Good luck bro.
One question.
BS style wheels, OEM BS body parts etc. How much different is the price of the C63 coupe than the C63 BS over there?
I'd imagine BS parts must cost a fortune!

2013 C63 Coupe BS Conversion
I couldn't find a BS, that was the biggest problem. The only ones available were going for well above SRP. No, this project wasn't cheap, but in the end, I think I'll be very happy with the look of my new car. I can tell you that it was still cheaper than a BS!
3 days to go!!!!

Oh, by the way ask them to drop it a bit more... you still have lots of space there. And the wheels looks flush as is, maybe no spacers needed afterall.

Those are already maxed...the gaps were huge. I can live with the way they are now, slightly lower than stock.
Thanks for all the comments everyone!

Sorry for the bad bb pics...I only have today to drive, into storage tomorrow before the storm hits here. It's done and I'm ecstatic with the results. I couldn't be happier. Will do a proper photoshoot when I have the time. Thanks for all your comments guys and hope you all like the final result!

Wow!! The car looks amazing Craiger, I'm thinking of trading mine in for a Coupe aswell. After seeing how yours turned out I'm thinking of going the same way about a conversion. Great job man!!

Speaking of that, I almost caused 3 accidents from people turning their heads as I drove by in about a 10-minute period. Eeeeeee.
Thanks for the compliments guys, I'm on cloud nine right now!
Dropped by my dealer and he asked if he could display in their showroom for their grand re-opening. He was blown away with the end product

Good stuff you didn't badge it BS 
By the way what's the tire size in the front?
Since your are maxed out on the coilovers you can try bigger tires to fill the gap. Just a thought.
