My new 'Black' AMG Monoblocks

Just purchased these online

Genuine 17" AMG Monoblock 1's

I was so excited that I pasted a picture of some on my car

Real pics to follow when I actually get them

Thanks fellas

I've been on the look out for 18" Aero II Monoblocks but I couldn't pass on the opportunity to grab these which are far more unique in my part of the woods

Got them!

OK, some pics
Had to get new tires on them too, they had 225/45 (too small) so I bought 2x Bridgestone Potenza Grid3's (near new) and 2x brand new Hankook Ventus HRII's, 235/45 all-round
I have also brought the front and rear bumpers from a 2nd gen euro 126, I'll paint and fit the rear tomorrow but I am not sure if I should remove my current 1st gen euro bumper which has my home made spoiler attached

RE: My new 'Black' AMG Monoblocks

Uh oh, my car looks best in low light and from afar, nice in photos but pretty nasty in person, I'd be too ashamed to let a pro near it
Too many bits that don't quite fit like they should and too many dings on it

I'm flattered though

It's a shame I'm working tomorrow, it would be nice to have met you
Such short notice, this arvo (sat) would have been good, I'm cruzin round all day with my new rims

Keep my number and let me know if your ever in town with a bit of free time, in fact thats for you too NZBenz

Re: My new 'Black' AMG Monoblocks

You'll be very surprised how crappy some of the cars I have had to shoot for magazines that look a million dollars in print he he he.

I'll be down lots. In fact I'm moving down next year!!

Haha, aint that the truth about the paint, nothing a bit of wax won't fix, mines got a few nasty bits too. I'll be up in Chch beginning of Nov but I'm just passing through, if I end up staying longer I'll look you up, but if you see a silver W140 with a skinny white guy driving it give me a wave, my plates DBE something or rather...

Fitted the rear gen-2 euro bumper and side skirts, looks much better proportioned to me
You may not be able to tell the difference from the pic, but to me it's nicely noticable
