Wow, perfect tint.. Not too dark, just perfect! I guess u went 35% all around?

I agree with Maverick, change ur sidemarkers & tint the tails a bit. I did the reverse portion of my tails with a light tint.. It looks so much better as most MB reverse light come tinted stock.

I like the color, it's very refreshing on a Mercedes.
But that white interior... Ummm makes it look a little like a girly car...

Color is great and the car looks awesome!!!

I see the "mod" bug has already hit you and you will spend hours looking at the car and thinking about ways to make it look like you want it to. Thats the fun part!! Enjoy as I know you will and be safe!! These cars are a BLAST!!!!!!

I agree! I need to find some clear side markers. I'll try to photoshop the subtly smoked tail lights to see what they look like.

Yes, 35% all around. I'll definitely look into getting the side markers and tail lights tinted.

Haha..."beautiful" is the first adjective that came to my mind when I saw this color combo, unlike "muscular", "brute".etc when I first saw my steel gray C63. Now I think it just looks classy!

Thanks! I agree, these cars are a lot of fun. There is nothing that sounds like the naturally aspirated 6.2. As far as modding is concerned, I'll try to stay stock for as long as I can .

The more I look at the car, the less I like the orange side markers. So what do you guys think? Should I go for clear or smoked side markers?

my wife bananas! :D
LOL it's about time. No where else on the car is orange so these bad boys stick out like a sore thumb

clear if you want a more clean look
smoked if you are going for a more dirty look.

btw, there is a set of side markers on ebay that has a black housing but clear plastic cover (not smoked). So it looks black and dark without the smoked feel to it... I went with that for my C63 and I really like it.

Incredible color combination. Looks stunning and unique! Im loving it! Regarding the side markers, it's a matter of personal preferance. I decided to go with smoked.
Here is the link where I got mine. Very happy with them.

How do I go about this? Does anyone sell matching paint?

That looks great! Thanks for the picture. Now if I could only visualize what it would look like on Quartz Blue, it would be much easier to make the decision .

Late to the party but love the color- so vibrant in the light and at dusk...


Paint the markers to match color as mentioned- any body shop can do it and your color code is on your driver's side door jam...

I think its C230... (the c denotes nano paint)

Thanks Vic! I'm also leaning that way. Maybe I'll pick up these pre-painted markers from Evosport:

Paint them the same colour as the car! Any bodyshop will match the colour and paint them for you! The ebay markers look really cheap IMO

I was thinking that color C63 would look good next to my orange evo as I was scrolling down and saw the Lotus haha!

Beautiful Purchase man! Congrats

Yeah, that's Lake Elsinore in the background. Ortega Highway is a lot of fun indeed. I usually do that drive in my Lotus, but decided to take my C63 this time. It was a lot of fun!

Thanks for the suggestion. Does anyone have recommendations for a body shop in Orange County California?

lol. The Chrome Orange Lotus definitely added some color to my life. Before that car, I used to buy only more reserved colors like gray and black. That changed the moment I saw the Lotus.

That's not my car. I think another member on MBWorld is selling an almost identical car (minus CF package). He also posted here a while ago.
