Here in Australia it would appear that only about 1% of all C-Classes are ordered with AMG Sports Styling. Looks like the exact opposite of overseas countries. Therefore there is NO availability of used parts and the dealer gets to charge a premium price for the kit (In excess of $10,000 even before fitting and painting).

Can anyone tell me what the prices are overseas? Would anyone be willing to find out for me? I am interested to see the difference and also to find out what it would cost to ship them.

I came across a 2012 C300 with rare AMG Styling the other day and couldn't believe it when the price came in at $117,000. And that was discounted! Makes me want to move to the US! You can only imagine what they stick us for a C63 here.

I did not end up purchasing the kit therefore I am not certain of the quality, though one of my friend had his CLK rear-ended very badly, and had his car sent there by MB Fortitude Valley, it came out like new.

Thanks Gashde,

I'll have to check that out!

I'd still be interested to compare to overseas pricing and shipping.

This reminds me I had also requested a quote from this place over in the states : http://www.bodykitsuperstore.com/mer...it-p-9665.html

Not entirely sure if the kit is the exact AMG styling, but it seems pretty genuine judging from the images. I was quoted $1149.99 USD and extra $740 USD for shipping to Australia. I was informed that the parts do not come painted.

Otherwise there is the CKS Performance website located in UK which I thought to be overpriced. Their web site is this :

I'm sure there are other places selling the AMG kit but these are all I could find for now.

Thanks once again.

Up until now I hadn't been able to find anything tha wasn't C63 replica.

CKS looks damn cheap as far as the C63 Kit goes. 800 or so for both fenders sounds great if they indeed genuine parts.
