Really sorry to hear about this.....
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I doubt they will get the Magno night black paint to match or look remotely close, and major components of your suspension are broken - most likely, it will never be the same again, you should total it out and start looking for a new one.
Good luck either way, and be glad you are okay.

Glad car is getting close to being fixed! If it was totaled would that increase the value of mine since there would only be 99 left in the country?
We should definitly meet up when it is finished, I'd love to see the new wheels and other parts you are adding durring the rebuild. Seeing what mine could look like with HRE wheels might be a bad idea though.... lol

Glad you are ok but I would definitely get rid of the car after the crash. You never know what real damage was done or what parts were weakened etc. It would eat me alive to know my car was repaired with that much damage. So sorry for you bud. If you can sell it or get it totalled you can buy a new one!

Wow, that looks like a lot of work. I totalled my first CPO C63 a year or so ago and was able to replace it with a newer CPO C63. What started out as a $5k initial estimate rose to the point where the insurance ended up totaling the car. As they tore into the car things started rapidly adding up. Keep in mind the whole front of the C63 is a whole different car than a normal C class. Ordering direct replacement parts directly from Alfalterbach is insanely expensive. I believe my damage looked worse than yours, but not by much. I was in a state of depression for a few months as police reports, insurance and not having a DD car seemed to all take it's toll. IN THE END, don't worry, you or others did not get hurt in the accident and you will have a fixed or new car in the near future. Why the "salamat", are you Pinoy?

I like how you put the title as My c63 got into a traffic accident as oppose to I get into an accident with my c63. LOL but others have said, the car is not going to be the same, you will scrutinize every little noise and anamolies when you drive the car. In the end just be glad no one was hurt.

If it was mine I would leave the markers out. No one likes them anyway. Not too big a deal so you will not likely get hassled by the popo for leaving them off.
