Cool thanks. Any reason you didn’t go for a 10” wide front?
I went off another oem build. There is definitely more room to grow. I will see the widest i could go. Maybe 10.5. The rears can go a bit in more also but not to much
Hi Dale, I really love your build. Could you perhaps make a parts list w/ part #’s for people who may want to convert to a BS in the future(me, hint-hint)? Thanks!
I am doing a new thread for my oem black series. I made a thread couple months back with doing a fiberglass kit which i gave up on. It was way to much work to get it right so i decided to buy all oem black series parts. ( over a 100 parts). if you are trying to do the same thing, you are looking at around $12k just for parts, 3k to take the quarters off and about 5k for paint depending on shop. I did not want to spend another 8k for that so i decided to build this at home in my garage. I did not buy the track package and did not get the wider track because i wanted custom deep concave rims. Technically this is a black series now. all parts came from Mercedes Germany and pretty much all on back order and will be waiting months to get them. follow me on instagram @ blwn63

or at least give some hint how to make sure which exact parts needed.
Pls!
Nice mods mate! Seems top notch fitment. If I could join with my 0,02 cents, I'd loose the "s" in C63s... As it's not accurate. But hey, just a personal though. Enjoy it!!!

Look amazing man, great work😍
Can I ask how much just the body pieces cost you. Just the bumpers, quater panels etc? Thanks
Surprised you were able to purchase BS parts without owning a BS. I was told you have to go to a Mercedes dealership with proof of ownership to order BS parts.
Nice job, I can't see too well but maybe you want to adjust hood alignment as there looks to be a bigger gap by the passenger headlight, otherwise great work
Yes, i would definitely do it again. Its cheaper. The only thing is waiting on all the parts and it takes a while because most are on backorder.
Great job, where did you but the oem spoiler and flicks? My local MB dealer is quoting me $12,900 Canadian dollar (about 10k USD) I have an Bkacj series with out the Aero kit and want to add the OEM kit.
There is no way the OEM BS parts required for a proper conversion could cost just $12k. You’re looking at $16-18k alone for the major parts (hood, front bumper, front fenders, side skirts, quarter panels, rear bumper and not including meshes, connecting sheets, brackets, accessories, nuts and bolts, wheels, suspension etc.).

Still a big difference from here. But i heard that they can give a discount of 33% at the dealer. But searching now for a dealer that wil give it less expensive. Want to do a built also because my c63 is blackseries on paper....
