I say go for it!
IMO, the wings really make the c63 look like a JDM car..
If I were you, i'd trade it with the xenon one
good luck!

First of all, it blows my mind that an exclusive upper tier car does not come with xenon standard.

Are you going to track it? If not, get the xenon car. If you are, switch out the bulbs with super yellows and reaaaally make it look like a track car

Ditch the wings get the xenon. I'd be more interested in an LSD!

I was not aware a BS was available without the light pkg w/xenons..There was no option code for that on my car. Perhaps this is a 2013 option ?? or a Canadian or European option as it appears both cars pictured have front plate holes non US.
In any event, I purposely did not get the AERO pkg for my car, as I was not pleased with both the height and size of the wing as well as the look of the support struts. IMHO it just looks loke an aftermarket bolt on.

OOPS of course they r not US cars..No PANO roof or orange side markers... ME stupado this AM

Don't want to hurt your feelings but having a BS with no xenons is like wearing a $2000 Armani suit with gym shoes....doesn't look right. Get the xenons and get the wings etc later.

I'm from South Africa, all the BS with aero and track package didn't come with xenons

i like the car the way it is spec'd, it has everything besides xenons

but i also think the car looks a little more slick without the wing

such a tough decision to make

That is BS (Pun intended) I can't believe Mercedes would option out a car and NOT make Xenons STANDARD! This is a Black Series we are talking about.

I can understand non xenon option for a regular C63....well sorta.

Come on MB!

In europe everything is optional, so you can build it anyway you like. Wasn't aware it was like that in SA too. Now I wonder about the other markets.

i would get the car with the wing and splitters first and then add the xenons . the car was built to be a track car and it should look like a track car . it's very inexpensive to add xenons and you can get whatever color or look you want from the xenons . contact XENONKING.COM for any style you want

turn it around the other way and say you buy the car with xenons and no wing and splitters . now say you want to add the wing and splitters later . what do you think the cost of that is going to be later on if you don't get it now ?

adding xenons to the car - inexpensive
adding the wing and splitters later -

I like the aero pack! Just check if you can get change the headlights! It will probably cost a lot of money but I'm sure it will be worth it!

If I were you, I would buy a pare of xenons for the my BS. Only the wing cost about 5.000 $, don't know the price of the flaps but I think the xenons are cheaper

I totally agree with this. Try to buy a pair of xenons now instead of trying to add the aero package later on. It will probably be more cost effective particularly if you like the way the car is at the moment.
For sure not having xenons on such a car is a bit weird but you dont really notice it at first (i didn't). I was much more impressed by the body work on this car that i didn't realize there were no xenons . And once you get it that is the only thing you see when you look at it !lol!

Anyway, are you in Jo'burg? I've seen a bunch of nice cars in sandton area when i was working there back in 2010

Yes, these last few posts have a lot of common sense. Just buy the xenon headlights and put them onto your car. Doing a xenon retrofit, even with OEM parts will be much cheaper than adding the aero kit to your car.

I was also going to say to let the prices make the decision. The headlights should be fairly easy to DIY.

Oh man, MB made non-US spec C63BSC's without the lighting pkg standard? That's harsh.

MB is being more cheap and cheap. They don't even put a full size spare tire on the trunk. I hate them sometimes.

Hi! Firstly, I'm also in South Africa so must meet up so I can see the beast

I've seen one with the aero pack, really makes the car but so do the lights.
But considering its a black series the aero pack should be there, car is for performance! But up to you

Few manufacturers still do. I think the new BMWs don't even have spares because of runflats.

Yes Bimmas use runflats.
Do you think for performance cars manufacturers select tiny spare or runflats for cost purposes or just to gain weight?

I'd rather get the track package over the lighting. BS without the track package looks naked!
