Your car has the dark ash but aluminum door trim which is what I want. Can you get dark ash console/ aluminum door trim? If so how?
Thanks!

It's different for the sedan, you don't have Aluminum option with dark ash wood

****ty... not sure how keen I am on the wood door trim. Don't suppose anybody has pics of how it looks?


I have only seen it in the Sedan which was crazy spec'ed with white Designo leather seats. It had the dark ash finish with the silver trim on the door. I guess this must only come with the $4K extra to get the leather or something. It looked sic but the car was also over $75k CN

17' C43 Coupe
NYCSoil. Looking good!!! I just picked up my dropped coupe yesterday. Ill post picks up here as well. Btw, which mm spacers did you go with? And for some reason my car sits a bit lower than yours. Idk why, but more so looks like Dvision with his drop. Did your springs settle? Lets all meetup or something. Seems like we are all not too far from one another. I actually work in Brooklyn as well (Greenpoint) and ill have my car with me tomorrow

Idk, it's pretty low I have 15mm in the rear only, I'll order 10mm for front later as these wheels are my winter set up. I have summer wheels with proper offset. I'm down for the meet up though Post pics!

Any reputable tint shop that does vinyl wraps as well should be able to do it. You might need to take your car in so they can have a look at it. Not a lot of them carry the satin chrome/stainless finish in stock. They'll have swatches you can choose from. I just had the guy who does it decide, since they're more familiar on how the wrap turns out once it's applied anyways. Took around 2hrs to finish. I paid, $180+/-

Any members out there with pics of the AMG C43 in polar white with the night package? Also anyone selected the optional black spoiler?

Thinking of getting the polar white, with two-tone multi-spoke rims and night package but thinking it would look better with the optional black spoiler as a nice counter balance. Hard to say cause the build your own service on the Canadian website doesn't change the spoiler when you select it. Pics of that if you got em, please! Thx!

Although I can't address your exact concern/question, try selecting the carbon fiber exterior option (includes rear spoiler) just to get a better idea of what the "contrast" of the spoiler might look like on the white car?

Don't know for sure if this will work but worth a shot

I have Polar White with the carbon fiber spoiler and rear view mirrors and the definition looks great

Oh my goodness. I LOVE the style of the coupe and interior! How does this drive? I can't quite afford this yet but its on my list... that or a 440i M-Sport. Oh and I have to convince the future wife to let me get a coupe instead haha

H&R springs don't matter??? Did you have any alignment issues? Did you space out the front and rear wheels?

For this setup they don't matter. Spacers needed ONLY to clear the arm in the front. I had these wheels on my old C450 that wasn't lowered with the same 3mm spacers.

Nice looking car !!

There was a similar one in the showroom at one of the dealerships I shopped at but not equipped the way I wanted

Are you getting out of one of the current cars you're driving?

No kidding! Desperately don't want to put the snows on! White looks so tough, great contrasts really make the cars pop!
