My Exterior Mods are Totally Finished - Mini Shoot

So I picked up my car on the 30th of August 2012 and while at first, I was in love with everything about it, I later decided to start a modding spree which has recently come to an end.


Today I spent around 3 hours cleaning it, mostly inside, so decided to take it a mile from my house to take some photos of it.


My most recent work is as follows:

Tinted front headlights and rear white tailights 10%.
Fitted Hong Kong ordered 2010+ style lights on it and left them black to go with the theme of the car.
Foiled the tail light surrounds.
Put a foiled roof spoiler on the rear.
Debadged the star logo of the boot and painted the AMG emblem the same color as the callipers I had painted.
Put new 19" SLS style wheels on with 285s on the rear and 245s on the front (almost flush).
Foiled the roof black.
Foiled the grille black.
Painted the mesh on the front bumper.
Did a resonator delete with stainless steel straight pipes and later did a secondary cat delete with X pipes.
Had an OE Tuning tune to run 98 ron fuel and a few other things.


Love everything about this car but I am not quite decided on the chrome star on the grille? Should I black it completely out? What do you think?


If I do decide to do anything else with this, it will be a supercharger but that won't be for a while now.

I know it may not be to everyone's taste but I love everything about it.

Thank you Roswell

The rear C63 badge, well I debadged it. Then I went into a shop to find out the price of a new grille and while there I saw an S63 badge in black chrome. I asked if they had the same badge for the C63 and he said not. So I got the S63 badge and dropped off the C. Now I'm searching high and low for the same but can't find it anywhere.

Wow! Looks really nice. Not feeling the CF trims on your tail lights though, it's too much.

Thanks Lyyca appreciate the comment,

I thought so as well and I'm not fully sure what to do. They were originally chrome, then painted matte black but then the paint started peeling so while I was in doing the roof in black, I did the tail lights. I might go back to black but gloss to match the roof, grille and mirrors.

Thanks c63addix,

I actually just removed the V multispoke black 19s and passed them on to a member on here. The reason I didn't like them is it's very hard to see what a black wheel really looks like as it just merges with the rubber so I wanted something else. I may, may, but not decided yet, paint them the same color as the car. The silver parts, not the inner parts on the spokes.

A drop, I was contemplating but out in Dubai we have quite a lot of bumps and bumpy roads in some areas and I'd keep damaging the front lip and bottom part of the bumper.

Looks fantastic! Tell me more about the 285s in the rears. Want to know:

1) What tires?
2) Wheel width and offest?
3) Did it rub?

Pretty unique color scheme you got there. Not for me, but to be consistent, I recommend you wrap the star in the grill with the same CF vinyl you used to wrap other parts of the car.

Thanks Sincity,

Tires are Nitto Invo 285/30/19 rear.

Offset of the wheels are +35.

The reason I can get away with it? My fenders are custom made and added just over 40mm

I put a 5mm spacer on today and it was hellaflush but don't want to ride with spacers if I can avoid it.

Thanks Fung,

It does look nice but to be honest with you, for my liking, it's a bit too plain just having the 6.3 AMG badges up against the body paint. The cf foil behind it, kinda makes it shine.

I guess everyone has their own preferences

The offset of the rear wheels are et35? What width? When you say fenders, did you mean the rear quarters? Fenders are in the front and quarter panels are in the rear.

EDIT-Nevermind. I see you listed custom rear quarter widening. Wow.....very subtle. I had to run out and look at mine to notice the difference. Nice job! I was hoping somewhow you were able to squeeze 285s in the rear without making any changes to the body.

This is not really my style but i wanted to congratulate you on your modds.
As long as this suits your style, likes and needs.
Good work .
I still think you should have kept your 19" black OEM. A shame you sold yours already as I would have been interested.

Well damn! I hope you don't get stopped by the police, because that C63 is pure car ****.

Looks great, I may have stopped with the CF rear lights, but awesome upgrades.

VERY nicely done! I would black out the star but thats a personal preference.
I would also kill the green emblems and make them all black but they do match the calipers so I understand where you are coming from. I just think its a bit much on the car.

Its your car so keep it the way you want. Again, very nicely done!! ENJOY!!!
