Wow finally received my C63

Wow what a car. Collected my car today at 3pm. Had an under car inspection and then took it for a wild spin. Check the speedo!! What an awesome car.

Well, regardless of the fake speedo, thanks for the undercarriage pics. Never seen the c63's before and I must say it looks clean!

It is my pleasure. There was absolutely no photoshop work. It was electronically controlled by the computer. They dialed it up to show me how it looks

The service department controlled the display with their diagnostic equipment.

Thanks Marty, it is such a lovely car. My son certainly had great fun with it even when I kept asking him the drive around the block numerous times so the I could take a photo of the moving car. It was fun doing it.
Yes I will definitely tint it. I have also asked them to give me a qoute on a carbon fibre wing mirrors too

Hope your 48 hours come quick enough. It was a special moment for me

Nice car.. Love the white coupe with black wheels! Congrats!!

On a side note, is it bad to let the dealership red line the car before break-in period?

Congrats on the car. Looks fantastic - but then I would say that, wouldn't I?! Show us some pics if you go ahead with the CF mirrors please!

Out of curiosity Perry, is yours running Yokohama Advans? I was surprised to find Yokos on mine - unusual choice for a German car. Dealer told me Merc has recently switched sources due to complaints of abysmal rear tread life on C63's with previous OEM tyres ( Contis? Pirellis?)

Hi Roswell,

We did not drive the car to the redline, I would be n=mad to do that .

It was done with their diagnostic computer tool. He conneted the car system to his computer and then just dialed it to the maximum speed. I had one at 310km

Hi Nick,

I will show you the pics if I convert to Carbon fibre. Does anyone know how it is to get mercedes Carbon fibre wing mirrors. I think the entire kit, mirros and dash was about 6k.

I was surprise to see that my tyres were Continental as Pickles tyres were Yoko judging by his photos

Hi Pickles,

I had a photo at 310km too. I am in Melb quite a bit too. Maybe we could catch up one day when I am there. You have my email address, email for details if you are keen

Awesome undercarriage pic. I'll make sure to inspect that when I pick up mine.

What lens and cam were you using, btw?

I hope they they take the trouble to do that for you. The proprietor of the business encourage me to look at the undercarriage. His mechanic highlighted the fact at the flatness of the undercarriage. It is definitely very well constructed.

I took the picture with Canon 1dsmklll and the new canon zoom fisheye 8-15mm f4 lens. I was flat on my back at the workshop to capture that image and all times hoping the car would not fall on me.
