2014 C63 Coupe
C350 to C63 Conversion
I've been trying to search the forum and not having the luck I was hoping for (and this could just be my search criteria).
My friend has a 2014 C350 coupe and I'm in the process of a widebody conversion. He was interested in buying my fenders, hood, front bumper, and side skirts when I was done and was wondering if the chassis is the same and if that would even work?
I think I read somewhere the hoods are different widths but I wasn't sure if that was due to the fenders or the actual width of the frame to accommodate the V8.
Thank you in advance!

I don't see why not, the cars themselves are pretty much the same aside from drivetrain and the actual suspension. That being said, it shouldn't be too hard to take some measurements to get a rough idea. I'd try that first and go from there.

Bonnets/hoods are all identical widths, the front tip of the C63 units however is longer and more pointed, which also means the grilles are slightly different profiles to match.
The front fenders of the C63's are slightly wider/more flared and the front OEM wheels of the C63 have a slightly different offset to reflect that difference compared to the non AMG variants.
As far as what your friend is wanting to do above, it should all fit up - but as mentioned above re. the bonnet nose profile he may want to use the AMG grille also.
