Future plans - I will be painting the rear brake caliper silver and applying AMG logo to match the front. Spacers to push the wheels out a bit. Ceramic coating. Window tinting.
I'd like to do an intake. I would debate lowering the car if an option comes out soon.
Beautiful car. By they way do you know if that rear spoiler from that studio package would fit over the lip spoiler that comes without that package? or that lip spoiler can be removed?
CONGRATULATIONS!!! That's sexy B right there! So glad the wait is over for you and just in time before it gets too hot out. Is the ride on the 20s smooth? I hope I don't regret 19s but plan to swap anyway. Can't wait to hear your in-depth review! Enjoy!!

Ty! 100% the OEM one would have to be removed. Probably held on with double sided tape.

Ty! 20's seem good. I'm in Florida with relatively good roads. No regrets - they help make the car look special. They have a visual heft to them in real life.
Are you going to do any MBUX mods? I enabled youtube videos even when car is in motion on a wireless android auto (on BMW but it's the same idea). But I am not sure I want to encourage people to do it as it might be dangerous.
I must admit that those low profiles tyres give me goosebumps. Hard to imagine they can survive a basic pothole. Even if so, wheels are likely to get scratched or damaged?
I think C43 has stock 245/45R18 front and rear. Yours look having an even lower profile? What size(s) are they?

I actually don't have any desire to use in motion video at this point. I'm sure there are other things I would be interested in but it's all so new still.

Lastly, what a gorgeous car!
Believe it or not there is a decent amount of sidewall here. 245/35 R20 on 8.0J x 20 ET43.1 (front), 265/30 R20 on 9.5J x 20 ET61.1 (rear)
Absolutely gorgeous, that is exactly how I would spec the exterior if I got one. Excited to see your future impressions and photos. Enjoy your new ride!

Hey, do you notice the back of your baby was spray painted by some naughty boy? Report that to the police and hope he gets caught. :-)
Other than that, very nice and clean look!
Hey what did you use to prop up the emblem to change it?
It just pops right up. I used painters tape to protect the paint (probably unnecessary but worth the precaution). I then used a small flat head to pry it up a little to then fit a plastic trim tool under, then applied some leverage and it was basically out and then was removed by hand. Super simple.
PPF gloss black roof w/ standard sunroof. Really loving this addition. Ties the studio pack bits in nicely. That will more or less conclude the mods until some performance bits come out for the car. Things I would consider doing: intake and suspension.

Beautiful. Makes it look just that much more sleek
Proof of concept (not permanent). I did not like it at first, it grew on me over a week and I then went back to stock. If going forward with powder coating you'd want to remove the aero blades prior and do something different with the center caps.
I also just hit 1,000 miles today and got to try race start a couple of times. The sound is super cool despite some reviewers nay saying
