2013 C63 Coupe BS Conversion
Ya, just got the car today and now I'm thinking hood in the spring...arghhh...mod addiction is so bad! That carbon fiber one is interesting!
And of course didn't badge it BS...it's not and that was never my intention. I must say the concavity of my wheels is a little wild...didn't realize how concave they were until seeing them on the car. I guess without the E axle, I was able to get super aggressive on the offset, +21 and wow it shows!

Maybe Craiger is waiting on replacement credit cards after melting his!

Car looks great. If there was a less drastic, but nice looking way of widening the rear fender wells, I'd be on it. Just haven't seen a good option outside of what you have done.

2013 C63 Coupe BS Conversion
Thanks again guys. Yes, every single part is OEM Black Series, except the trunk lip spoiler and wheels which as Meng said are Rennen M10s. I must tell everyone that this is a very expensive project and requires a body shop who are unreal at what they do. My body shop is unbelievable but are also an MB body shop so were able to overcome quite a few obstacles because of their experience. I'm not saying others can't do it but expect there to be complications along the way. Look at my earlier pics alone where they fab'd the rear fender support...talking to the shop, said it was very challenging to say the least. I'm blown away at the end result and the lead guy on the job treated it as though it was his own car. Everyone thought I was crazy doing something like this, at least over here and once they saw the final product, they couldn't believe how it turned out and agreed that my crazy-ness paid off
As said above too...my credit card needs to cool off before any other projects are undertaken, I'm done at least until Spring!

Do you have any photos of the rear fender support they needed to create? Brilliant work overall, just a beautiful color, great build.

I saw his car FS at a Toronto dealership few months ago, I'm not sure if it's sold yet.

SheryYao, yeah I was surprised as well.. But his wife never liked his modding addiction (same as my wife) lol

2013 C63 Coupe BS Conversion
Hey guys, ya, don't post much around here any longer. The car is sold and was sad to see it go. I put a ton of time and effort and $ into my conversion but my wife and I went through some personal issues which led me to sell the car. I miss my car but my personal life takes priority over a vehicle any day. ...and I'm sure I'll join the AMG club again in the future, who knows what crazy mods I'll do next

i'm assuming you traded it in since it ended up at a dealership? did they give you a fair amount? i would imagine that looking for a private sale would have been more beneficial for you although a potentially longer wait in finding the right buyer.

Roswell - any idea which dealership in Toronto and whether it sold? I would be interested in having a look and possibly picking it up if it's still available...
