Thank you very much for your positive comments Yazid! We had to jump through some hoops to make sure that the finish is perfect and everything fits well on the car before shipping them. Here are couple of pictures of Yazid's wheels finish and the fitment against the front brakes:
Hehe that reminds me, I'm sending the car to the MB dealer tomorrow morn for final checks on tire alignments. It looks and feels good in turns, which i believe the camber is negative. Will speak to the mechanics tom morn to maybe bring it all at neutral to balance tire wear.
Totally agree with you.. I am very impressed with the finish!I'd love it to have it deeper but once it went on.. it is actually a really good fit.. not too extravagant in terms of concavity.
as i mentioned to _AMG_ earlier in the post, just need to tidy up the exterior mods now Lol I didn't weigh the wheels.. will let you know once
i get the numbers.

Just to share with you guys on what's been happening on my side of the world after installing the ADV 10's on her..
As soon I had the chance, I sent her back to the one and only MB Dealer to redo the wheel alignment and so forth, which took the whole afternoon of last Friday. She's been in the MB Dealer's body shop since then.. why you may ask? I've requested them to perform some work on the cosmetics:
I've scheduled to pick her up tomorrow afternoon after they're done in doing some detailing tomorrow morning.
As I have mentioned previously in the post, please be patient as I will be doing a photo shoot soon

- Remove bottom chrome window seal and install second hand black window seal bought from a mate's W204.
- Remove polished upper door seal, black out and re-install.
- Remove rear trunk chrome part and install second hand blacked out part from mate's W204.
- Removed 3rd party CF rear trunk spoiler and re-installed black OEM spoiler (the CF spoiler cracked in several places, possibly due to the heat - not durable).
- Removed front fog light chrome casing, blacked out and re-installed.
- Remove OEM front grille (upper and lower), received Kicherer's CF starless grille, blacked out the upper OEM chrome part as well as the lower Kicherer CF grille and installed.
I've scheduled to pick her up tomorrow afternoon after they're done in doing some detailing tomorrow morning.
As I have mentioned previously in the post, please be patient as I will be doing a photo shoot soon

Cheers buddy!
CF grille is from the nice folks at Kicherer, Germany. They make a quality set and when shipped, the actual perimeter is chrome as it is an OEM part! So had to bring it into the panel shop and get some obsidian black on it! They only ship the bottom piece, hence the top piece on your hood need to be painted too.
Thanks buddy!
Hehe will get them cleaned soon.. its nearing to it's 2nd birthday at the end of the month.. so will get it done up on the next trip to the car detail specialists then for the overdue shoot!

I find it odd how in Brunei you can only buy the C63, but not any other C-class model? At least that's what it's like on the MB.bn website.
Also, how come they're so expensive? My car was like 120k AUD plus taxes, then in Brunei its 180k BND but I thought there was no tax in Brunei...

180K is the starting price on the road, can be negotiated if u have a good relationship and this amount includes tax! yes, there are taxes on motor vehicles. so this isn't a free tax country.. well there's no personal income tax anyways..

I have to say your car looks really good Yazid! When I was making the decision to get the C63 almost 3 years ago, this is the exact color and setup I imagined. I ended up going silver with no regrets, but the combo of the wheels and grille really make your car look mean yet classy at the same time!
