c250 coupe 2012

But if get replica c63 style bumper for w204, it might look weird to me, sorry just my personal view.
i got a good deal for CF c63 look hood cost 1150 usd in spore.
just want look for front bumper with headlight washer and sensor , fender.
C63 style definitely a good choice to go . btw, if you have found some good stuff , we can bulk purchase and reducing the shipping cost for both of us. .

So far , I heard c63 2012 coupe original hood does not fix with any c250 or c180 coupe . Anyone got info on this?

C63 is wider than normal C-class which is why it won't fit properly.

You need C63 fenders, hood, front bumper, and grille to get it to work. The C63 is slightly longer than the regular C Class (on the front end, made longer to fit the V8). So the whole front end was slightly redesigned to get everything to work. That's why you can't just do the hood.

Strange, I was under the impression that the chassis/frame was essentially the same just the panels were different, hence why the panels from the C63 could bolt on if you were to do a conversion. But that you would like you stated, need all the panels in order for it to work.

I don't own a C Class and haven't tried any of those modifications so I can't say for sure. I'm just rehashing information I've picked up since following the C AMG forum for the last few months. I'd do a little more in depth research to determine if you need new headlights or not as well as what hoods will work.

But if you're going to change all of that, might as well change it to C BS style!!!!

As far as I know that's how you do the conversion, replace the hood, fenders, bumper and grill. Headlights can stay as the panels all bolt up in the same place. The reason that you need to replace all the panels in the conversion is because they are proportionally bigger than the standard C-Class.

Thanks for the info. maybe i change c63 bumper and fender. the hood just use customs CF and the headlight stays. but the shops here don't offer blackout spray. they advise me don't. i maybe go for tinted.

Btw Knightmare69 , how abt Revozport DTM bumper c63, they made of PP?

C63 Black Series style!!!! Check out the C AMG forum area, there are two members who did a full Black Series conversion on their regular C63 coupe and C63 sedan. Very nice and aggressive.


Us car guys are really all the same. We like the aggressive style and just go for it!

Now this is Aggressive !
But it won't suitable for Malaysia road conditions,
just got my front screen hit by rock. and bumper too.
And the car horsepower isn't big enough to support as we drive only c200 or c250.
Worst is most probably get stop by ...
How pathetic malaysia drivers are

Blackout spray for what, the headlights? best way is to open then and spray the inside black. If you really can't then you need to get a special tint film that makes your headlight look smoked but won't affect light output too much.

Revozport stuff is high quality, also why is so expensive. There is no DTM style listed. Only C63 conversion made from PU, AMG C63 Style made from FRP, and F1 safety made from CF.

Yes i mean open up and spray but they told me they dont have the gum to stick it back, and it will condense easily.

you mean the F1 safety made from Carbon?

If you can live without your headlight for a few days I highly recommend you send them to America to a retrofitter http://www.hidplanet.com/forums/foru...-Other-Vendors

They can customize your lights for you as well as upgrade the projectors and HID.

Yes, F1 made from CF, dunno why the F was cut off.

Felt the same , rather go for standard mod to save time and money.
Too many convert c63 style made from taiwan.
I check with paint shop first, see how's the situation.
Hope they wont disappoint me

Btw my stock front tyre came with 225/45/17 , rear 245/40/17.
want to upgrade to 18" .
i wish to run on 245/40/18 on all ,can switch between them
is it possible to fit the size for the front?

just call up few places in msia & spore.
Looks like they are out of resource.
sound no confident to me.
They claims the material import to them was lousy, have to do a lot of adjustment and paint work. so they never did.
What a lousy excuse.
Some even ask me to install c63 bodykit from taiwan pp material to save the trouble.

If that's the case , i must well Back to Basic. AMG sport body or Brabus ( just to add on of what im current having).

With the C Class you have so many choices. If it were my car, I personally wouldn't go the AMG route as it's sort of like why didn't you just buy the real thing to begin with (I understand the AMGs are significantly more expensive over there, but when it comes down to it, it's still a C300 with AMG body kit). Whereas I feel that a body kit from a true aftermarket tuner such as Brabus, Lorinser, or Wald will feel much more original and will be more unique in my mind.

Left with these choice and more easy to access:

Euro style AMG Sport

Last two pic Brabus only difference is mine was DRL
