and like things to look like they belong there so I'll be looking at some expensive door pins and the chrome 'washers' as they enhance the look and feel in my opinion.
This took 5 minutes to fit. I recommend using some kind of protection on the original door pin so as not to damage it. I cut an old sponge up and used that.
So 3 quick and easy interior mods/enhancements.
I've also ordered these from ebay:
I bought these cheap ones to see if I like them and see if they fit the look and feel of the car that I'm aiming for. If they do I'll get some genuine ones.
Anyway more to follow no doubt as I embark on a journey to make my car the best it can possibly be.
Thoughts, suggestions and any other ideas most welcome.

It took literally a few moments and the smile when I started it up and turned on Command seeing that AMG logo... simple things!
