I didnt know! the bumper just came in and the rest of the parts except the break cap. back ordered.

Good luck either way, and be glad you are okay.

I tried pick my shop wisely. they said they contacted the people who supply MB with there paint and is going to get it from them? ya new suspension getting installed. dang im getting scared now. i keep emailing them i want photos of pre paints to practice. well see, thanks for help.

We are currently about 4 weeks production. Keep that in mind, since we many other companies are quoting 3-5 months.

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

just pray that it gets buttoned up nice and tight. no play, no weird noises/movements.

looks bad, but pics tend to lie. (i hope)

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!

Dude, don't be silly. Get rid of it NOW before the carfax gets updated! The car will never be like it was before! NEVER. Trade it in for another C63, trust me, you don't wanna keep it.

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.
