Facelift C63s Diffuser Valence Retrofit Complete

Hello

no modifications to any parts needed. Truly plug and play and bolt on for sedan pre facelift.

This is a facelift c63s diffuser retrofitted to a pre facelift sedan w205.

I have finally had some time to post up my latest mods. This is one of my favorite. I installed the C63s diffuser and exhaust tips in night package. You have to swap out almost all of the underlying brackets for diffuser and exhaust tips. I used oem rivets for re attachment. Make sure if you dont use oem rivets to use stainless or aluminium hardware so they do not rust! took a few hours to complete!


Went from this...

To this!

That looks outstanding! Definitely looking for something like this for my 16' C63. Was it a fairly straightforward install and if so, where is this available for purchase? Thanks!

Same question. Any spacing issues?

Looks awesome. I’d like to do the same thing, or the dual round pipes. Is it OEM, or aftermarket kit?

These facelift exhaust tips are slightly larger than the pre-facelift tips right? They seem more square than rectangular from this perspective.

That looks great! I like it much more than my pre-FL setup I have on mine. About how much did this run you to get all the parts? Do you have the part numbers?

sorry for the delay. i bought it off a local guy who does retrofits in Michigan.

he listed them on ebay for other stuff and thats how i found him. i was the first customer of his so he helped me install and take some pics for his ad.

he has the S version here where i bought it.

I think he also has the base version. just search his name. he also did my wireless charger retrofit.

rears bolt on. fronts need 12mm spacer. they are w204 OEM 507 AMG c63 wheels. I actually had them for sale a few months ago but nobody wanted them. They are true forged wheels but no one wants to pay the price so i decided to run them in the winter

yes i believe they are slightly larger. I like this diffuser more than original because it is not a pain to detail the old one has a texture that is a detailers nightmare.

i bought online on ebay from a local retrofitter. expensive but everything was brand new oem and fit perfect with no mods. it was worth it for me not dealing with a headache. 2 hours later it was installed.

These are 19x8 et45 and 19x9 et 54? These fit on stock ride height front with 12mm spacer? What tire and size are you running? I was looking at those rims a while back but didnt think they'd fit based on the "c450 wheel fitment guide" thread. Also didnt see you post regarding selling them. Now I'm interested.

i wrote the wheel fitment guide specifically fitting those wheels lol. currently for my winter setup i run 15mm spacer front with 245/40/19 michilin pilot alpin 5 and rear 5mm spacer 275/35/19. this has a little more cushion.

when i ran these wheels in the summer i used 235/40/19 and 265/35/19.

Hmm ok. The 245 width tire threw me off, as I had seen that even a 235 was a very tight fit. Still interested in selling?

everything is for sale for the right price. but probably not at this point unless the offer was too good to pass.

I spoke with DanjMart and he is very knowledgeable with this conversion and going to buy his kit by end of the week! Thanks Star4life for recommending him!

Any tips on how to remove the valence? The clips seem pretty tight, and there are so many of them!
