In short, he said he wishes MB gives this car a more 'heavier' feel, eg louder engine sound, stiffer suspension (he considers the suspension is still too 'light' in S+ Mode), more hp from the engine, heavier steering...etc
But then, he admits that perhaps he is seeking the C63 feel from this C43.

Edit: To clarify I meant the steering too light.

I'd bet money these will be included MY24 and beyond...

Certainly possible, for example the 2017 C 43 (for example mine) had the old blue MB star while the 2018 got the updated with a new MB star while is in line with their other models in 2018.

Just have a lot of protection prior to tinting, a couple of cloths to protect the delicate SAM module located in the trunk, no need to detach all the seats, I am worry about them introducing rattles if they do that hopefully not though.

I bought from (I've never used before and will report my findings after receiving. My normal parts place does not have it listed): https://www.mbpartscenter.com/oem-pa...ign-0008170708
If you call they will likely give you a cheaper shipping rate

I hope so!
I'll keep my eye out and post it if I find it - the Kunzman site does not list part numbers.

C43 — 2023
I got an update, my car's production got pushed back to March. **** that. I'm going to try to just find something here at VPC because from what I hear the car will be released by MBUSA beginning of February. Although they have been saying that for months now lol

Sorry to hear that but if the car is exactly how you ordered and therefore the spec you want and that there are no omissions due to supply chain constrains, although waiting always stinks, I believe it is worth it?

I saw this earlier somewhere else and I think the only thing mentioned was that the pins on the back of this aligned horizontal versus vertical, or vice versa, so they had to grind the back down to make it work. Probably not a huge deal, but that was the only negative on it. Wish I could remember where I saw it and the model...

The emblem is in plastic not metal, they tried to put in on a GLC 63s, which was the issue, I don't think you will have this issue on a W206 C 43 though. I might be wrong... If someone gets the part number of the MB hood star on the W206 C 43 we could probably look at the back and see if it is the same as the Affalterbach logo.

All the non custom order cars at VPC are missing most of the options that I want so it’s going to be a long wait for me.

For those of you potentially holding off, I would still check out inbound/VPC stock to see if any specification that's appealing to you hasn't been accounted for.
The way the world moves these days, you never know when/if there is another delay that could bump your car into 2024.

true but honestly I found about 3-4 of them that are very similar to what I’m looking for and they’re at VPC or they’ll be here by the end of this month & im just waiting for the release. If you read a post I posted a while ago, I also explained I need to get rid of my current car ASAP
