Was really hoping it was on that ship with yours, oh well, I've waited this long, 16 more days shouldn't be too bad.

I still wouldn't bet the cars won't be on the same boat in any case Trim. I've not heard anything more since it arrived at Bremerhaven (for Zeebrugge). Even if it does arrive in the next week or so it would be foolish of me not to wait to get a 66 plate. Either way it isn't THAT long a wait for either of us relatively speaking

Just a thought. If you have off street parking or better still a garage, which I'm sure you do You could have the car delivered. No different from 66 plates siting on the forecourt waiting for September 1.

I do agree that it needs a little bit more noise however I don't agree that downshifts are slow - they are plenty fast - as fast as a DCT transmission.

Great review.

My dealer has just confirmed that my car is HUDless... Well at least I can stop thinking about that now.

@Uga I asked about taking delivery before the 1st and the dealer said they can't do it. Has to be registered before it leaves them apparently.

Sometimes we don't know what we want until it's shown to us.

Mercedes C63S Coupe Edition 1
Hi Guys,
Just had confirmation today that my C63S Edition 1 is due to arrive at the dealer on 26th August. The date was 28th August but has been brought forward 2 days. Getting impatient now!
Was due to be here Mid-July, then delayed to early August, then delayed again due to "Panaramic Roof issues".
Am going to wait till 1st Sept now and have booked to collect at 4:30pm :-)

Don't know how some of you guys have waited so long!! I ordered in May (it was a stock order they had coming in and was literally the spec/colour I was after so have not had to wait as long :-)

Mercedes C63S Coupe Edition 1
It is in magno selenite grey with the dark graphite grey stripes, extras to edition 1 were HUD and 360 camera.
Just getting very impatient now but I know after driving the C63 coupe demonstrater it's going to be worth it
Must admit the car sold itself about 3 seconds after pressing the start button!

Know what you mean when I pressed the start button and that lovely V8 burble emitted from the exchaust I was sold too. I went for same options as I have those on my 6 Series at the moment and would not be with out them now on any car. Would have been a deal breaker if it did not have them.
When for decals removed as they looked over the top on the white car looks a lot nicer with out. The gray strip on mango selenite grey won't be in your face like the yellow would have been. Is the mango the Matt or satin finish ?

Mercedes C63S Coupe Edition 1
I was debating whether to have the stripes removed - the dealer said they would remove them if I wanted to - I have decided to keep them because I don't think they will stand out that much being a dark grey on magno grey - I presume the Magno Selenite Grey is a matte and not a Satin - not too sure on that!!!

Regarding tracking the car when it is on the ship - is it the 2wglobal website that you guys use? Does anyone know what the departure and arrival port is for shipment to the UK?

Personally I like the side stripes at least and specced the silver car with them in mind (having seen and liked silver ED 1 saloons). I'm not totally sure about the roof/bonnet stripe but it is an OTT car so why not have an OTT stripe

I *think* the magno is more satin than matt. I would have gone for magno myself but I just don't like the extra hassle of keeping it clean and the problems with repairing minor(ish) scratches.

Interesting, this dealership had the standard wheels painted black, makes quite a difference imo.

Much better too IMO. Looks like they might have punted the brake calipers too right?
Thought you could only have red or gold with the Ed.1?

Is that something you can get any dealer to organize of you wanted to?

It's a base C63 so those are the standard brakes (grey calipers and slightly smaller size I think).

I believe so, there was a picture of a coupe in a dealership that had the front grille all blacked out, looked pretty mean.
