I have just noticed Mercedes have released a new July specification sheet for Australian cars. I have not reviewed it in detail yet but did notice one new addition - an exterior carbon package. Had that been available when I placed my order in May, I might have chosen it instead of the Edition 1. Is this package available in other markets? What do members think of it?

It's always been available in the UK. I didn't order it though.

In US it is the spoiler and the side mirrors.

In Australia, it is carbon fibre on the front apron, door sill panels, rear apron, radiator grill, mirrors, and rear spoiler. Not sure of the price though.
I imagine it would look great all together as a package on the car, particularly on a colour such as polar white.

Yes, I see they have just added the Exterior Carbon Package. I'm probably going to change my order to include the package, assuming the pricing is not ridiculous as the pics of the car with the carbon options look fantastic and I probably wouldn't want one without it.

In the US the c/f spoiler is 700 which is what I ordered on MY2016 but with the mirror caps as a package it's 1950. I ordered the polar white with the NSP package so the mirror caps are gloss black. 1950 is a bit steep imho.
Too bad they don't offer the rear diffuser in c/f.

The price in Germany is 3510.50 Euros for the Carbon Fiber Exterior Package 1

I'm with you. If the front splitter and rear diffuser were part of the carbon fiber package in the U.S. I would be all over it! But I just went with the carbon spoiler since the nsp package already gives me black mirrors.

The Exterior Carbon Package for Australia is about 10k including taxes.

whats the part number of cf rear spolier

Bourne10

$10k seems very expensive - more than the cost for the Edition 1 package.

Will617

It's on MBUSA build site

In Germany you get 2 choices though

Package 1
Short description
With sporty details of carbon gives this package the vehicle from every angle significantly more dynamic. The A-Wing in the front apron, side skirts and inserts in the above the rear diffuser are made of carbon.

Package 2 (same as the one in the US)
Short description
With exterior mirror housings and AMG spoiler lip in carbon sets this package effective contrasts and makes the car even more dynamic appearance. The AMG spoiler lip reduces lift at high speeds on the rear axle.

Will617

This looks the same as Package 1 and 2 in Germany

JoelSolid

Well 10k would be expensive if that's what it would cost in the U.S. But it wouldn't cost nearly that much here. The car in general is MUCH higher in AUS so we can assume that the packages are much more expensive as well.

I would still love to have the option for the full carbon fiber package in the U.S. They will probably offer it in future years. Oh well.

wumpyr99

Yes, it's more like $9.4k to be accurate. But the way I'm looking at it is that Edition 1 in Australia costs $7900 and all you get is a bunch of trim pieces and decals. To me it's just a plain old rip off. At least with the carbon package you actually get something tangible for your money, even though the value proposition is still not that high. I'd rather put my money into the carbon package than the Edition 1.

ole85

i can see it as a option but i can't see the part number for it maybe its right in front of me, if anyone can see it could they post it, I'm from Australia and thinking of buying it and sending it over as i don't want to buy a aftermarket one

Bourne10

I can not find any mention of it on the Australian "Configurator" web page.
However, I came across it through the updated Australian Specification guide that is also available on the web. In this, it details what is in the package and some of the individual code numbers but not one for the package overall.

Will617

Sorry man I did not know you were down under. You guys get your C63 from Germany right? Just the regular C class in made in S Africa. Am I correct on this?

German website. C/F spoiler is not available by itself but it is still MY2015. Maybe it will change for MY2016

JPMBenz

wumpyr99

The code on the MB ordering system in Australia is "EC1 - Exterior Carbon Package"

ole85

kingmonkey

JP can they be ordered I tried to order thru parts they said not available yet ? Is that possible?

kingmonkey

MB parts found the spoiler .I was quoted $875 . the rocker CF strips each one is the same price for those but those couldn't be ordered
