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.
Would your front bumper lip fit the 2019 Coupe model and where did you get it? I'm looking for something similar. Thanks
Super bored, can we get some more pics to admire?! I know you all spent the weekend waxing your baby. if a storm trooper ever got in your face it would look a lot like this
Performmaster calls their tuned C43 a C43S. Also interestingly, when I look at Eisenmann’s exhaust catalog they mention a C43S. Maybe there is such a model in Germany?

Sorry, nope. Both examples of marketing liberties by the tuners.

Does it really matter in the end. Owners stick spoilers and side skirts on to their cars to personalise them, no different than sticking an S logo on the boot in my mind. Most of the time the spoilers are not original Mercedes either.

Unequivocally not the same thing. A C300 can add all the AMG appearance parts they want and it will look great. Hell, MB straight up gives you the option on a lot of ways. The same goes for loads of other cars. Mustangs and Challengers all have great looking appearance packages, and a massive pool of aftermarket options. EcoBoosts putting V8 or GT badges is still an upbadge and bad. Adding an S when no such model exists, is an upbadge and bad. You can not mind it all you want, but it doesn't change the fact that the model doesn't exist and is tacky. The dude above has an awesome car that I'm incredibly envious of given his geography....but I'd never try and claim it's something it isn't.

But there’s no claim it’s something it isn’t because the model doesn’t exist.

My thoughts exactly, it's not like I put a c63 badge on it because its making the same power as c63. I like the look and felt somewhat justified as I'm making more power than stock. It's my take on an oem+ c43.
I just got some H&R lowering springs installed on my wagon today. I wish the back dropped just a tad more, we’ll have to see if the springs will settle a bit. But anyways I wanted share a couple pictures.

looks good, how's the ride comfort? I'm weighing up between these and kw has.

Do u have a part number?
Ben.
the ride is very similar to stock both in comfort and sport+. Handling does seem to feel a little bit nicer. I’m definitely pretty happy with them. KW has would probably give you better adjustability to level out the car. The back being a little high is probably the only thing that bugs me. I hope this helps with your decision making.
but if you do go ahead with it the part number is H&R 28811-4.

Did you need a camber kit to maintain stock camber?
