So Matt... Do you have interior cf pieces for the w212 or what's the deal?

Y'all are bad influences.

 

Told u

 

Congrats bro! Beautiful car.

 

Not at the moment but we can work it out

 

Congratulations! Good to see you back in another beast.

 

Small update for my frens.

So, Spring is still Winter for me. We got hit with a record wind storm where I live and just had that Northeast snow storm Stella roll through. That said, I did send my car off for much of the same treatments my c63 had, and then some.

As it sits now:
- H&R springs / links
- Spacers
- RW carbon front lip and rear spoiler. Have roof spoiler on my couch and I also have a Mode Carbon Luftstrom CF rear diffuser on the way.
- Car has night package, but the 14's came with silver trim. Replaced all of it with OEM black trim.
- Painted front grille, door handles, and all badges as well.
- Ceramic Pro coated (car and wheels)

To come:
I am in the system at EC Toronto to have RADO catless DP's installed, stg 2 tune, colder plugs and new coilpacks. Just have to wait for the weather to clear to make the trip. I'll also hopefully get the roof spoiler on and rear diffuser soon.

Once everything is together I'll get real pictures together done by someone who can actually take pics unlike myself.

I'll do my best to keep updating this thread as this seems to be a popular option for some c63 owners to move into and will keep giving you my impressions of the car. So far so good but in the 5/6 months of ownership I may have put 1000 or so miles on it because of Winter. Moving into Spring/Summer I'll have more to share.

Cheers!

Looking good

 

That front lip is beautiful!

 

beautiful

 

Gorgeous.

 

Looks awesome.

 

Looks good. Did you paint all that stuff while it was on the car? Emblems too? Thats scares the beep out of me, but I am a total hack with that stuff.

 

Thanks all! I love this car and it just kills me not to drive it. I'm almost at my wits end and will probably take it out soon just because.

I had the pro's do it. Everything was removed from the car and sprayed in a paint booth. I understand that there are other (cheaper) ways to go about painting things that are still good. But I'm going for the "best" / closest to an OEM quality type of job so it seems like the car came this way.

Also, never paints things while they are still on the car. Plastidip, fine. Paint, no. You're asking for trouble.

 

 

That thing is gorgeous.

 

Wow... looks unreal. Perfect drop and nice clean mods. Keep it up.

 

Another small update (and pictures, yay!) So, I am driving from Rochester NY to Toronto on Thursday (3/30) to have catless downpipes installed along with new coilpacks, colder plugs, and stg 2 tune. Will post results.

As for the ceramic coating and everything, I got some pictures back on those. This applies to everyone (not just the E specifically) but in the wheel pictures you will see two wheels that have both been properly cleaned and only one has been ceramic coated. Changes the wheel entirely and it looks incredible. It also makes cleaning VERY easy and the ceramic on the car makes water pour off like an over rain-x'd windshield. I love this stuff.

I have a CF diffuser from Mode Carbon (hopefully on its way soon.......) and would like to drop the star on the trunk 1/2'' or so. Not big on how it is tucked up into the spoiler but okay for now.

 

Car looks amazing man. Are you going to be lowering the badge yourself? I agree its a bit high up.

 

I could. But I'll just have it done when the diffuser gets put on. Mode has been very responsive since I placed my order for the diffuser a few months ago and will hopefully hear that it has shipped by the end of next week.

The star was one of those last minute things I noticed. It's no biggie and will get done. Just part of the process of getting things just right.

You know what, eff it, I think I have some emblem specific double sided tape laying around. Maybe I'll do what I can here in a bit.

 

^^^ Scratch that. abcut pointed out to me that I am sort of screwed there for now. There are three holes in the trunk the star pops into. I'll have to live with it for now. The only option that comes to mind would be going badgeless and plugging the holes.

 

Thanks for posting that pic. Motivation to do that application and get my summers on now that I am back from spring break vacation.

 

Looks fantastic! White Es always look so good!

 

Purple, the car looks absolutely stunning! One of the best E63's i have seen.

 

Beautiful, keep up the good work.
