Many thanks for all your comments. The skirts are genuine C63 coupe. They are easy fit but protrude around 5mm at the front because of the C63 different front wing. Not an issue. Very expensive @ £350 per side. Still have the original skirts. (Diamond White any offers)

I like OZ rims, use to own two sets before, it is good really smart rims option. Otherwise I don't like much too many black parts on your car as well as AMG and 4 pipes out on C250

OZ HLT
Hi, I have great respect for Honest people, at the end of the day, it is down to personal choice and I love it. The Photos do not do the wheels justice because they are graphite grey but look black in the photos.

Up to you what to do to your car, I just prefer stock MB look of my coupe. AMG badges and 4 pipes on one pipe out car are not changing anything to your car also custom painting with too many black parts looks cheap to my eyes.
OZ are great rims, that is one of the F1 rims suppliers. I would buy them again but I would prefer to stay on mine AMG rims

You are probably right, all my driving life I have tweeked my cars to look different than the stock and it now is a real head turner. I have the best of everything, Cosmetically pleasing, economical to run and Fast. What more can I ask for?

Car looks sweet. Just recently saw a CL done same way. You should tint rear tail lights (with rectangular white LED reverse lights portion cut out). How did you blackout your daytime LED chrome surrounds up front? Plasti-dip maybe?

The C63 sideskirts compliment the car much better than the stock. When you say they protrude 5mm at the front do you have any close up pictures of it and how does it effect the fitment of it? Im keen to also swap over my sideskirts.
Also, is the boot spoiler carbon fibre or just painted?

Many thanks for your comments. Yes, Plasti-dip for the daytime running lights. Not recommended as it shrunk after a while showing a small part of chrome. I have some 3m car wrap to replace the plasti-dip. The C63 side skirts are a direct replacement from the original, no adjustments needed, Will post a close-up photo soon. The rear Boot spoiler is direct from Mercedes Benz and painted. I will exchange it with a Carbon Fibre and also a carbon Fibre (when available) front splitter when my wife is not looking.

Thanks for the info much appreciated. What I want to see is what you mean exactly when you say it protrudes 5mm at the front. Hopefully the pics will explain themselves.

Hi, The only way to solve is to fit C63 Wings. It is hardly noticeable but having said that I didn't see a difference from the old skirts when exchanged, also at £660 a pair plus paint in hindsight, I should not of bothered.
Many thanks John

On another note, are you using the stock C63 quad exhaust?? If so, have you noticed any difference in performance or sound?? I also have a C250 CDI and plan to go down the quad exhaust route.
Thanks John.

Amg Exhaust
Hi John,
The rear Valance is genuine C63 and only costs £70 from Mercedes. Direct replacement although you will need the centre fixing bracket. (slightly longer)
The exhausts are hand made in the best Stainless Steel. I picked a company that deal in fabricating exhausts for bespoke/classic cars. Nice rumble on tickover and there is a slight difference in sound but nowhere near like the C63.
Many thanks, John
