Cheesiest part of C63...

That cheapo fabric at the bottom of doors. I mean, come on. Gotta be something better than that for us. $10 in materials would do it.

+3 door pins. When I replaced them I was shocked as were MB techs at how cheap they are. Pure plactic and the cheap stuff as well. Makes you wonder.

Cause it would make the least expensive AMG also the fastest AMG. It would pretty much kill their own market.

That reminds me, I have to pick up a set of those AMG door pins.. Also, the rubber dash and console is pretty cheesy.

That is ok because we can get it back with a tune. Not sure if the next C AMG version will share the same poweplant. If not, consider ourselves lucky.

Tell me about it!!! Mine already got scuffed up. The Interior in the ML350 is more durable then the C63, I'm not even kidding.

Door pins hands down! second would be the over abundance of chrome everywhere else, especially exterior.
I actually dont mind the fabric on the door bottoms, its better than the cheapo plastic they use in the rest of the dash etc.

The really unfortunate thing about those doorpins is they're exactly what you'll find in the E63 AMG too.

Orange side markers and door pins. I also don't like the gear shifter. Great thing is, all of those are simple to change.

The seats are great, They could have definitely used better quality leather. Is the leather the same as in the CLK63 black series too?

I think the black series door pins are the same, but come on... who cares about the freakin' DOOR PINS?!

That is probably what the bright-a$$ MBA said at a cost cutting board meeting.

I do. No way a $65K car should have anything so glaringly cheesy visible to the eye. An additional $100 in materials would have made a huge difference inside these cars.
