Hey guys,

Just picked up my new C63. I have been waiting over 4 months for the beast and just took delivery. Sorry for the bb pic but spending more time driving than shooting pics Will be broken in within the next 2 weeks and then off for full Black Series body conversion. I have the parts and body shop ready to go so in a month's time, this car will look like a completely different animal. Stay tuned for updates...

Pickles

Looks like a lovely car, "As Is".
Are you going to be using O.E. B.S. parts for the conversion?
I am REALLY looking forward to following this, so please provide "comprehensive" info, & pics of stripdown/build etc.
Good luck with it all.
Cheers, Pickles.

Congrats. Man, 4 months is a long time. I'm still waiting, as well, and I'm getting impatient right now. :P

Congrats on your car! Please post some pics from the conversion process! Can't wait to see the end result

Craiger

Thanks guys. Yes, all parts are OEM BS parts, the list is quite extensive, I have about 50 part #s in total. The conversion is 'fairly' straight forward with the exception of the rear quarters. That is where the majority of the work is but I'll be sure to document the process to show you guys all the details. The car will stay tenorite grey. I love the color so plan on keeping it that way. My new wheels are also color-matched tenorite grey as well and are very aggressive due to the ability to use a much different offset with the widened fenders. I've attached a pic of them. I'm excited to get the conversion started, likely 3-4 weeks of work to completion so I'm estimated late November by the time it's ready...just in time to park it for the winter

Roswell

Holly Craiger!! Nice choice on the wheels.. Monoblock FTW! Love the fact they look similar to the BS wheels. I'm sre the color matched will look amazing on ur car. Props for going all out on this project.

Edit: specs on the wheels pls?

Craiger

Thanks Meng! Ya, I love the OEM BS wheels so definitely wanted to stick to that style. Because of the widened fenders, these are the specs:
F 19" x 9.0 +21
R 20" x 11.0 +29.5
I will be a very aggressive stance. Tires on the rear are 305s

Roswell

Any reason as why u went double staggered?

And r those the stock BS offset? If not, how did u came up with this measurement for ur wheels offset? Sounds impressive! Lol

GrnLantern

Btw, which BS conversion kit are you going with?

AERO!!

He said he's using all OEM Mercedes parts

Craiger

No, they are not stock BS offsets. Remember that the BS has a wider track than standard C63 so I had to account for that. I went very aggressive taking into consideration the wider fenders but not the wider track. Allowed me to go with a pretty extreme setup.
And ya, all OEM MB parts. Wasn't cheap but if I was going to do this, I was going to do it right. Not a fan of some of the fiberglass alternatives so I went the OEM route.
Can't wait to get it started!

VividRacing

Yeah, those are going to be super wide with a very low offset. Should look awesome

Pickles

This is going to be an AWESOME+++++++ thread.
Cheers, Pickles.

Craiger

Thanks Arsha & Pickles, looking forward to getting to update this thread with some pics of the conversion!
