Car at Dealership - Badging Question
I just saw some pics of my GT63 at dealership before shipping and looks like there is no space for S. Not a deal breaker but wanted to put the S badge on it after running tune on it. Very strange how they put badge on my car. No Space left. I am almost ready to Debadge it completely. The car is looking stunning and more pictures to come once I get the delivery.
Here is the list of things to do as I get the car.
1. Take lots of pictures and share
2. Take for entire PPF
3. Tune (Which one? Euro)
4. Lowering Module for 2021
5. Debadge

Thanks for confirming. I am almost on the path to De badge it. I have c63s and wanted this to be an S. However as I added options (Alot of them including Hi end sound system and lots of carbon fibre) my build went north of 200k. So went 63 route with promise of tuning and saved 15k. Don't like that it is not S. But well just removing the badge would make me feel better at this point. Yes different strokes for different people. The car is still with dealer. He keeps teasing me.

Paint Imperfections
Dealer called to say there were some minor paint imperfections and said that is very common on Matte colors. Not sure about this but he is offering a free Wrap around with stealth to cover it up. He send me pictures and I couldn't find it but may be at this price point and because of my relationship with him (buying 10 cars or more) he is doing it. Said it is not a big deal and this is more a gesture as I had to wait so long and I was planning to wrap it any way. I tried searching on the forum and couldn't find one.

This would be my first Matte color car. I have heard that color does reflect different in different light conditions and also if there are some shiny spots the wrap makes it invisible. For me the wrapped car needs to look 100% as I was going to wrap it any way. I would hold judgement till I see in person.

I am going to go for it. Trusting the dealer to fix it for me. I have tracked it over last 3 months from getting VIN created to Ocean to Baltimore VPC. COVID, Snow storms and holidays didn't make it any better. From 6 Miles on ODO to now 25. Paid first installment already. This is my Car that is sitting with Dealer. I would take full responsibility of whatever color MB painted for me. Yes the Dealer is known asset to me and so is the recommendation that I have with him. I see it is getting wrapped at a very nice shop which does high end cars. Keeping fingers crossed on being wowed when it arrives to me next weekend. You all would know as I would post pictures. Good Bad or ugly. Pictures would be there for my car. Wish me luck.

those bananas are show steeler. I got red calipers on c63s. This is perfectly different and stands out. Love it. It is very soft ride compared to my 17c63s. Lots of luxury too. I selected acoustics package and it rides like an e class in comfort and like a monster in sport +. 2021 is a nice upgrade from 2020 that I test drove.
