Holy batman, just when I thought my CF addiction thread posted few weeks ago was the top of all addicts.. U beat me to it. Lol
The interior looks fabulous. Although I would have kept the seat backs CF.
The exterior will look great with the BS body kit. The CF handles are a bit overkill but props for going all out.
Happy wife happy life. Lol

I'm impressed by going all in on this build... but to it's just all too much in my opinion.
I think the interior would have looked better without the CF leather which reminds CF vinyl. I would have also ditched the "special edition" embroidery on the seats.
Other than that this is one spectacular build. Who does all your CF work if I may ask?

Update: Start modifying BS-kit
Finally after the interior I can start with the bodykit
The costs are getting growing and growing, sorry I kill the original AMG…I think there's nothing left original
I bought the BS-bodykit and inspired by some other tuners I combine several styles of them in this bodykit, I do not want the bodykit looks to much like the BS, but my own look-a-like.
Bodykit in original size
So maybe some of you will don't like it but hey, where is this forum for:roll eyes:
In the air-intake in the bumper I want these 3 stripes, made of carbon, fitting in the front bumper
Front bumper with carbon stripes in the air-intakes
Rear bumper
In the rear bumper I like to have that fins, so they made for me the fins in the opening, also in carbon
So now you have a small idea how I want my kit
I will post soon more updates!

This project reminds me my golf TDI that i fully pimped (interior and exterior) back in 2002. I won some car show with it .
All that to say this project is a nice one but i wouldn't do it on a c63 particularly the interior. Although beautiful it is a pain to maintain.
Tell me this work was not done within 2-3 days right? You are just posting pictures now but this was actually done during the summer... so stop teasing us and post pictures of the car fully built

I did not think about the single fins
Too late for that….
Yes guys, the car is now in 3 months modified and it is still in progress, we are almost at the end of my log, then we have to wait till end of this month if it's bodykit will be ready.
If I knew sooner about this forum, I certainly become a member.
So sorry for my late log…I saw pics from Dad's C63 at google and he inspired me to do that too.
So right now, the car is still at the factory and it is not finished…I even cannot wait anymore…
Here are some updates
Front bumper
I bought the BS-kit from Prior Design and guess what: it doesn't fit good
I asked them twice, does it fit to my car
And the owner gives me 100% guarantee that it will fit perfect.
At the front bumper, it doesn't perfect fit to the front lamps. A few cm too short man. I really get pissed of, but the factory said I don't have to worry….they can make it fit.
At the bottom I will add carbon too in the front lip later
Fenders
At this pic you see the original fender of the BS.
I didn't like that small straight hole, so I want to modify it to another fender with stripes
This will be the modified fender:
Rear bumper
The fenders at the back door I will not modify it.
It seems looking good for me.
In the rear bumper you can see the fins, later that will change into carbon fins
In the rear bumper I cut off the diffusor.
I like to have another diffuser, like the CLS-stealth
I want to have this diffusor, so they're making a mal now and will place it into the bumper. I hope they can make the similar diffusor or that will have the same look like the CLS-stealth
If you take a good look, you see a part of my Akrapovic, I have to cut of a little piece at the end of it, otherwise it will not fit
So I bought the original AMG exhaust tips and these will be perfectly fit in the rear bumper:
We hanged some pics on the wall of the CLS.
Sorry for the bad drawings, but this supposed how it will be
The hood
We were talking about the modifications in the hood how it will fit.
Because I want the same hood like the CLS, with a big intake in the middle and in the left and right side some fins made of carbon.
For example this middle intake and the fins on the second pic:
I hope this will all be possible, otherwise it will be the great and most expensive flop in my life.
I just want to make my dreams come true: my own on a-of-kind AMG.
People say I am crazy modifying an AMG, but in the US and ASIA I see you like modifying your cars…
I will post more updates: that will be my last updates and then we have to wait when they are ready with my car, I hope end of this month.
Then you guys have to help me which wheels I have to choose.
There are so many wheels I cannot choose, but I have the concaves wheels in my mind of Forgiato.
Thanks for following my project!
Updates coming soon!

I would see a nice set of HRE P1 or S1 if you like staggered. Even some Klassen M52

Please don't buy Forgiato wheels. PLEASE DON'T.
Look at HRE S-series, Klassen M52, ADV.1, or DPE wheels.
They have hundreds of sexy wheels to choose from and the quality is much better than Forgiato.

Thanks for the advice, I almost want to buy the wheels from Forgiato, because I saw their website and they have a wheel builder, so I could make my own design with colours.
I did not know their quality is less than the HRE's, Adv1, etc
I am very disappointed to look for another one
I like the super concave wheels like DPE, but I heard from several customers wheels from DPE were not so good as DPE say.
I like the Adv1 too, but I have to buy at a dealer here in the Netherlands and will take 8 weeks!!! I cannot wait that so long.
Most of the brands you say, have a delivery time of 8 weeks and may not ship to the Netherlands.
The prices here from the dealers are at least 9k euro! for a complete set…
And the factory said it is better not to order the wheels after the bodykit is placed, because the offset will be different.
Anyone know how to get these wheels asap and ship to the Netherlands?

Front bumper
Hello guys,
I got pics from the factory, to make fit the front bumper perfectly, they have make a mal of my original bumper and cut the upper part so it fits now perfect to the head lights.
Bumper finally fits perfect
Next week the kit should fit completely perfect to the whole car and will be placed on the car.
Updates soon

Wow. That's what I call a professional body shop.
Amazing how they molded the two bumpers together.
As to the wheels, you can ask vendors here if they have any wheels in stock that will fit a C63 Black Series. Try wheelsboutique or vividracing
Why do you have to buy the wheels in NL?
You can order them from the US and have thm shipped via DHL or UPS or Fedex.
Wheel prices in Europe are stupidly high.
A classic monoblock wheel at HRE Germany is 1300€ before tax.
I don't want to know how much would the new HRE S-series or P-series cost in Europe.
