May I ask how the white interior has held up over time? Very close to ordering the white/black designo interior on the C43 I'm about to get, but am weary of whether the white will stain easily and/or be hard to maintain.
I decided to change a few things to make the car more aggressive...
Front spacers changed from 15mm to 20mm - they sit nice and flush now, they were a little tucked in before.
Rear spacer has been changed from 12mm to 10mm and I've changed the tires from the 285s to 295s. It looks much better now and has filled out the guards nice. I had to remove the plastic flic thing on the rear arches so there is no rubbing.
Even though its only a small difference, car feels like its got more grip on the road... even with the tires cold
This should do me while I figure out my new wheels by early next year.
Here are a few quick pics at the shop (cars sitting higher as it just came off the hoist).
dayuuumm... this is really sick Sanch ! 20mm front and rear 10 mm with 295s on the back? how low was the drop?
you got me thinking of this ... ugh i wanna do the same on my sedan !

The drop was initially 20mm all around but had to raise front slightly due to scraping.
Hey I appreciate the response! Your 63 looks amazing, I was originally leaning towards the regular black as opposed to obsidian black on the 43 I'm ordering, as I was a bit worried the obsidian wasn't a deep black and could come off as grey or muted; but, your pics have definitely convinced me that it is indeed a deep looking black, looks fantastic.

Thanks mate, yes the colour is a deep black and in the sun you can see the metallic flakes. Def can't go wrong.
Car looks great! Looks so much better lowered and flush. Great choice on going with a 295 in the rear. Doesn't sound like a 305 is an option. Congrats!

Thank you! I think 305s will fit but will look really bulky!
