(My old PFL and my now FL c63)
Hi MBWorld,
I recently purchased my 11 c63 bone stock. Like with any other car I've owned, I tend to spend money I promised myself I wouldn't on mods. It's an itch that I can't seem to make go away.
This Journal will not include crazy power, superchargers, build motors, at least not any time soon. This Journal will be simple. My personal journal to share my car, my taste, as well as where I purchased my parts.
Feel free to comment, share and ask questions. Criticism is welcomed as much as a compliment.
First Day, bone stock (except the tint):
I immediately changed all the fluids in the car, which included engine oil, transmission fluid, etc...as I do with all my cars.
I came across a thread on this forum, where member "Gary@Suvneer" was offering a too good to be true deal on these. I jumped on it, thinking, what's the worst thing that could happen, they don't fit?
Overall, I was very satisfied with the skirts. One side was off by 1-2mm, but it didnt make too much of a difference to a naked eye.
I debated for four weeks on which lip to get. I wanted something that was aggressive but simple at the same time. After debating, I decided to purchase a lip from JL Motoring. Price was affordable which worked with my budget. The fitment is near perfect. I dont think that there is a lip out there that will fit 100% perfectly, I think, unless you take a heat gun to it. I was again very satisfied with my decision.
Test fitting side skirt extensions,
Lip installed,
Final outcome,
Another picture of side skirts and front lip. Apologies for poor quality shot.
I kept looking at the front of the car and it felt like it need more love. I decided to purchase some eye lids for the headlights, to set it off a a bit more. I searched and found a trusted seller on ebay, who not only sells them, but was willing to paint them in a matching color of my car. Yet again, I am very happy with the result. I felt like it really push the front look to another level.
Pictures,
One side installed for comparison,
Both sides installed,
Custom Plate,
Not a mod, but I did get a custom plate. No, it's not the type of DOMO that you're thinking of, . DOMO represents my son and my daughter who share the initials of DO and MO.
Get rid of those demon hellspawn orange side markers of doom.
I see the mirrors already have the FL housing on them. If you like the look of the FL headlights, you could also go the depo route. One of many threads for depo install - https://mbworld.org/forums/c63-amg-w...r-install.html
Update the tail lights to FL (if you are into the look/style).
Spoiler, something bigger could make the car look more aggressive.
Wheels/tires, always transforms the car.
Change the trim color. Wrapping a the trunk chrome piece, the window trim, the fog light housings, or even the front grill can help add to the look. Do it all or only a couple pieces, fun/easy/cheap mod.
You could always do black vinyl wrap. That's what I did. No chrome to be found
Hey,
Where did you get your headlight eye lids? I think I like yours better and may order the ones that you have... just maybe. Is it the angle or do yours really cover more of the headlight?
Which vinyl wrap did you use and how satisfied are you with the outcome.

Can't remember on the eyelids, but the wrap was done at Sunsational in CharlottE, NC. I think it was 3M. Very pleased with it. It's worth the drive to have him do it.
Nothing but good things to say about Eurocharged. I haven't tried any other tunes so I can't compare, but Eurocharged gets a recommendation from me.
Eurocharged is who I'm leaning towards.
Here is a sneak video that the shop did for their facebook page. These guys are awesome. If you're ever in the Atlanta area, visit their shop, Eurofed Automotive and EF Automotive.
You can barely notice that anything was done to the car if I drive normally, keeping it under 2k RPM. But boy!!!! Does it scream at WOT... it almost sounds like an angry F1 car.
Congrats on the new car. Loving the mods so far. Looks awesome, and must sound great with the MBH Headers.
Did you end up getting the Eurocharged tune?

I am very impressed with how the car drives.

Anything that was chrome or silver I had done.
You car looks awesome.
What is the colour of your wheels. It looks awesome against the white.
I am thinking of having my silver 507 wheels resprayed.

Thanks man, I miss the car. It's a factory Niche color. Some people hate on Niche but I've had good luck with them. You can check the website, but it think it was called "gunmetal".
Personally I've had bad luck having wheels painted, even professionally. I had my Range Rover done by the dealership and the finish did not last as long as I would have liked.
