Stock side skirts?

Hi All,

I just bought a 2021 C63s Coupe with only 14k Km

I can’t tell if the side skirts are stock or OEM edition 1?

Thanks for confirming.

wondering if yours are sticking out a tad? I’ve seen a couple of them like this..

nothing crazy just something that mostly I notice.

and if you think this would be a warranty work/clip missing?

i looked behind it but seems like clip there and it’s fine?

That's your rocker panel sticking out. This part is separate from the side skirts. the side skirts had a history of coming loose, though. They were originally attached by subpar adhesive and eventually AMG came out with a revised part that attaches using clips. It took me 4 visits to the dealer and body shop. They tried to reattach them multiple times, even replaced the rocker panels, because the old adhesive wouldn't come off fully, but it didn't get resolved until they replaced mine with the revised parts. Now they are staying on, but in your case it looks like the rocker panel is misaligned somehow.

Is it the rear part of rocker panel that's popped out? My 2020 C63S with 3200 so miles had that part show because of some clip so warranty took care of it. As of March I have 6430 miles and the clips broke again. It is a known issue with W205's so i'm ignoring it.

Yea it is.

this is the part below which clips into other white clip.

my Passenger had it then I noticed my driver side slowly same.

for now going for warranty for the passenger. If it happens again I’m going to leave it:

mostly something I notice anyways. And not so much others.

Somehow I think the chassis is flexing so looking into buying a lower braces from Ultraracingeurope to try to reinforce it to minimize bend. Just waiting for a response from them to make sure it fits the coupe.
