C43 Coupe C205 2016
C43 Coupe Exterior convert C63 D1 Edition Need Help
Hello,
I'm new and have some burning questions about exterior parts for the C43. I would like to attach certain parts such as the rear diffuser as well as a side skirts and the front of the C63 Day 1 Edition. How do the parts of the C63 C205 or W205 fit the C205 C43 Coupe? I've been searching a lot but I've never been able to answer my questions. And where can i find those parts? I saw an existing part diagram of the c63 edition one rear bumper.
I got myself a C43 Amg Coupe C205 from 2016/2017 with Amg Exterior Line if those info is relevant.
Thank you for your help and a nice evening.

You are probably going to have a tough time finding help because of your title. Not many on the board would approve you trying to turn a C43 into a C63, but after reading your description, it doesn't sound like you are trying to pull off a fake C63.
I would look on mbpartsworld and aliexpress, but you may have to buy some of the parts through an my dealer.
PLEASE don't put 63 badges on your 43.

The rear diffuser and exhaust tips have been done by many people. See eBay for parts. I've never seen the front done. Having said that, you'll need to check the specs of both to see whether they are the same size. Good luck tracking down the info you need.

Fake badges just represents a fake person not content.
Even debadging is fine.
The thing is the C43 has its own unique identity in the C class lineup and in my heavily biased opinion is the best bang for your dollar when you consider all the variables at play.

You won't be able to fit a front bumper and hood. You'll need new fenders as well. Also the C63 is wider in the front too. For the money you are looking to spend on posing are the same as you'd have purchased a real C63.

This. You will be spending an enormous amount of money doing this. It has been done before. Someone successfully converted their C300 body into the C63s in this forum. You have to search for it. But it was not cheap. And ofcourse that was a C300. Your C43 is just what 15 grand cheaper than the C63? Just get the real deal. Way better investment.

Wasting money to mod a car to appear to be like the car you really wanted doesnt make sense.
I mean you better off buying a 2nd hand C63.

Rear diffuser and exhaust tips will be easy.
Front clips do not match between the '43 and the '63. This would require extensive modification to pull off. Totally not worth it IMO but it's your car and your money. FWIW, I would never buy a used car with this kind of Frankenstein body mod.
I think you should wait and upgrade the diffuser and exhaust to match the facelift 2019 c43 with the rounds tips. Looks way better than both the C63 and older C43 IMO.

Here's the front bumper. The seller also has the rear diffuser for sale.
The c63 rims you can get from PowerWheelPro, they are a vnedor on here.

Alibaba have loads of chinese suppliers for this Mod,good wuality,its an easy switch over of front c63 bumper same as rear diffuser,its cheap to buy about £300 but postage is around the same as you pay for the item unfortunately,, but if its waht you want do it it,who cares about what others on here approve of,its your car and if it makes you happy go for it,
Ive did it in the past with c class 205 saloon cars, front bumper diffuser, ,the next one I did the whole front end, bonnet,wings and bumper with rear diffuser, looked awsome on an oil burner :-)
After hard negotiation with suppliers,I bagged the whole front end kit cost arounf £650 then shipping £550 = £1200 all good quality parts, alloy wings, bonnet,good fitment looked awesome.
