TIA

Do you know what year / anything? The pano roof hasn't been an option for a couple years as far as I know

C63's don't have pano roofs.... First it's designed as a PERFORMANCE car.. that said, weight saving is a must ... plus it's a safety measure not to include them, having in mind a case of a roll over...

rigidity of the body is lost with a glass roof.

Actually, I have been wondering about the same thing too, so I payed attention to all the c63-s i saw, and one day I really I saw one..

That was in Hong Kong though. It was just parked on the street so i'm not sure what year, but I'm sure it's a pano not painted because light was shining through it.

I also saw another one rolling on the freeway, also in HK. that Might have been a painted roof, cuz it's a little too far to tell, but it looks pano to me.

If the pano roof was real, may be the AMG wasn't real, possibility a C350 with C63 dressing

No Pano Roof for C63

No Panoramic sunroofs available on C63 in South Africa either. Not even as an optional extra. It does come out with a normal sized glass sunroof as standard here. This might apply to other countries too as our options brochure is marked as an international download from our local MB website.

It is a pitty though, because it gives the C a nicely destinct look. Especialy if the car colour is white.

thought about that too. but as I remember it had c63 seats and steering wheel and everything, so I assumed it's not worth it to do such a conversion? i dunno. possible

i never heard of pano roof being offered as an options in Hong Kong either, so that maybe a fake C63 or just a painted roof

There's hope yet. Here's a new E63 with a pano. I realize the pictures from the outside don't exactly show the pano roof, but if you look closely at the interior shot it has the AMG logo's in the seats, so you can tell the pictures aren't doctored.

Nice find... I thought I would like the e63 much better than I did... Maybe the pictures don't do it justice? I don't like the seats, looks very boxy and plain, I like the e coupe seats better, much more stylish...

Anyway, back to the thread topic. The pano on the "c63" could have just been a non amg re-badged with the amg logos or possibly even gone as far to include diffuser, front bumper and hood conversion kit... OR, my questions is. Would it technically be possible to add the panoramic roof in after the fact?

No pano roof on C63. It's either painted/wrapped.
