The Eagle Has Landed! (2012 C63)
Just got back from a trip to find out It's been sitting there just waiting for me to take delivery!
I would have flew back a week early if I knew!
Doing the PDI now and I pick it up Saturday!
Went there today just to see it.
Enjoy the pics!

I picked up my bride in my C63 after she was done getting made up. We have some cool video footage of us decked out in wedding attire getting in the AMG and driving away to the ceremony.

Congrats on the car, love the colour.
I notice there is a slight change on the front section of the intake.
Middle now has a raised centre section (V shape), wonder if this improves
airflow?

That part looks like it has nothing to do with air intake....
Looks softer from the front and 18" wheels compared to 1st generation. Congrats, let's see some more pics in better conditions.

I can't recall exactly what the pre-2012's look like in that front air scoop section, but I think the newer one pictured here has a more pronounced separation between the two intake ramps. If so, it could collect/feed air into the intake tube openings a little more efficiently.

It does. Like Sonny said the pronounced centre section could improve airflow
compared to the older flat style. Because of the raised centre it could flow air smoother to the 2 intake vents. The old one was flat and could probably cause a bit of turbulence.

Congrats on the first 2012 p31 on MBW
Enjoy your new beast, remember to follow the break in procedure
The new front end looks SL-ish.
Couldn't you have ordered the multiple-spoke rims in Canada?
If you're going aftermarket then who cares.
She's a beaut enjoy!
I wonder if that front air housing would be a simple swap in piece for pre-2012s? Defintely a better design

I have no clue... Maybe this picture will help....
I'll take better pics on Saturday when I pick it up. It's supposed to be a really nice day.
