Hi Everyone,

First of all I would like to thank you all for all the information you guys share on this forum. I am new here and I just bought my first Mercedes. I was driving different Audis A6 for the last 5 years and finally decided to get something else. I always liked the way C63 looks and sounds so I started doing me research. When I discovered MBWorld forum I finally found all the answers and decision was made!

2012 C63 Coupe, Tenorite Grey is the vehicle I picked up a bit less than a month ago. I wanted to get myself P31 but unfortunately no vehicle was available right away and I had to wait for almost 2 months. I got so pumped reading about it so to wait was not an option . I don't regret though as my car is so amazing. I also test drove P31 and the difference is almost not noticeable. Plus as far as I understand you can tune this bist up big time.

Anyways, in regards to tuning up I have big plans but I think it will take some time so step by step for now. Bellow are pictures of my little monster. I did minor things so far: changed tires to Hankook R-S3 as they have more grip, tinted all around including windshield(50), tinted headlights, tinted rear lights (tint on white part of rear lights is cut out), tinted yellow parking signals.

Looks good mate and the tail light tint is subtle.

That is one badass ride, and that color, oh yeah.

Tenorite grey? is that new color. Can you show a closer picture of the tinted parking signals? I'm thinking of doing that too.

Steel Grey? Looks nice, does the car justice that color. Enjoy in great health!

Great car!

Where did you go to do the tinting?

NovA_S

Thank you all for welcoming words.

izzyAMG,
as far as I know Tenorite Grey came out a couple of years ago. I am in Canada and in US I think it's called Steel Grey or it's very similar colores. I will take close pictures of parking signals for you and wil post them later on today.

Nice car, love the way u tinted the heads & tails slightly.. I'm not a fan of super dark heads & tails, but urs are perfect!

discoduck

Wow that's an awesome colour! Congrats!

The lightly tinted tails and headlights is a nice touch too

These pictures where taken on the sun so tint looks much lighter than in reality. I tried to match the color of the car but due to orange plastic it came out dark brownish. Basically when it's in the sun it's dark brown and at no sun conditions dark dark grey.

Great color! Not available in the US order guide for 2012.

Enjoy your new car, the color looks great. I don't like the tinted tails but it's your choice.

njoy!

Thanks for the honest opinion!
I personally love nacked tails on white cars. I think lightly tinted tail lights look good only on dark grey and black cars. Here is a picture of tail lights in the sun taken by my phone.

Great way to celebrate Easter! Haha.

Love the way the new coupes look.

On a side note, what crappy tire is that?

ZorroAMG

Looks great, congrats!

I would do a light smoke on the clear part of the tails and paint the markers. Tinted orange turns to such a terrible color that doesn't work with any other color on the car.

Hankook R-S3 Google them. They are actually not that bad at all. The only downside is that they burne a bit faster than bigger brands. I could get some fancy Michelin (don't remember the model) for the same money but they don't look as good and there is so much more grip on these once. I met some guys racing on tracks all the time and they recommended R-S3 for the track days too. So check them out.

P.S. On this car no tires will last long. Specially the way I drive!!!

I agree about tinted orange is not the best colour. But to be honest yellow orange that stands out on each side of your car makes it look so stupid. To me it's a cheap element on a nice car.

Below are pictures of my tinted and a picture of the regular orange light. Unfortunately I couldn't find pics of the same car as mine but my car is darker so the light stands out even more.

P.S. Honestly, I'm still debating myself. I'm planning to paint my callipers in orange so maybe without tint it will match my brakes.

Please everyone give me your opinion on tinted parking lights, thanks.

Shiiittt, I suppose not everyone calls Canadian Tire - Crappy Tire.
I was just asking which location that Canadian Tire was. It looks familiar; but then again, ALL do...

But good to know otherwise. Have to consider new tires in a few street lights
