c63edition1

i glimpsed a wide red car with a massive spoiler at the dealership on my way to the gym .. i knew what it was without having to think twice :P .. it was indeed a red BS with aero kit .. i didnt know bucket seats were not standard on this .. the regular coupe seats are not enough for a car like this.. nonetheless, if any of you in the area would like to check it out .. its at the bethesda euromotors showroom ... for 118k

now, onto my topic .. i tried to replicate the steering wheel in the BS on my car, suede with red stitching .. while the guys at DCTMS did a solid job, i would prefer buying an oem steering wheel .. anyone have any idea how i can do that ?

heres my steering wheel.

Should be easy to look up the part number on Mercedes EPC.
Do you have a vin# on a BS to go with?

For the best price on OEM Parts I found these guys to be amazing and they take phone calls (unlike some other internet vendors).

Expect to pay well into the range of 1.1-1.5K for that wheel.

Can you post contact info for who did your wheel?
I'd like to get the seudo suede replaced on my wheel.

c63edition1

r u interested in taking the wheel off of my hands if i find a BS wheel ?? :P .. thanks for the help .. the company is called DCTmotorsports .. solid work !! visit their website
http://www.dctms.com/Products.html
they make a steering wheel to ur specification, and then you send them your current one instead !

lunarx

LOL, I was almost thinking to ask if you wanted to sell your wheel.
If you think you are selling soon, let me know and I'll hold off spending any money on my wheel.

I copied a BS VIN off eBay and this is the part number for the steering wheel:
A2044604703 3D16

It has the BS P98 code and 3D16 Red Color Footnote.

You will need to call GenuineMercedesParts.com for a price.
It did not come up when I entered it on their website.

c63edition1

hahahaha ... i called that website, and they told me anything mercedes makes, we can get it, we just need the vin .. so i called the dealership for the sticker to be e-mailed to me, unfortunately, they haven't sent it yet, and the mercedes website people close at 6 ... so im going to tackle this tomorrow .. lemme know what you want to pay .. i paid $500 in total .. $400 to do the work, and $100 for installation and ship back my oem steering wheel.

hey c63edition1,
What u think about ordering the CF spoiler they have on the regular c63 coupe with amg package. and pu tit on are edition 1 coupe? think it would work out and how could i find that out?

c63edition1

funny thing is, i installed one 3 days ago .. i passed my my dealership, as i do every week (i think they are getting sick of seeing me) ! and they had an edition1 that they had changed some options while at the factory. It has all the options the edition 1 sedan has + reverse camera + P31 + LSD + lane change + illuminated door sills + carbon interior ... basically all the options (literally) :'( ... makes me pissed i didnt wait ... then again, it is 12k more than my car ! changes that i can get for much less ... but the spoiler on it looked menacing !!
here are pics of my car .. i think it needs more CF on the outside now though .. diffuser + mirror housing !!






sorry the pics are kinda dark .. its a bit early here

m0v30v3r

Sorry to jump off topic here... But C63Edition1 do you know where to get cf mirror housing?

c63edition1

there's this, which lays over your current ones i believe

and this, which replaces ur current ones ..

im opting for the second option

Cute doggy

c63edition1

LOL .. his name is angelllo .. GSD

JonMBZ

I very much doubt they can get any part. I am quite sure they cannot get you that steering wheel or pricing. At least not easily

jvanbrecht

You ever take your doggy for a drive in the AMG??

I do.. they love it (after putting the seats down of course)..

Meet Louie (dalmatian) and Snuffleupagus (Great Dane)... Gus for short



Sorry for derailing the topic.. I use every opportunity to post pics of my babies

cptdaz

Not sure why you want to go through so much effort when you already have a pretty pimped steering wheel.

Nice R8 edition1.

farhadahmad

Oh man!!! i need to get that. How much was it? and did the dealer install it? and do u have the Product number? i think thats the best spoiler made for are cars. and im going to get the VORTS diffuser and front lip summer time to match. thanks for help
Far

farhadahmad

Also i was told that the dealer cant put in those options if they dont already have it? lane change and new door sills

c63edition1

lane change u can't .. door sills u can .. i got them to install the camera ! the spoiler i got off of ebay ! installed it myself ! very easy, follow what people on the forum have said fishing line, and goo gone with some warm water, then put some muscle into it ..
my little trick is that i used a powerwasher to get every little bit of old tape off, washed the car, dried it .. then installed .. im going to wash now as a matter of fact, ill post some pics ..

oh and Jvanbrecht ... beautiful pups, dane looks scary :P ... but everyone is afraid of my GSD, and it boggles my mind since he is the equivalent of an infant hahaha sooo harmless and playful.

cptdaz, im glad you like my steering wheel, it looks nice i agree, but man sitting in that BS and grabbing a hold of that steering wheel .. u can REAALLLYY tell the difference. it just feels like mercedes .. mine feels customized .. im looking for a stock.ish .. but deadly ... plus, i decided not to sell the car and mod it instead .. Agency Power heads+exhaust and kleemann tune within a week .. spacers .. the full carbon fiber intake system from JL motoring .. JL motoring diffuser .. and the CF mirror housing ..
doesn't sound too stock does it ?? :P

c63edition1

sorry to answer your question regarding the spoiler .. 120$

derspi

Nice garage of cars you got there!

Somehow, I fail to see the difference between the steering wheel you have and that of the stock BS wheel. Other than the red leather bottom (which is probably what you asked for in the first place), they're the same wheel in shape, size, everything. What saddens me is how MB has decided to pretty much use the same steering wheel across a pretty large percentage of their 2012 lineup - no longer makes owning an AMG unique in this regard.

c63edition1

derspi .. the red came from mb .. it was part of their edition 1 line .. as for it being the same steering wheel .. i hear u .. but it just felt different :P more subtle to be honest .. but paying more attention to mine while driving today .. i realized i still love it haha ... modding cars is a disease ..im sure u know

derspi

I hear ya but I've shown monumental restraint with the C63. In the past, as soon as I got a new car, I'd drop considerable $$ to mod it but with the C63, just a tune, coilovers and nothing else (for now). I do like the feel of alcantara so a new wheel is always a possibility hehe

farhadahmad

120$!!! show me the link please. Does it look like OEM?

farhadahmad

http://vorsteiner.com/news/?p=1339 heres a link for Vorts new line up for c63 . i dont know if they have it for sedan?

c63edition1

i asked them, they have it all but the spoiler, i believe .. even the side skirts fit
prices are out in may and delivery in june i believe, worth waiting for .. that diffuser is what i want .. for the right price though, i might get the whole lower body !!

c63edition1

as for the spoiler, it looks exactly like OEM, put it side by side with a friend's P31 .. i did make a mistake though, its 145 not 120 .. 25 bucks off :P
