Thanks! I went with 15mm in the rear and 10mm in the front. Personally wanted to go with 12mm/10mm however the bolt sizing were a challenge. The badges were an ebay purchase and they look quite good for now, we will see how they hold up.

Waiting impatiently for the lowering module. :/

Yeah the OBD Module took a while to ship but definitely worth the wait! For the Rear spacer, did you use the same bolts not get extended? I'm considering the same thing since my fronts will poke a bit.

I used 60mm bolts in the back and 55 in the front. Finding 58s in black in spec was the challenge. Im sure they are out there but my source's (Nemesis) supplier did not have them.

Here is how they came out, it'll look a little goofy until the right height is down a little bit.

I also purchased my black badges from Ebay and they have held up over a year now.

I used this guy.

Correction, one set came from Australia and the other from the US.

Rear:https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/223609021827
Sides:https://www.ebay.com/itm/333341887114

I also picked up a set of Carbon fiberish door hand covers, they look quite dinky but I may throw them on just to see how bad or good it looks. I'm not optimistic

Since I have the carbon fiber package, I originally was going to wrap my door handles and taillight eyebrows in a carbon fiber wrap. My "Wrapper" said "what are you, a 16 year old rich kid?" and refused to do it. I am glad I went with black.

I just had my door handles wrapped black. Why MB doesn't at least make the AMG models color matched is beyond me. Nevertheless I also I bought the carbon-fiber look 3m jammies from ebay but cannot get myself to put them on. To use your word they are indeed, "dinky".

@flatsick can you post the spacers you used and bolts you ordered please ?
Love the white man.
You need to get some full gloss black wheels on that thing and drop it.
Will look even more savage !

LOL, they have been sitting in my glove box for a month, highly unlikely to install. I would do a wrap and would love to see yours.

RE: Spacers, Martin from nemesis did all the work, I just told him what i wanted. martin@nemesisautosport.com these guys are outstanding.

RE: Wheels, Im debating the CH-R Nurburgring editions but ill probably leave it be as i don't need another project. They are delicious though and would work perfectly on the white/black/red combo

He does. 15mm front and 10mm rear. I didn't think it was too far. I think it makes it look more masculine. You think it's too much?

I like it. Looks like a perfect fitment although I wonder if he mixed up the F/R. Normally, I think you would need a bigger spacer in the rear as the stock fit seems to have the rear more tucked in than the front.

Ok, I am kind of an idiot when it comes to this stuff. Did you do the badges yourself? If so, is it hard to get them in the right spot? I have a 2020 in white and I would love black badges, but I have never done anything like that before. Thanks.

Yup, just use some masking tape to make a template or to mark where they go back. Remove using heat and fishing line or dental floss, and replace.

2020 GLC AMG 43







Just picked-up my Mojave Silver baby with fully black interior, to include the black wood console.

I am thinking about adding the running boards, as I think they make the vehicle look a bit more sharp. Also considering switching out the wheels to something black while sticking with the 20" tires.

Super jazzed about this bad *** machine so far.

Here is my SG Magno. I believe I ordered just about every option. Thanks to Germantown. Sticker sat around 94k.

If anyone is interested in my 2018 I am going to put up for sale. I think the members have seen my build. To the new owners welcome. It is a great daily.

Nice! I ordered the 43 with almost the same specs except the seats. Looking forward to it as it's a June build.
something like this with red calipers

What a great color. I'm curious how you like the touchpad over the knob...maybe let us know after you've gotten used to it. Quick Question....why the grey this time instead of the black?
