Cool 2020 GLC43 - Show us yours!

Hey guys, I think it would be fun to share some photos of your new 2020 GLC43.

I ordered mine late November and picked it up last week, also please feel free to ask questions about the car and specs.

One of the few things I wish I had on my 2018 is that lower rear diffuser and the quad exhaust tips. Wonder how much that conversion would run. Good luck with the 2020 my man.

Nice. Definitely post up pics when you get, would love to see the SG Magno. Also, is the dealer doing the red brake calipers or is that a factory option for you? Congrats, great build.

That’s cool! Congratulations! Naming is a little bit different than the US, was that order placed from Canada or Australia? Also the res calipers is a very nice idea, they don’t offer it here unfortunately.

For the selenite grey magno, it’s a great color and I really wanted it but decided to get a metallic instead as I heard matte could be difficult when it comes to cleaning and taking care of it.

​​​​​​I'm from Canada and everything is an option in the US as I see. The magno matte has a clear coat if you get close to it so shoudnt be that hard to keep clean hopefully 🤔
Attached is a pic of what I hope will be delivered

Looks good man (Y) Could you please check with dealer if they paint the calibers locally or from the factory? Because even the german builder doesn't support painted calibers, if the dealer does it locally then I might pay a visit to Canada )

I was told by the dealer that its done in their own shop but not sure of all the details if locally or a third party but they will look the same as factory.
Anyways for my lease I can return the car with them no penalty

P. S On the ​​​​63s they are standard up here

Hopefully you get yours on time. I was supposed to get mine (simulr except magno) this week but the train disruption got my car stuck at Halifax port. May be a month late.

I have been waiting on mine since beginning of December, been in the port of Halifax, along with another 200 or so vehicles, it’s got nothing to do with the trains, they could have put it on a truck, but I was told there is some parts being shipped from Germany that need to be installed before the vehicles are released, my ETA, is mid March, yah let’s see if that happens...that’s the third delivery date I was told.....

Just do what I did -- order the 20's with all season tires because of the better ride and lack of crabbing, then tell anyone who actually cares that they're 21's.

I was hesitant as well, I wanted the 21" since they make the car look more aggressive but I thought the 20" looks much better imo. They might look small in the picture but they are big enough in real life.

Wow, looks great my DE neighbor. Get at MB of Wilmington? Tint looks good, what kind and %...Cindy's? Doing PPF? The white with night package and black badging is fantastic. Some fun roads in the valley to carve up with that. Enjoy!

Hey There! I purchased it from West Chester. the tint I believe is 18% its 2% lighter than the rear. I would never use Cindy's again, their quality has fallen off greatly in the last decade, they are not what they used to be. I have been using Solar Shades for my cars for the last 2 years and I haven't seen a better tint job. Thanks, the valley is reserved for the fun car, one of the best strips of road in the country. This one is a daily but its awfully tempting to drive like a sports car.

Cool, yeah I had tried WC but MB-Wilm had better pricing and was pretty good buying experience. Thanks on the Solar Shades recommend, I had tried them for my GTI, but they were like $150 more than Cindy's, so didn't really care on that vehicle. Ah, I'm assuming your "fun car" is the 911 on IG...sweet ride and loved the black HRE's.

Wheel fitment looks proper on this one 👍🏾. Did you use any spacers?

PS Your black badges are a nice touch.
