Help with Mods for (new to me) C63

Just purchased a Black 2010 C63 optioned as follows:

P30
Multimedia/Comand
Premium II
Carbon Fiber Interior
Roof Spoiler
AMG leather (light grey)
Keyless Go

Stickered at nearly $77k, has 6000 miles and ELW through 8/1/2017

I've purchased a set of used 19" HRE P47s (black powder coated: 8.5 and 9.5 with Michelin PSS 245/35 and 275/30) and an OE Tuning package, which I haven't installed (debating about returning this and exchanging for EuroCharge).

I'm thinking about painting the calipers red, adding an OEM carbon fiber spoiler and adding some bass to the Harmon Kardon system.

I'm in the Fayetteville, AR area and there aren't very many forward thinking shops here for plasicoating, etc.

Sorry for no pics yet, will work on that over the next couple of days...

Looking forward to your thoughts!

Keep the OETune. Between them and Eurocharged they are very similar in gains.

Nice I saw those P47s on ebay and was about to buy them but you just beat me to it. I think fellow forum member Pertplus had those wheels originally and sold them. The new owner powder coated them.

You should look into H&R springs. The OE tune is great, but since you have the performance package already it will only give you slight gain compared to a non pp c63.

Looking forward to seeing pics.

I looked at those rims too. Was debating because of the slight bend, but a great deal!

You def need a CF steering wheel to match your interior trim haha (look at my sig).

Keep the OE tune. It has proven to give great results
Post pics of those P47 HREs. I'm curious how they look in black.

No, you're correct it's a 451hp model. It's an early model 10 produced in 9/2009, so P31 wasn't yet available. Also no back-up camera. I actually really wanted the P30 instead of the P31, because you get the improved suspension and LSD in the package. The hp is easy to add...

My EC tune on my P30 added a solid 64 WHP, not bad at all.

Filters, lowered along with your HRE's and you'll be pretty happy until you want more then head for some headers.

A set of KW V3's is always a wise investment!
