C63 Coupe Edition 1
MY C63 GOT INTO TRAFFIC ACCIDENT :(

Hey everyone,
I was in LA traffic 2 weeks ago when the guy infront me me slammed breaks! Car behind me tail gating like crazy. i switched lanes looking but the guy who hit me switched lanes at high speeds and hit me. I looked over and signal wasnt no one there. Long story short. car getting fixed. Just ordered the part so god knows how long that will take. I had to call lot of shops due to are edition 1 paint. They have work with this kind of paint just not my color so they know what there doing.

BTW it was like a chevy tahoe that hit me. his car is done i believe.











Sorry about small pictures i dont know how any other way to do it.
This might been my fault or not? but i didnt want to get hit in the rear. that would of happened if i slammed me breaks. Im from SF was taking a road trip to LA.
Thanks for taking the time to look. The BEAST will be back soon and better looking then ever..

i think this has to be the first C63 EDITION 1 COUPE . to be hit hard and needs repairs like this. i called 10 different shops. this shop is located in fremont,ca CAR WEST ELITE.
Making me feel comfortable with everything. going to spray my badges glossy blk to match the rest stuff i did.

Wow sucks to hear. I don't complete understand what happen but it seems like u can be partially at fault here, even though the other guy should also be at fault. Idk

I was also rear ended recently but nothing wrong with my car. The other car had a dent

Good luck and hopes she comes back better than ever!

Why are they repainting the entire car? I mean, there isn't alot of panels anyway.. But why would the right side need paint?

Since you need a new front bumper you should order the Euro one/ have the corner lights filled in like a Euro spec. Will look very clean!

Really sorry to hear about this.....

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I doubt they will get the Magno night black paint to match or look remotely close, and major components of your suspension are broken - most likely, it will never be the same again, you should total it out and start looking for a new one.

Good luck either way, and be glad you are okay.

Please let us know if I can be of assistance.

We are currently about 4 weeks production. Keep that in mind, since we many other companies are quoting 3-5 months.
