C43 AMG Coupe
The facelift C43 grille (the one that looks like the pre-facelift C63 grille) is already available via certain parts channels, so I don't expect it to be long before the diffuser and tips show up for those interested

I am guessing you can just get the pipes? I am getting a 19, but am worried I might have been too late to get the black pipes added.

The E53 diffuser/tailpipe kit is now available from kunzmann for 959 EUR, so hopefully the C43 facelift one isn't too far behind and I would expect pricing to be very close.

Are you sure? Because you can get the 2018 C63 diffuser for the 2018 C43. From the picture you referred me to, the exhaust tip trim looks like it is for square tips...

looks like it's already on kunzmann. but I wonder if those are just exhaust tips or do they require a connection with the actual pipes.

Looks like there are a few on eBay as well. $400 - $600 for the round tips and new diffuser.

Price isn't too bad I guess, though I still prefer the C63 style pipes

Hi guys,

Here are the results. Looks great. Cost is about 2500USD, all done at AMG centre and with original parts.

Thanks for the update. Very nice. Is it just a direct swap of the diffuser without reworking the diffuser/original bumper?

I'm still asking around to see if it can be done here in Canada.

Let me know what you find out. I'm in Vancouver, and curious how much everything would cost as well.

Nice looking back end. Is that the night package edition you picked up

No rework of bumper is needed, its the same size as facelift one. They only changed the diffuser and endpipes, and some other stuff to hold everything in place. It was done at an AMG Centre in Stockholm, they order all the stuff needed and installed it. So any authorized MB dealer should be able to do this.

Yep, its night package and carbon wing and side mirrors.

Hi!

My dealer tells me that it's not possible to replace my diffuser and tips on my 2018 C43 AMG convertible with the 2019 parts. I am having trouble getting a straight answer!

Can you help or can anyone else confirm? !

Thanks!

Hi,

Sorry just playing catch up so ignore my previous note. Do you think this will work for the 2018 convertible too?

Thanks

Someone on ig posted his retrofit. He directed me to this source as well (same as a few posts above) but too bad the site doesn't ship to Canada.

I have asked 2 dealers in Toronto. The first one was a simple no it can't be done.
The second one initially told me that I'd have to swap the whole exhaust system since the 2019 sounds different. He thought that they are 2 different exhaust systems. Then he looked under the car and was surprised that the tips are just for looks. Suddenly, he became interested and said that I'm the first to ask but won't be the last for sure so he took the initiation to ask someone from parts when they return to work on the next day. However, I haven't heard back.
