2013 C63 Coupe BS Conversion
In Canada it's called Tenorite Grey. I think it has a different name in the US.
Thanks!

Looks good. I had my old CLK63BS in light snow/ice a few times, it wasn't as bad as expected.

2013 C63 Coupe BS Conversion
A diffuser? You mean spacers? I'm contemplating it...we'll see in the spring, leaving it as is for now until the winter is over. It's *almost flush but ya, maybe 10mm off, just not sure it's worth it. We'll see.

Ya, the tenorite grey is like a very metallic gunmetal type color. I fell in love with it on a CLS before I ordered this car and had to have this color. My buddy has a CLS in Paladium but I preferred the darker shade. Plus, BS don't come in this color so a little unique My Rennens are color matched same color!

2013 C63 Coupe BS Conversion
Hey Andrew, I pay a couple hundred less than Meng for my brand new 2013 coupe. I'm with TD Meloche Monnex, they have amazing rates, at least for me. I have a clean record and considered a 6-star driver so my rates are very good. Give 'em a call.

I am with RBC I have multi discount, house insurance discount every discount they could possibly give. Including ones that they probably shouldn't because my brother and parents are insured with them too...

I am paying $1650 a year for a 2008 C63 Sedan. My car is also insured for leisure use as I don't commute to work. How old are you guys and maybe you live in remote areas that arn't high risk.

I'm 27

I have multi as well but my coverage is $842/yr on a 2013 Coupe. I'm 36 but not sure how much difference 36 and 27 is if you have a clean record. If you have speeding tickets or 'at fault' accidents, would be a difference maker for sure.

I'm 37 & paying 1400$ before storage.. With a clean record.. So I'm sure ur age has something to do with it. U will see a decrease in ur premium once u hit 30 & get married (if ur not yet) lol

WOW, lots of admiration from me, that is the absolute real deal as far as the looks department. It also looks amazing in the tenorite! Where are you located in ontario? Close to Ottawa, Meng likes to organize meets every so often

Craig is from Kingston.. And Nick, I'm planning a mega AMG meet in Kingston this spring.. So we can meet more members from Toronto & Montreal area.

I think Kingston is a good compromise half way for all of us... A bit far for Montreal members.. But I believe few of them will make the trip.

So Nick, hope u can join with ur SLS & maybe the cruise altogether to Kingston. Stay tuned!

It's going to be a great turn out this spring.. There is so many interest already cuz ppl are all happy to take their cars out when snow melts.

I will post some feeler date, time & location when spring approaches. It's always hard to please everyone, but I can tell u in it will be a Sunday noon thing, so ppl can make it a 1 day trip to where they come from.

For those who are working on Sundays, and really want to join.. Book that day off. Lol Well, we'll see, maybe Saturday might be a better day for everyone.
