Question 2011 or 2012? Help please!

Hey everyone, so my question is if I get a new (2012-2013) model of the C63 will I have trouble finding parts (engine/body/interior) because its a newer model? Or was there not much changed between the 2011 models and the current ones and I will have no trouble finding the parts I need?

To make it simpler, if I got an exhaust system that was made for a 2010-11 C63 would it fit on a 2012-13? Same with an aero kit like a front lip, trunk, etc.

Thanks

Hi,

Alot of the mechanical parts are identical and shouldn't be a problem. Main differences between the two is slight external body modifications (for instance an 08-11 diffuser will NOT fit the 12 body) and mainly alot of differences on the interior. Engine parts and exhaust etc should be the same.

Front lip/diffuser/side vents all wont fit. I believe the hood is also a different size on the newer models so youd have to look into a facelifted option if you wanted to change your hood also. The spoilers will work, unless you get a coupe.

Edit: Don't hold me to this but i believe the coupe exhaust is slightly modified then the sedans one. you would need to get an exhaust for the coupe if thats what you were getting as your 12/13 option.

so theres definitely difference in the body but how about an engine mod, would it matter? and we're talking about a 2011 sedan versus a 2012 sedan

True, there are parts aplenty for the '11. Not as wide of a choice for '12 but it'll get there.

Engines should be identical.
