Does anyone know the specs on ground clearance for cars with the aero package (vs without). Curious if there is a difference and based on the pics shared recently it looks like aero front fascia may be lower, but I may be wrong. Appreciate any guidance.
i believe in the front it’s 4.4095” without aero and 4.06” with aero.. I was doing research a few months back and got those figures.
I'm planning on transferring the rims from my previous BMW to the Merc
Here's what I have (Vorsteiner VFF-103):
Just caught this post, nice wheels but have you checked ET offset and bolt/lug PCD for compatibility ?? AFAIK the PCD is way off and too far apart even for re-drilling which is not recommended anyway.
Thank you guys! I picked up the car this past Saturday and have been in the honeymoon phase, I couldn't be happier.
I'm coming from a 2013 E92 M3 which I loved very much, this AMG is a very different driving experience... as expected, it's dominated entirely by the motor and sound (the torque is unreal), it's amazing!
Here are some more pics from this weekend as requested : )
Looks amazing !
Despite there being a new RS5 along side my eyes remained glued on the AMG as though the RS5 didn't exist...apologies to VAG fans
i believe in the front it’s 4.4095” without aero and 4.06” with aero.. I was doing research a few months back and got those figures.
Pics of mine below. 6.25” at centre of bumper! Quite a difference......
I have lowered the rear, not the front (as yet ). In lowering the rear, the front dropped circa 10mm, so in fact the measurement should be around 6.5” not 6.25.
Why do we have such a difference?

Awesome thats even better as I was worried about the snow and getting the aero. Now no worries lol.. I guess my guy with the intel failed on that one lol

No problem. Lowering the front this week. Personal plate on. A bit of paint protection film on...... the wider sill covers protrude a lot & they are easy to scuff getting in/out or the car. I’ve already purchased 305/30/20’s for the rear but they are summer tyres, so we’ll leave for now (only 5 or 6mm on from New so they’ll last a long time !)
Also contemplating secondary cat delete. Done this on previous V8 AMG SLK (2008) made a huge difference to the sound; however I must say the C63s is already louder in sports+ mode than I expected, but I’m a bit of a tinkerer so it’s a distinct possibility.

Looks like my spec except i got the 2 exterior cf packages and all black inside... Love your spec!!! Looks amazing!!!!
I was looking at the carbon fiber weave on a ton of AMG's at my dealer and didn't find imperfections as some have stated.. my dealer said if there is a noticeable imperfection they just replace it under warranty and have rarely had to do that.. how is the CF weave on your interior? any noticeable imperfections that annoy you?

Congrats and again great spec!!!!
Thanks! I inspected it with that in mind and didn’t notice any issues. It looks really great in person; I’m glad I selected it. Car is in getting PPF now and I can't wait to get it back.
fantastic, thank you Tiledhouse for sending this re: the clearance height of the aero package. Is it the same in Europe and USA? Question to C63s w/ aero owners in the USA ... can anyone confirm or if you have one take a measurement to share with all. Thanks!

Not sure. Will have to have my tire shop look into it once the car is here. Those rims looked really nice on Beemer but not sure how it'll look/fit on the Merc.
LawyerUp1 - first, awesome car, love it. Question though, it looks like the top of your rear spoiler is the same color as the car body and the rear side of spoiler is polished black. Is this accurate with the aero package? the order guide seems to suggest that all components of the package are in high gloss black (including the rear spoiler).
I open this up to anyone with the aero package actually, perhaps you could comment as well. many thanks as always everyone.

Thanks! The entire rear spoiler is black. For some reason, the glare/picture makes it look grey. I hadn't noticed in the picture until you pointed it out, but it is definitely black.
Are we going to see more pictures and videos from owners or did you forget about rest of us?
Any exhaust videos?
For your viewing and listening pleasure. Graphite Grey Magno. (Sorry, no aero pkg, folks). Full Suntek Stealth wrap. clear wrap on headlights, smoke wrap on taillights. black vinyl wrap between panoramic roof and rear window. Carbon fiber wrap on the door handles and portions of the front grill work. Gtechniq ceramic coating on everything not wrapped, including the wheels. Xpel Prime XR+ window tint on all glass.
The audio clip is short, but you'll definitely enjoy ...
I got a call from dealer this weekend saying that my '19 C63S Coupe will start its build within the next few days, and I have a potential delivery time of mid December. I'm located in NYC and placed a down payment and order way back in March this year.
did you purchase from MB manhattan?
i am in nyc as well.

Feynlab Self Healing Plus, or Self Healing Lite?
Did they put the Feynlab over the Xpel Ultimate, or just the rest of the car.
Thanks for the info. I'm getting ready to order a C63s, and I'm looking to learn from others who've been down this path and are closer to these things than I am.
