Any of you part gurus know where I can source OEM C63BS exterior carbon fiber package bits? Ideally, I'd like to procure all of these parts and preserve/store my original parts but I'd be happy with finding just the CF mirror covers and the rear trunk lip spoiler. I have found a couple P31 rear trunk spoilers for sale but not sure if its the same one that came on the BS? If not, would it fit without needing to drill new holes?
Yes, this is still very available for ordering and is not discontinued, yet, directly from Mercedes; the non-aero pack carbon lip spoiler for the C63BS, part # 204-790-11-88, should be #350 on the OEM parts diagram from Mercedes (#360 would be the full wing assembly for the aero-pack).
I was able to get a quote on these carbon aero bits just yesterday.
matter in fact, i do not believe any of these OEM carbon bits are discontinued from Merc just yet.

Oh, that's great to hear they're not discontinued, yet. How much were you quoted? The carbon lip spoiler appears to still be available, but were you able to get quotes on all the other pieces, too (carbon side skirts, mirror caps, rear diffuser, front splitter? If I can get the whole kit, I'd likely just do it all up at once even if it's $10k.

I tried to price a side skirt and they were both listed as NLA a few months ago - the front splitter was also NLA - EDIT - there were none in inventory world wide, but it had not gone NLA when I priced, so might be hope they make more and it comes back in stock. (I was pricing the carbon kit one like in your picture, there are 2 part numbers for carbon splitters, one for the carbon kit and a larger one for the aero kit version that is about 1" larger).

yes, most, if not all, are on back-order; as of late, Merc seems to wait till there are enough orders (make sure your parts-rep placed one, instead of waiting for it to become available before sending a PO), then they'll go through the production.
For example: I've recently just received #204-690-41-49-9G86 (as of 1st wk of August 2022), which is something that is shared across ALL c204, including the non-AMG; my service rep originally was waiting for its availability since Nov/Dec of 2021, then he emailed Germany HQ around March 2022, and that's why they told him to just put a PO into the system. By May 2022 he had a notification of ETA saying end of June 2022, but it wasn't till end of July 2022 that they shipped the parts after completion from production.
I'd imagine the backorder on BS parts might have an even longer wait; there's this white one (aero-pack/track-pack) from North Carolina that got side-swiped in *Nov 2021 (edit: not 2022, sorry), his IG handle is @maximoc63, and most likely needed to order the same side skirts as to what you were inquiring, had his car sitting in his garage for 6mo., waiting for parts, then finally made the trip out to the collision center / bodyshop around end of May 2022 to get worked on.
On a side note, there's another white one, LHD/aero-pack/track-pack/carbon-pack too but Euro spec (35210km driven), being listed as of yesterday in Austria, got a pretty serious driver-side front 3/4 collision; everything besides the front bumper/grille/head-lights/hood and driver side front fenders, are actually looking okay, if anyone is interested of buy it together for parting-out, feel free to DM me.
