Diamond White C63 coupe + PP
CF Mirrors

Ordered CF Mirrors from UK and it only took 3 days to arrive to Australia. Installed it tonight and I just love it. The part is exactly the same as the original Mercedes Mirror cover and fits perfectly.

I got it from cksperformance.com. The covers are made in Germany and they are very well made.

Thank you. The quality is second to none and it is made in Germany and it looks like the carbon fibre is baked onto the OEM Mercedes part. It certainly looks great and I am thrilled with it.

The look is mean. Seems like bought the car with these installed.

It doesn't look aftermarket at all.

The aftermarket OEM CF wrapped covers are better then the OEM...

There is much more CF coverage (goes all the way around) The OEMs are limited to just the forward facing areas (Rest is painted black)

I am not sure if they are exactly like the MB ones as I don't have them to compare. I try to compare the fibre pattern with that of the spoiler and they look almost identical. The cover is a Mercedes OEM part. When it arrived the LED indicator lights are in it.

It easy enough to install if you know how to do it. The Mercedes technician came to my house to install it for me. Took him less than 10 minutes for each mirror.

I highly recommend this mod

Haha, I got a quote for OEM ones from Mercedes Australia and the quoted me $3000 each. And $6000 for the dash and door trims. That is absolutely ridiculous.

I got the one that is £598 including Vat and £499 ex vat

That is the one without Cf on the bottom section. I got that as it is the same as OEM. Look at photos from the Mercedes site. The cf does not wrap on the small section just under the cover.

I purchase these on recommendation by another Aust member here MB280S. I should thank him for it as he took the plunge and install it first.

I love this look - the contrast on the white is beautiful. Do you have the CF lip spoiler? If not, that would be a perfect match!

Thank you BK63amg. Yes I do have the CF lip spoiler. That is the very reason I got the CF covers.

I purchased this combination after Mercedes air freighted a C63 diamond white coupe for the march 2011 car exhibition here in Australia. I went to the exhibition with no intension of even buying a car. When I saw this new coupe model and color combination I just fell in love with the car.

Unfortunately when I purchased my car, I either took what they had or wait another 6 months thinking I could purchased the OEM CF later. At $3000 a piece I gave up on the idea as i feel the was a rip off price even though my wife gave me her blessing to purchase it :-). Now at Aust $450 (including freight from UK) a piece it is a bargain.

I am indeed so very happy with this mod. It seems to almost complete the look of the car.....now Carbon fiber diffuser here I come!! :-)

Nice car pcho! Yes I think they are a good match to the MB OEM ones. Look at this picture which is on the AMG website. I think pcho's an exact match.
