C43 Joined the garage today

My wife's new C43 was dropped off today. Pretty standard set up:

Selenite Grey
Titanium Multi Spoke 19" Wheels
Black Interior
Piano Black Trim
Premium Package
AMG Driver's Package
360 Camera

Have only driven it a few hundred yards down the street and back so no opportunity to get substantial driving impressions, but generally pleased with how it looks as well as the interior fit and finish. Overall it appears to be a nice step up from the CLA45, which this will be replacing.

Still need to figure out the winter wheel package so may be a few more days before it gets any serious driving time. I've purchased tires, but need to check if the winter wheels I have from the CLA will fit. Offset on CLA wheels are 3/4" closer to the axle so a chance they will rub.

Here is a picture with its stablemates, E63s, SL63 and CLA 45.

Forget the cars. I'm super impressed just by your garage!

Love the car though, looks great.

You have an E63s & an SL63? And your wife gets a C43?

Huh....Interesting to say the least

Thanks guys. I'm still plugging away on the final finishing of the garage but happy with how it's turning out. Here is a picture of the "workshop" area across from the lift.

Hey Sean1.8t, but what's wrong with the C43? It is an AMG afterall - ok or maybe the illegitimate b@$terd son of Tobias depending on who you ask, but let's not start that debate again in this thread

Congrats on the delivery OP. My thoughts echo what others have said here, very impressive garage! Did you do all the work yourself?

Ok, bigger question is who gets "stuck" with the GLK?
