C63 Coupe
Coupe with clear side markers

Can someone post someone post a picture of either clear or painted markers on a white coupe? I'm not sure what to go for

Thanks

Get the smoked. The stock amber is fugly and the clear is rather pedestrian but might look good on white.

Yah I plan on getting the 19" rims from the black series

And no, this is my first C63 and I am proud of it the matte hood only looks good sometimes but then the fact is that it is unique and makes me adore my baby even more Y(^_^)Y

I would love to get those too but unless you do body work, I've been told they won't fit. If you find out differently and know where to source them, let me know!!

Well I talked to the MB service department to get them to switch the stock amg rims that come with the winter package to the black series rims and they said they could do that. It seems to be just right, i believe it was something like 275 x 9.5 or something for the rears

I think its the BS Wheels 25 offset on the fronts that is the issue. 47 offset on the rears will be fine

I too would love BS wheels, but the black series is a widebody so I too doubt they will fit. Kinda like putting M3 wheels on a regular 3 series...not going to work. Are the Black Series wheels the exact same spec as the SLS wheel? If so, they are available now...anyone know someone with an SLS that wants to test fit?

If you get these successfully on the car with the BS offsets, PLEASE let us know (with pics) as I for one would be ordering set immediately!!

Those are the ones on the SLS and they are wider than the c63 black series ones. I believe the ones that I talked about with the service department are just similar style to the black series, but the measurements are slightly different because when i asked "are they guaranteed to fit on my c63?" they answered with a "yes they will. would you like some hot chocolate?"

Is your car with a beige interior? if so, can you PM me or post a pic? thanks!
Also, car looks great! You should matte black the whole thing!

The interior is actually redxblack. I am actually thinking about doing it reventon grey since the matte black thing is already done by the edition 1.

These might fit because these are NOT the C63 black series wheels. They look the same as the standard 16 spoke AMG wheel except in a 10 spoke design. If you look at the C63 BS wheel, they are very different.

That photo was just for the guy asking about the SLS... But the service guy specifically showed me the picture on the c63 BS as an example so I am going to take his word for it. ill go back sometime this week and get things straightened out since i am sort of doubting the fitment now based on what you guys have said

I just REALLY hope they are right on this as I would love to have those wheels too... Fingers and toes crossed until further notice.

Those look like they will work. There is a post on here about the 08-11 side markers fitting the 2012. It is by Rsquad911 and I see you did post to it.

I ordered the clear side markers.. I don't want to use the orange stock bulb and have that fried egg look, so what are my options? Bulb Size?
