Your car's stance is spot on from my point of view. Just the right gap above the wheels and spaced correctly. You still have 15mm spacers on the front?

I ended up changing the fronts to 20mm... they look perfect now. 15mm looked tucked in.

Part numbers will be fine! It might be useful if you get chance to get a photo of your hub with the wheel off especially with the 10mm spacer.Have you chosen the wheels yet?
@Michael - Looks great! Not long now!
I'm expecting a decision from Mercedes today about my rattling driver's seat. It will be 3 weeks on Monday without the car. Quite annoying.

Nice 
Update on mine - No news really. Mercedes Germany have apparently been discussing the problem with the dealer but still no decision. As far as I can tell nothing happened at all with the car last week. I want to keep the car but I don't want it with the rattle nor do I want it back with the trim dislodged unless the intention is to replace the seat. Stupid minor problem causing all this trouble, wish I could just put up with the noise but I tried and couldn't.
@Michael - Enjoy it mate!

Here are some photos of new car
Well here it is after a week away being detailed and fully xpel PPF fitted looks lovely. And wow the drive back from London to Margate was a joy with that sound of the V8 burbling away. 
The ride is a lot firmer in comfort than it was in the 640d but can put up with that, the car feels like it always wants to go and had to keep raining it in to stop myself booting it. Kept it under the 4500 rpm and 85mph just stuck it on cruse at 70mph on M25. But imprest with the car so far I let the wife have a drive Sunday she liked it not sure she would be temped to change over to MB from her BMW 435i coupe when the time comes to get a new one. So the cars done a total of 156 miles now it had 26 miles when I picked it up only another 844 miles to do

Update on my "minor" rattle problem.
Still no car, still no decision from Mercedes and it will be 4 weeks this weekend. Ridiculous now, they should just authorize the seat replacement and hope it fixes it. Tired of waiting, on the verge of demanding a buy back with the original dealer. /end of rant

My issues (shared here on the forums) and experience with MBUSA has been horrible. They have been useless. I'm luck in that my local dealer has been great helping drive resolution and my satisfaction. I'd say at this point your local dealer is your best chance at resolution. Very sad.

I've had a response today - they want me to try another coupe (which they are currently trying to source) with the same performance seat so that I can make sure it isn't a fault common to both cars.... In other words they think I may be being overly sensitive to a noise which might not go away if they replace the seat. Thing is - the passenger seat doesn't have the problem and the AMG experience car didn't have the problem nor any other rattle or creak despite it being well used and abused.
I suppose I can *just* see their point and given that I've waited this long I may as well give this a go.
If this ends up with a buy back I really can't imagine starting the process again with another C63 and the problem is so -relatively- minor it would seem a real shame.
Thanks to all of you for the support and comments!

Still no further with my seat creaking problem. I have had some contact with both the dealer and Mercedes Customer services, they seem to be saying that their intention is to try to find a car with the same seat so that I can make sure it is OK and then swap it out to mine leaving that car to wait for a new factory seat. If they can't find one (and they haven't so far) then I have no idea what they will suggest, there is a very long wait time for the factory order seat, months. A refund seems to be gradually becoming my only option.
