C43 AMG Coupe
Received the VIN from my dealer, searched and found it is for a 2002 built C class!

Better query that one...

Looks great, we've gone with the Saddle Brown seats, but unfortunately don't have the option of the quilted finish or dark wood trim on the C43 coupe, which I think is a great looking combination.

Has anyone tried to get the Saddle Brown interior in Australia on a C63? There must be a special way to option it from Germany. BMW were very accomodating when optioning the trim on one of my cars as I didnt like the one it came with.

Thanks guys! Fortunately the interior came exactly as asked. I can't say the same about the exterior. Got some diferences i'm trying to solve, it's a shame that after spending this much, i don't have the car i ordered. We'll see how it goes.

It looks like the actual config of the c43 in my country now include some parts of the night package (tinted rear windows, black case mirrors and black window frames), that weren't expected to come (i do not want any of that). I was not asked or warned about this, nor about the option for choosing the conmutable performance exhaust, so i'm not particularly happy of the salesperson's job in charge of my car. Anyway, i'm sure we'll soon find a solution

The 450/43 was not optioned with body color mirrors nor chrome window trim.

So that was bound to come regardless. That seems like your misunderstanding of what the car would look like, the other stuff can definitely be blamed on the salesmen.

Is it a whole new grill or is there a part number to add the amg on the front grill and it clips on? Looks like the same diamond grill as c450 but has the little amg like the c63

That's a good turn around, I'm guessing they had a car matching your spec on order to sell.

I ordered mine a month ago and the dealer estimate is mid October!

Ordered mine at the end of May, looking at mid-October delivery here in the US...but my order was for a Coupe, which last I heard was running about a month later than the 43 Sedans.

Appears to be same grill as c450... that piece is a separate part (Part # A2058174700) on the c63... see here:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-AMG-W205-Radiator-Grille-Emblem-fit-Genuine-Mercedes-Cclass-C63-A2058174700-/122022510958?nma=true&si=unAYwh64%252BexJTQtCqcmJkTmmNDI%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

I just dont know if that part number is the same as the c63 which is: A2058174700 or a new one that fits for the c43 which would add on to the c450

Cars.
Dealers willing to give the same discount as a C450 on a 43? 10-12% off?

This one seems to have all the right badging. Nothing on the front grill though.

I think I posted the wrong video, it was of a white one and it had the side markings of Bi-TURBO/4matic. I'll try and find it again.
