Got my gorgeous '13 C63 a little over a month ago (thanks to Kiva, aka PurpleHeartAMG) but been too busy/lazy to post any pics. So, here she is. . .
I'm coming from an '05 C55, which loved dearly, but can't hold a flame to this amazing beast. I was dead-set on a 2016 Challenger SRT 392, until one day I heard a C63 coupe blow by our other car on the highway - the exhaust note instantly had me re-considering a C63 (reason I had taken it out of the equation was due to the "low" stock HP). Fast forward some months and the car above is delivered to my driveway on a Thursday evening. Bought it sight unseen and never really minded that.
Looks fantastic! Love those seat backs but I have a question. Where are your sidemarkers?
Thanks!!
Well, my friend, your guess is as good as mine! They were removed from the bumper by one of the previous owners, but I have seen then nicely hidden in the engine bay
Looks good! Can you post some more photos of your floormats? I remember a while ago a startup was peddling these mats claiming them to be superior to the same mats for sale on Aliexpress/Alibaba. Would love to see what they look like installed and how well fitted they are. Thanks!

Yeah, they're the Autopreme Premium Plus mats. Fitment is spot-on and quality is top-notch. The leather is really nice and install was cakewalk, but I wish they had included more little clips to keep the larger part of the mat in place. I reached out and they said they would not send me additional ones, which I found to be bad PR, especially since they're a startup and should be doing all they can to make a stellar impression. The only actual complaint about the mats themselves is that the removable smaller mat, on the driver's side, doesn't sit still and moves forward too easily.

I'll try and take some pics this week for ya
See 604, it's indirectly building up!
I have the same mats from adiguardusa.com they are slightly different but hey, fitment is perfect as well Maybe you'll catch on...just wait for a post next week. Those Chinese ones rip pretty easily, I tried some they are pretty thin and I wouldn't expect them to survive long.
Anyways I don't want to derail your thread. Congrats on the car! Favorite color!

Ok so like I said, I don't want to derail your thread but I have to say this;
THIS is unsafe.

I'm surprised autopreme can get away with that. The AdiGuard car mats don't do the same. Those could end up jamming the pedals. Make sure you have them secured properly, be safe. I know what you're thinking, but yes, it is possible.

The good news is that Mercedes and most Germany car manufacturers at least make a bottom hinged pedal so it is unlikely to be caught under that mat (and they also have brake over ride software). Unlike Toyota who made a top hinged pedal which is cheaper and more dangerous as it is easily caught on stuff and then save 2 bucks by not adding the 2 lines of software to over ride the throttle if the brake is applied.
Still not good that that mat fits that poorly though.

About time you showed up here! Nice to see it all cleaned up, hope you're enjoying it.

Sidemarkers were shaved by TomEspo (powdercoater floating around here and previous owner to me). I HATE the orange markers so this was perfect for me.

Same startup. I never put them in but it's nice to see raph got them in there.

Cheers buddy
Thanks boss! Yeah, I've been all sorts of lazy about posting, but yesterday, amidst one of my busiest days at work, I found the motivation to post while awaiting response from some other departments for this project I'm working on.
She's been an absolute joy every single day and very well taken care of, I can assure you. A few weeks ago I spent some hours and did a thorough exterior detail (wash, clay bar, Sonax wax, Wolfgang sealant) and the paint feels like baby buttocks now after every weekly wash.
I've said it before but will say it again - thanks again for the patience with the transaction and juggling it with rough personal matters. Much appreciated and definitely not forgotten
