FaceLift C63 LOOK hood
W204 Duraflex Morello Edition Fenders
FaceLift Headlights
FaceLift Steering Wheel
FaceLift Tail Lights
Carbon Rear Diffuser
E Class AMG Tailpipes

X Pipe Mod

TODO:
ECU Flash
C63 Grill
Illuminated Sills
Get paddle shifters working
Get carbon fiber lip spoiler in the front

MAYBE:
Get Carbon Fiber bumper flairs for the back

Ebay, just search "w204 c63 look hood" The c63 hood won't fit so make sure it's a c63 look hood it's about 800 get the aluminum, durable kinda sucks

I actually really prefer that front end to the pre-face lift one. Unfortunately I am pre-face lift so I'm stuck with it

heres the wheels

As for the front end, there are plenty of pained ones on ebay like this cheap. It will take a bit to get it to fit just right, but its pretty easy.

Shipping kills me, going to Australia. Also, we don't have those horrible indicators on the bumper, and I want to keep it that way

Thanks for the tip though!

You need to do the brakes and calipers, those rotors look small.

I personally think it looks like a Frankenstein car. If you go to resell it, people like me would notice all the mis-matches and figure the car was in a wreck and wasn't put back together properly

But as long as you enjoy it

I like to avoid these types of mods... its making it look like something it isn't. The best part about a C63 as said above is the motor.

Ya, Dont care what you think about it not being what it looks like. Kit cars are huge and they arent Lambo's, but some of them you would be hard pressed to find the difference without opening the hood. I cant afford 80k.. and until I can this is the closest I can get.

A c63 isn't 80,000. It starts in the 60s and cam probably be bought in the 50s. A used c63 start in the 30s

I see all these guys flaming you because it isn't really a C63 and I just shake my head..

What's wrong with wanting a car with lower maintenance costs, a more economical engine lower insurance premiums etc that still has the looks.

Who cares if it isn't a v8 under the hood? Half of us have coil over shocks, catless exhausts and all manner of various go fast bits. Are our cars race cars? not even slightly.

Some people like to modify their vehicle for performance, some like to personalise the image of it, others don't like changing anything at all. Whatever is being done doesn't directly affect you as a person, so why the negativity?

First, he did post on a public forum. Second, he clearly states that he wants to know what we think. Third, I just looked at the pics again, and I noticed that it's not a AMG replica front bumper. It's looks like the old prefacelift bumper with the LED like from 2011. So really, the only AMG thing I see about this car is the diffuser and the exhaust tips

Thanks AusMB87, but flaiming was fully expected. Anyone who has a C63 is angry I can make it look similar for a fraction of the cost. I'm gonna badge it just to make them even angrier . Also anyone who says its frankenstien tell that to the people at the MB dealership who checked it in for service as a C63 LOL had to tell them 3 times it was a C300 when they were trying to charge me for oil

No worries. I guess it makes much more sense to do what you are doing form an Aussie point of view. After all, a cheap second hand C63 here is still $70k where you can pick up a C200k for $23k or a C200cgi like mine for $35k.

God knows I would prefer a C63, but that is a whole lot of extra dollars.

Anyway, nothing wrong with a bit of a frankenstein in my book I'm sure as hell going to be putting the facelift AMG style bumper on my 2010. And Carlsson badges to match my tune. And probably the AMG style bonnet at some point. And I only have four cylinders

I wasn't flaming you for making it look like a "c63" . My point was that it doesn't even look like a c63. That's not a face-lift AMG bumper. Those are not oem headlights. Those are the depo aftermarket headlights. Only thing resembling the c63 is your diffuser
