Talking Just purchased a 2012 C63 sedan (P30)!

Good afternoon everyone. I've been lurking and occasionally posting on the forum, but yesterday I picked up a 2012 C63 sedan - black on black.

Mods are going to be purely cosmetic, since I'll be picking up a Lamborghini LP570-4 this fall to satisfy hardcore performance needs. Anyways, I ordered AMG illuminated door sills, AMG door pins, and the AMG key caskets. I also ordered the DEPO smoked side marker lights from fishcake321 on eBay. The car will also be going to the body shop next week to have most of the chrome pieces painted.

As for wheels, I'll probably join the black-on-black crowd that has ADV10.1SL's. I may do the Mode Carbon deck-lid spoiler, and I'm contemplating the OEM Black Series hood, although all said and done it will probably run a little over $3k...

Anyways, here's a crappy iPhone pic. I'm going to make a GoPro video of the exhaust soon too.

Sweet, congrats. But who cares about another C63. Post up pics of the Lambo when you get it!

Lol duly noted, will do. I want a white one, so with only about 15 white, non-spyder LP570's in the US, the search could be mildly challenging to say the least without some lucky timing (there are more including the Super Trofeo Stradale, but that's out of my price range). Luckily Ed Bolian at Lambo Atlanta thinks he can manage it...

C63 P30 PP
the P30 package is not available on the facelit c63s or after 2010 if im correct.
p30 includes 2 piece brakes, AMG track calibrated suspension and the limited slip diff. From what i can see your vehicle lacks the brakes, on the other hand, congrats, shes beautiful and the lp570 is on another level of amazing, especially in white

That makes sense - the salesman must not have known what I meant when I asked if it had the P31 development package and called it the "regular P30," which I assumed was the correct nomenclature . Mods please correct my newbie error.

Hopefully I can find a white LP570, so we'll see... I've test driven an LP550-2 Balboni, regular LP560-4, and an LP570-4 - some of it was probably mental, but the LP570 felt unreal compared to the others.

getting the packages confused is normal bro.
on the other hand the p31 package has the red calipers and 1.5 piece brakes..
the p30 package is more for a tracking setup, not regular in any sense

Does anyone know the bulb type or of a US source for the "wing mirror downlighter LEDs" (mirror puddle lamps) that CKS Performance offers?

Bump, anyone? The Sylvania bulb guide doesn't list that bulb...
