The body is finished in Black (040) and features a full AMG-style body kit by CMS. The body kit was installed earlier this year and painted to match the car along with all lower cladding, grille, and chrome trim. The car is equipped with a sliding steel sunroof, headlight wipers, lower front fog lights, European headlights, and dual exhaust tips at the rear. A period-correct AMG badge is fitted to the trunk lid and all paint is reported to be in excellent condition with detailed photos in the gallery. 

Staggered OZ Aero III-style wheels were commissioned by CMS and fitted with new Sumitomo HZR tires which most closely match the tread design of the tires which would've been used in period when the car was new. The tires measure 245/45 up front and 275/40 in the rear. The wheels are paint-matched to the car and AMG is engraved on each face. H&R springs and Bilstein shocks were fitted with new self-leveling units in the rear. The SLS fluid and brake fluid were both flushed in June 2025. 

The seating surfaces are upholstered in Black leather (271) with a matching black dashboard, carpets, and doorcards. Burl wood trim accents the center console, shift knob, dashboard, and door panels. Amenities include central locking, automatic climate control, cruise control, dual front airbags, and AMG-labeled carpet floor mats and matching rear passenger footrests. Additionally, the front and rear bench seats are power-adjustable and heated. An Atiwe steering wheel is fitted and the door sills feature the premerger AMG logo. 

A leather-wrapped Atiwe steering wheel features the premerger AMG logo at the center and has been recently recovered. Custom white-faced gauge overlays made from metal show the premerger AMG logo on the speedometer. Readouts include a 160-mph speedometer and a 7k-rpm tachometer with an integrated analog clock along. Additional gauges display fuel level, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and instant economy. The six-digit mechanical odometer indicates approximately 44k original miles.
