I'm in the UK and considering replacing all the "black plastic" highlights on my C63S with carbon fibre.

Having just attempted to sell it on AutoTrader, after 6 weeks of only calls from Traders I've decided to keep hold of the car and spend some money on it to make it a little more unique.

I've done some Googling, but there doesn't seem to be much available in the UK, so hoping people can point me in the right direction.

As you can see from the photos below, my C63S is silver and the black plastic parts are:
- Rear spoiler
- Side skirts
- Wing mirrors
- Front bumper (some parts - not sure if all the black parts are replaceable, or if the whole front wing would need to be replaced, which would probably be too expensive). I know the splitter (the lowest part of the bumper) comes in 3 parts as I had to replace the middle part.
- Rear lower diffuser
- Rear "ears" (not sure what these are called)

Can all the above be replaced? Any recommendations of UK suppliers/fitters?

It may not have sold because the steering wheel is on the wrong side. I fixed that for you.

Not even the traders would make me an offer now 😂

Yes you can definitely change all of these to real carbon, I would say get it only from Mercteil, they sell all the original carbon fibre parts, it will be expensive tho. i think all of it will be around 8k I think.
Mirror caps are around 1000
Side skirts are 1200 each
front piece around 1300
back diffuser is 1500
spoiler another 1200

Add shipping and taxes, id say around 8k.

I got few parts from them and they are awesome!
Getting OEM parts will make sure perfect fitment and highest quality, worth the extra $

Are you sure you want to keep it mate? What made you list her in the first place?

Honestly your car looks incredible as it is maybe figure out if you want to really hold onto it first before splashing out on carbon everything.

Thanks for the link, however 8k is definitely a lot more than I was planning to pay for a makeover!

Thanks Jimmy.

TBH the main reason for trying to sell the car was to take advantage of the high second hand car values, but I think a car of my value is a better proposition for someone if purchasing from a dealer or garage, than privately. For me to sell to a dealer is a non starter as they were offering silly amounts, which I understand, as they also need to make a profit!

As it hasn't sold, I'm keen to enhance my enjoyment by spending a little money on it. As I now work full time from home, it is like a neglected pet and spends most of its life in the garage, only getting used a couple of times a week and even then, only for short journey's. Not ideal for a premium car like the C63S.

I'm not planning to spend anything like 8K on it, but may pick and choose which black plastic to change, such as possibly the rear spoiler and side skirts. Maybe even the wing mirror covers. If I start changing parts, I need to be careful it won't end up like Mickey Rourke's face after all his cosmetic surgery!!!

I’ve been there a couple of times, and what I have learned is once the idea of selling is on your mind, anything you do to the car is wasted money, because you will end up selling it anyway…sooner than later

Good luck

So true. Don’t waste your money. Just get another car as it seems you don’t really want this car.
