Hi Fellow MB owners,

In late July, I got an allocation for a 2019 GLC 43 Coupe.

As of the start of September I still have not got a VIN although my guy at MB Brampton says it shouldn't be long now. Once the 43's start being released, he says my car will go into production.
I had originally ordered this with the Selenite grey Magno paint, but started reading on the difficulty of maintenance of this. I am now just getting the selenite grey and going to stealth wrap the paint to get the satin look while also protecting the car.
This will be a daily driver for me and I do a fair amount of KM's. Of course this would be saying good bye to my C350 coupe which I have enjoyed for the last 4 years.

Here's what I spec'd for my 2019....
992 - Selenite Grey
MPP - Premium Package
ADP - AMG Driver’s Package
IDP - Intelligent Drive Package
MLS - Active LED Lighting System Package
684 -21” AMG Twin 5-Spoke Bi-colour Wheels
Designo Red Seatbelts
Night Package
971 - Black Designo Nappa Leather
H73 - AMG Carbon Fibre / Aluminum

Cheers

There is definitely going to be a point where I get a Selenite magno vehicle, if they ever do designo in the E63S or maybe a GT 4-door. I have seen the same negatives, and then I have seen a few people that love magno and have more than one. With the right place doing the wrap, that should look good...specially with the black designo interior, that should look really good. Here's to it arriving sooner rather than later!

Identical order to mine. Interesting your thinking of stealth wrapping selenite grey, I'm on the fence of doing it, i'll look out for your pics . The decision was made easier for me as Magno isn't available where I live.
I too am waving goodbye to my c43 coupe when my order comes in, will be a hard day.

Update on release.

My contact at MB Brampton told me they received intel that the GLC43 will be released early September in Canada. So it should be any day now.
