can anyone confirm it’s a direct fit?

I did this on our 43 and it is NOT a direct swap. There is cutting required on the AMG flare because they are longer. Some tabs line up but the ones near the bumper don't and you will need some double sided tape. The flares are very expensive (1500 is what I paid) so you got to know what you're getting yourself into.

Like Radride mentioned , cutting and removing tab is needed but it's possible .
If you google GLC 63 fenders flare you can find a vendor selling a set .
I got a quote for $380 shipped and quality seems good .

Spacer fitment: Flush by my standards.















Wonder if this wheel setup (spacer) will work on 2023 43 coupe? Nice ride!

@JesseRohr What size bolt did you use for the spacers? And where did you buy it? Thank you?

Hello, what size tires are put on this rim?

I prepped my baby for sale today. Took the roof rack off, removed the JB4, removed the BMS intakes and put it back to stock, removed the sub and amp, cleaned it out. Winter wheels were already back on it so no change there. Used the OBDII dongle to raise it back to stock ride height. It was a torrid love affair but all things have a beginning a middle and an end and our time has come.
The roof bars, JB4, BMS intakes and the AMG wheels w/ tires will all be listed for sale. PM me if you're interested before I list them.

Quote: Had ceramic coat (Opticoat Pro Plus) put on my GLC3, and picked her up today. Also recently had 3M film installed on the front, mirrors, door edges and cups, and rear bumper. Also got the front windows tinted.



By cups, do you mean the areas behind the door handles? I picked up a 2020 GLC63 and it had PPF in the cups but they are rectangles. Are yours shaped to fit the oval area?

2022 GLC43 Spoiler Lip, Black trim maintenance, RENNTech;)

Installed aftermarket eBay spoiler lip. It came with enough 3M tape for 2 rows but I filled the edge with a 3rd row. It’s on there solid.
