What did you do with the side skirt inserts, wrap or over lay? If over lay, what brand and how is the fitment?
Ben
That’s the inner layer of the original side skirt option. I haven’t got around to attaching the actual side skirt yet. What you see is an intermediate side skirt only. It’s like a double layer.
Here's my 2017 43 coupe I bought from new. AMG Performance exhaust, interior and exterior carbon packs, AMG performance seats, KW HAS kit, 20" Ispiri's. Recently ordered lots of carbon exterior parts from Future Design so will put these on a new thread.
Beautiful car. How comfortable are the sport seats? Will they work for an everyday driver?
I ordered a c43 without the sport seats because I'd read that they were incredibly firm. At the time, there were no demo cars without the sport seats for me to test.
Whilst waiting for my order I found one without the seats so drove interstate to test drive. After the test drive i immediately cancelled my order and found a car with the performance pack. I would have been extremely disappointed if I'd been stuck with the car without the performance seats.
Personally, I don't find them too firm and needless to say they look awesome.

I have the performance seats with the designo two-tone white - black option and I have never seen seats that look as good or as high quality material short of a super car. And I'm not exaggerating they are unreal.
Have fitted an OEM 2019 facelift diffuser and tailpipes, OEM Matt Black AMG 19" alloys, GT-R grill and gloss black tertiary parts (spoiler, front lip etc). Just the stuff I think looks best from each of the models.
For those interested, the engineer told me the 2019 OEM facelift diffuser and tailpipes were a direct and easy swap on my car. Also, I don't know if it's just placebo, but I feel like my exhaust is slightly deeper and louder since I fitted the facelift pipes. I know it theoretically shouldn't have made any difference to the sound since they're just cosmetic, but perhaps it's the way the new tailpipes split the sound waves coming out of the actual (AMG Performance) exhaust or something. Then again, it could just be other variables making the difference, like engine or oil temperature etc.

In any case, some pics.
Looks great, where did you purchase all the parts from?

Grill and facelift diffuser/tailpipes were from CKS Performance (UK), though you can order the facelift diffuser/tailpipes directly from Mercedes dealerships for slightly cheaper.
The wheels were from Mercedes Newcastle (good price compared to other dealerships, though still pricey) as well as a local dealership that had just two wheels left over with microscopic delivery marks, hence sold them to me at a discount.
I ordered a C43 coupe in May and it just came in. The dealer sent me pictures and everything is exactly how I ordered it except it has performance seats which I did not request. Just wanted to make sure I can drive it everyday. Thanks for all the info. They do look awesome! Will post pictures when I pick up the car this weekend.

Are they charging you for them? If not, keep it, they've just added value to your car. Regarding the seats, they're definitely not as comfortable as the normal sports seats, but if you set them up properly (bolsters etc) they're manageable even on longer journeys.
I think your level of comfort with them might depend on your height and weight. I think heavier set people often find them more uncomfortable due to the lack of padding and thickness to certain key areas.
