Took delivery last week: Premium 3, CF interior, performance exhaust, night package, pano roof, AMG wheel, red/black leather, multispoke 19"s with black accents.
It took two and a half days of pro detailing to fix how badly the dealer had trashed the paint, followed by Opticoat Pro+. The bumper is still going to need paint work to fix dents and scratches put in there by the dealer. Awful dealer experience so far, but loving the car! Interior is amazing, the night + CF packages look great together, and the performance exhaust is hilariously fun.

Thanks for posting, I can actually see the 18" 5 spoke wheels on a real car... that's what I got on my "en route" C43.

Beautiful. I hate MB for making a coupe I don't fit in... maybe I'll just have to wait for a used S Coupe... that's a truly gorgeous car though. Had. EnWhite/Red combo on my BMW and there's nothing like it.

I was nervous about sticking with the 18" but I just didn't like the 19" options they had for he c43. My ideal would have been the 19" 5-spoke but that's only available on the C63 but I'm actually quite happy with the 18" and I have the added benefit of a slightly smoother ride during my daily commute.

Love the car but I really dislike how MB made the 2 bumps on the rear bumper.

Someone on here had them removed. They took it to a body shop and had the bumper moulded in those spots to be smooth.
But yes, without the extra work there would be gaping holes.

My question to those of you who have or want to remove those bumper guards:
How does this affect resale? Those bumper guards are placed there due to mandatory regulations. If removed, the vehicle obviously does not comply to those regulations. Would a dealership be willing to accept the vehicle back (if leased), would they refuse to take it as a trade-in? I would clear all the regulatory issues with someone who knows these things before going ahead with the modification.

I'm pretty certain the dealership would require you to return it to stock if leased.
For private sale, the new buyer probably won't notice, but I'm not sure how the insurance company would take it if there was bumper damage and they found out it was modified.

Pretty sure nobody would even notice.
Whether you can live with that on your conscious is another story.
